ROTOFLEX BY BLUNDSTONE

— STYLES DESIGNED AND MADE FOR WOMEN —

Iconic Australian footwear brand, Blundstone, has continued to lead the way in safety footwear, with the launch of RotoFlex®. This worldleading biomechanical design is a result of years of research and development into the needs of workers in the trades, building and construction industries. The RotoFlex range includes two styles designed specifically to provide a genuine women’s fit—the wheat (#8860) and stone (#8863).

An Australian first in providing composite safety in heavy industrial women’s safety footwear, the RotoFlex range has a Fortalite® toe cap. This provides lightweight, compression-resistant protection, suitable for a variety of industries.

The RotoFlex range features a biomechanically conforming sole design, GripTek®. Providing stability with every step, the unique TPU tread pattern and super cushioned midsole offer all-day stability, maximum comfort, and optimum grip. The innovative design of the GripTek sole also reduces slip hazard risk, fatigue, and ankle injury.

The #8860 and #8863 feature a water-resistant upper and an all-new zoned airflow footbed, AirCell®. The AirCell footbed has been uniquely constructed with specialised zoning designed to activate ventilation. This allows air to be pumped through channels to the heel, arch of the foot and between the toes, offering moisture control and cushioning comfort as the wearer walks and moves. The footbed has been shaped and constructed with a softer PU to provide optimal support for a woman’s build.

The overarching comfort system, SoftCell® utilises a combination of specialist materials and a unique biomechanical foot-cradling design. This increases stability, balance, and manoeuvrability—providing all-encompassing comfort from day one.

The RotoFlex Range also incorporates Infinergy®. This E-TPU material is a super elastic energy foam from BASF which is soft but resilient—providing enhanced cushioning and reducing the impact of every step taken.

“Blundstone is proud to be offering two more styles to increase our women’s offering in the safety market. The #8860 and #8863 are specially designed to conform to a woman’s foot, providing all the latest protection and comfort features found across our extensive unisex work and safety range. We believe women are entitled to all the same benefits afforded to men in industry, and we’re ready to release these new styles to an ever-growing female workforce,” says Kylie White, Australian sales manager.

Every component built into the RotoFlex boots has been researched, tested, and trialled to guarantee a truly innovative, better-performing, safety boot. The dedicated design team spent thousands of hours researching a range of options for each component of the boots and selected the best performing product—and if they couldn’t find the perfect piece, they created it.

Launching in September 2022, RotoFlex delivers stability with the freedom to move, providing hard working women with the very best in innovation and technology.
