Blundstone Style 550 Walnut Brown Boots with Shoe Polishing Brush

Product Information

These boots are made to fit snugly around your ankle but over time, will loosen a bit over your instep but never lengthwise, making for a fit that continues to mold to your foot for years to come. Seamless You are comfortable all day long as well due to the Xtreme comfort EVA footbeds and XRD™ Technology in the heel and front of the soles. An easy to pull on work boot with elastic gussets and finger loop pull tabs. Available in Brown Leather.

A fitting option for both dressy and informal occasions alike, the Blundstone Comfort 550 Chelsea Boot arrives with detailed stitching along the heel and upper, delivering an undeniably sleek aesthetic appeal to them. One of the standout features of these boots is the level of comfort they provide. The boots come equipped with cushioned EVA and Poron®XRD Technology insoles, specially designed to offer superior protection when it's needed most. The insoles work together with the leather and synthetic inner lining to provide a soft and supportive fit that will keep your feet restful all day long. A similar model to this is the Barbour Readhead, though they have a lace-up system. Stops Slis You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots. There’s no break in period for the Blundstone 550. The leather may feel a bit stiff at first, but I doubt you’ll have any blisters or even soreness after wearing them brand new out of the box. I have feet that are super wide up top, but that taper near the ankles, so pull-on shoes are typically tough for me to wear comfortably. The Blundstone's double pull tabs and elastic side make it easy for me to slide them on and off, although I will admit it took a few tries to break them in. 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. They're not my all-time favorite boots when it comes to style, but I've grown to appreciate them, especially in the Rustic colorway. They have a worn-in finish, which is perfect for boots that might get roughed up — if you scuff them, it'll blend right into the natural look.Avoid exposing your boots to chemical contamination. Solvents, strong acids and alkalis will do irreparable damage on leather, whilst commonplace substances like milk and salt are also highly damaging. In the event of exposure, clean the boots immediately. I just wish the lining went through the entire boot, because that would definitely add a durability boost. Sole To clean the full-grain leather of Blundstone 550, first, remove any caked dirt on your boots with a soft bristled brush or a damp cloth. Once brushed, leave it to air dry while avoiding direct sunlight, which will dry out the leather. These systems also help to encourage upstream suppliers to improve their own environmental practices.

On the other hand, full-grain refers to the strongest part of the hide of an animal, which is just below the hair. It displays the more natural characteristics of leather because it has not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed (as opposed to corrected grain). That said, thousands of people have given their Blundstone 550 boots a 5-star rating and absolutely love them. Now that we’ve covered what makes the Blundstone brand stand out from the others and established that the 500 is their best-selling boot, it’s time to introduce the latest and greatest, the Blundstone 550, and what the differences are between the two. Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather.The 550 has a leather lining in the shaft of the boot, but the lining doesn’t extend through the full length of the upper. The majority of the instep and the toe box have a cloth lining, which isn’t nearly as durable. So while the extra leather should make these boots a bit more comfortable around the ankle and heel, it doesn’t add any meaningful longevity. You should use a leather conditioner on your boots whenever they need them. If your boots are looking a little scuffed and worn, always remember to use a conditioner. The Blundstone 1615 Chelsea boots, a waxed suede finish boots in Dark Olive leather. The 1615 is an unassuming but sophisticated twist on the Original 500 Series boot. With a Water-repellent upper and strong rubber soles. The Dark Olive Suede boot is a modern twist on a timeless design.

Blundstone boots typically have a loose fit. There should be roughly 1cm width of space from your toes to the top of the boots. If the front of your foot is touching the boot, they’re too small.

I've been a Doc Marten person for as long as I can remember, but I never really loved the look of the brand's Chelsea boots. So when my colleague Sally Kaplan told me about these Blundstones, I was almost immediately smitten. I got them in rustic brown, and I haven't really taken them off since.
