Australia is home to a lot of cool stuff – Uluru (Ayers Rock), kangaroos, Paul Hogan, Driza-Bone, Men at Work. Another name to add to this list should be boot maker Blundstone.
Founded in 1870 and based in Tasmania, Blundstone makes incredibly durable boots that are also remarkably comfortable. We have been testing a pair of suede elastic low boots and find them to be perfect knock-about boots for those times when you need to quickly pull on a pair to walk the dog, do some chores, or tick some errands off the To-Do list.
The company notes that the thermo urethane outer sole provides a durable and sturdy foundation and is paired with a steel shank that ensures torsional stability. A removable footbed and Poron® XRD™ cushioning in the heel strike zone ensure comfort.
Our less technical analysis find a boot that is an excellent compromise between walking shoes and work boots. They are easy to pull on, are comfortable and light, and keep your feet warm and dry.
Blundstone make a variety of models, all of which are perfect for the coming cooler weather and your chunkier, layered wardrobe.
