Blundstone Luggage Dress Series Chelsea Boot

I had been eyeing up these boots for a while, and I finally bit the bullet. So glad I did! Really comfy straight out the box, and perfect to be worn for everyday. Sized down one size, as per the instructions on the blundstone website, and they were perfect.

I had been on the lookout for some time and was seriously considering ordering pair from Trippen (germany). A friend from down under suggested Blundstone and after checking them out online i decided to give them try. The boots arrived well within the estimated arrival date (schedule said 8th but i got them by the 2nd) nicely box packed. Its been 2 months since my purchase and i'm yet to find any fault in the boots.The boots looked like stated - a nice rustic antique brown finish (i have attached some pictures). I have slightly broad feet and was expecting that i would have to send them back, but these boots fit perfectly. The elastic sides ensure that the feet can go in and out with ease. plus there is enough space for me to wear the boots with either cotton socks or thick woollen ones. I've tramped all around the city during different weather conditions (glasgow is mainly wet, but i did wear the boots on the few days of sunshine) - the boots have held tight and not let water in. I as particularly worried about having to walk through puddles but it doesn't affect the shoe the least bit. Another great thing is that these is that they go well for formal and casual occasions - from work to the bar to the dance floor, these boots do great in any environment.I will recommend to dry the shoe out after coming in from the rain and applying a thin layer of wax/cream over the shoe. Additionally if you wear the shoe on an almost daily basis, i suggest to use a shoe perfume 1-2 times a week to keep the insole fresh. These boots actually make me want to take care of them.I think I just found my new favourite brand of boots - will update after a year on the condition of the boots !! In the meantime i'm gonna make the most of the new freedom,

Australia may not give too much of a hoot about climate change and burning lots of coal... but at least they can make a great pair of boots. Blundstone vying for top Aussie boot maker with my other favourite RM Williams. Keep up the good work boot makers of Australia.

Very comfy and look good when worn.

Time to replace my Timberland Chelsea Boots - sadly the style I like no longer made - So looked at alternatives - It’s between Blunstones & Redback.. so I ordered both pairs - Sadly Redbacks in my size sold out on Amazonia ! Delivered within 2 working days - they look much better than the pictures, nice quality, good fit, slightly square toe which looks good - great with black & blue jeans imho - will be keeping as good looking boot at a reasonable price - as for the Redbacks - supplier told me they’re out of stock despite accept my order - However very pleased with look & feel if Blunstones- so will be keeping them.

I decided to buy these shoes for work in a bar, meaning I spend most of my time on my feet, averaging nearly 25000 steps a day. Initially I was concerned wearing these in but the worries proved to be unfounded. I never had to break these in and settled into my work/life routine immediately, ending up becoming my go to shoe for everything. Admittedly, the grip on the sole isn’t as robust as I would like and having read up on the shoes history I expected just a bit more in that regard. As sizing go, I’ll admit I cheated, I found a shop that sells them in my city, tried them on and got the size right so I had no issue at all.

So I bought a pair of brown 500s about 6 years ago. I wanted something for casual wear, out at the weekends, walking the dog, down the allotment but thy would also scrub up. I dubbined the hell of of these boots and 6 year on, through hell and high water they have been fantastic. I can wear them out on a long dog walk one day and batter them, then give them a quick wipe and wear them as smart. They do come up big so I’m usually a small 10 and there is room for an insole in 9. My ultimate match is a size 9 with a superfeet green insole.Today I bought a second pair, some 1306 in brown. Just put some superfee greens in and wow.. amazing. There are for the office over the autumn/winter with the chisel toe a little smarter.I must admit, when I first bought the 500s all that time a go I wasn’t sure.. but I’ve grown to love them and now wouldn’t be without a pair or two. A truely versatile boot 👍

The first pair I received was very poorly sized. The left was a completely different fit to the right. I returned them and purchased another pair of the same nominal size. Perfect fit. To have such poor quality control in this brand and price is disappointing.
