Why blundstone boots

Ali said the store's most recent order included pairs of Blundstones, nearly three-quarters of which were sold before they hit the shelves. In December alone, Ali said the shop sold almost pairs of just its most popular model, Blundstone s in rustic brown. Ed Grace has worked at First Western for 18 years, and said Blundstones have become the best-selling item.

While the boots may be in high demand for now, Grace said a classic, quality boot will never be out of style. It really is addictive footwear. The broad appeal has made for "Blundstone families," Ali said, with kids, parents and grandparents all having their own pair. The brogue detailing gives these boots flare, but the water-resistant leather and lug soles mean they can hang through a walk through the mud.

I've also been shocked at how comfortable these boots are, thanks to the cushioned midsole. I've worn them all day without foot pain. And even though they act like technical boots, they don't look like them. I've worn them to dinner with friends with straight-leg jeans and with leggings and thick socks and they've looked slick with either outfit.

Sizing: If your feet are on the wider side like mine, you might want to go a half-size up — that's what I did, and these boots fit comfortably. Ever since I got my Chelsea Boot Classic Blundstones a few years ago, I've worn them pretty much nonstop for the entire fall and winter seasons.

A man of habit, I wear my classic Birkenstock Boston slip-on shoe up until a friend will inevitably say, "Bro, it's 35 degrees out, put on real shoes. The comfort, the reliability, and the fact that they go with most of my wardrobe really does it for me. I highly recommend these to anyone who just wants a versatile, laid-back, fun boot that works for all occasions. The fit is just right for a person with average shaped feet, with plenty of wiggle room, but snug enough to feel secure.

There aren't many cons to consider when it comes to Blundstones, but the tricky way styles are labeled is probably our biggest complaint. The differences in models and series aren't always clearly labeled or easy to figure out.

That said, we've never met a pair we didn't like, even if we couldn't always tell the differences between similar styles. We've tried more expensive boots that are less comfortable and less dependable in harsh weather. Blundstone boots work for nearly every season where boots are appropriate, and the classic Chelsea silhouette will never go out of style.
