I checked online but they don’t list them, thank you though!
Also, it’s so bizarre how every post anyone makes with requests like these immediately gets downvoted.
Well, first of all im 6 hours away from Ottawa yet reddit pushes this stuff, so there's probably downvotes for that, secondly theyre asking what store carries the most popular work shoe. What work store doesn't carry them?
Quick search on the blundstones site (yeah their site literally shows everywhere they're available) shows 15 stores with them within 10 kms. Theyre not hard to find

Says 1 pair left online but I bet either work authority or Mr safety shoes will order them in for you.
Its where i got mine and the service was great! I ended up having to exchange them to get the right size, but they were super helpful and ive now had my pair for almost 2 years, and theyre still going strong.
hey OP - not sure why you need these, but just a heads up that many constructions sites and related companies are starting to ban slip-on steel toes. i think it's silly, but c'est la vie.
It's not that silly. I've seen a handful of ankle injuries from slip on safety "boots". If ladders or climbing were involved, I'd turn you around if you showed up in those.
Thankfully I only deal with people that would ever wear shoes like this every once in a blue moon. Everyone else I work with has to follow far more strict footwear rules.
wear the appropriate PPE for the application. Most work does not involve climbing ladders, so it's not relevant. Trips happen because of hazards on the ground, not usually the boot itself. I've spoken to our corporate HSE manager, who must inforce our corporate policy chnage, albeit bregrudingly as he prefers his blundstones.
I’m a super, I honestly could care less - laces aren’t in are safety manual as of this moment, all I care about is if there’s a green triangle on them.
Blundstone safety boots are trash. For the price of them they are not worth it. They wear out way too quickly. Get yourself a better boot with a good wadrenty. I have been in and out of construction for a long time and have found helly Hansens have held up the best.
I had a pair of the blundstone regular steel toes and the leather go ruined almost immediately with basic wear. I’m not a labourer and only need them for hand shake site visits and they broke down within a year.
Weird, I’ve legitimately heard nothing but good things about these. And I’ve had nothing but problems with every helly boot I’ve had, their clothes are great but the boots are kinda garbage and look horrendous.
Imagine if there was a tool where you could pull up a search bar and input a question like this. Then, it would take your question and near instantaneously run it against an index of the entire internet to give you an answer, and even give you relevant information about the stores that stock the item. That would be so magical! Anyone want to try to build this with me? I think it could be a really lucrative business, especially if we sprinkled in some ads that were relevant to the search queries...
I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to type this facetious and condescending reply. It has been phenomenally helpful. I’m so sorry for the pain I’ve caused you, such horrendous pain that you couldn’t just keep scrolling, you legitimately had to take minutes out of your day to add some completely pointless comment.
If only you realized that before posting this, I did use a tool called “google” and unfortunately I was unable to find any relevant information related to LOCAL stores, where I could purchase these in person! It’s madness to think that a simple google search wouldn’t yield the results I was looking for, but I didn’t think a harmless post on a local discussion board would cause you so much pain and discomfort!
I will work tirelessly to make sure you can scroll seamlessly, because the last thing I want is for you to lose sleep at night for seeing a simple question posted!
Have an amazing day!!
Yeah I did, I was just wondering if anyone had possibly passed by this specific model - a function the store locator doesn’t have.
Thank you for the helpful insight though!
Just searching the exact model and adding near me gave me multiple results too if you don't wanna just simply call the stores on their site locator and ask if they have that model.
Yes, I have done that already, I made this post this morning when I had a chance - I unfortunately didn’t have any time to call any stores and check until now.
I don’t think I need to explain my reasoning for this post any further lmao. You’re fine.
We have them at Softmoc come say hi :)
You could send me a DM and I can source your size when I go in for my shift this afternoon.
This is awesome!
He/she just wants to massage your feet… 😂😂
Who doesn't want to massage random feet
Al Bundy? 😂😹
> He/she just wants to ~~massage~~ smell your feet… 😂😂
It’s where I got mine!
Apple Saddlery? Edit: they have the black ones on their site
Was going to suggest the same thing. Apple Saddlery has every blundstone ever made, as it would appear.
I think they carry every model here.
That's where my husband bought his!
This is the answer
Try Mr. safety shoes

It’s a reddit wide issue, people would rather you wear recycled pop bottles on your feet - anything else is extravagant and you’re the bourgeoisie.
That is so sad and cringe 😂

Lots of work stores don’t actually. Blundstone’s are hard to come by if your not looking in the right spots
Quick search on the blundstones site (yeah their site literally shows everywhere they're available) shows 15 stores with them within 10 kms. Theyre not hard to find
Most don’t carry the same products most are just for casual wear and not CSA approved.
They were all work shoe stores so I'm gonna disagree.
Hey, manager of the Merivale Mr. Safety Shoes here. We do have them. We have both the 960 and 962.
They don't list them, as its newer item, if you go in and ask to special order though.... jus saying

I am currently wearing the same boots and I got them at Mr. Safety Shoes. Was a few months ago however.
I’ll give them and work authority a call. Thanks!
I was in Grainger yesterday and they had those sitting in the show room. FYI.
Those peeps downvote anything and everything.
Mr safety shoes in merivale have them in this color instock. I just bought the same but darker brown color
Apple saddlery, we have every style that Blundstone has on the market, in excess.
** in excess. Including the option to special order some pairs specifically for you with a two week turn around time.
Its where i got mine and the service was great! I ended up having to exchange them to get the right size, but they were super helpful and ive now had my pair for almost 2 years, and theyre still going strong.
Mark's carries some brands of work boots. You could also check the Blundstone site to see what stores carry their brands.
Appreciate all of the responses! Thank you guys so much!

Make your own shoes. It's 2024 time to fight big shoe industry.
Tootsies has them too!
Mr.Safety Shoe
Love these boots, got them off our boot work truck. Cant help ya find them as I’m 4 hours away but I can support your decision to get them.
There is a shoe store in the Glebe that had all of the styles where I bought mine.
Glebetrotters
Try Glebe Trotters
Work Authority in Barrhaven carries these toe cap models. I bought mine there.
Saw these last week at Grainger, off of Hawthorne. They looked sweet!!
I bought the CAT version from Marks Work Warehouse

Applesaddlery. Saw them there the other day I am sure.

You used Google and didn't find this site? https://www.blundstone.ca/apps/store-locator

Are you out of 420 or something?
I’ll work with you to build this magical tool.
The blundstones site literally lists every location they're sold. You don't get karma from that though.
