Blundstone Style 550 Walnut Brown Boots with Shoe Polishing Brush

Product Information

Not only are the upper of both the Blundstone 550 and 585 waterproof, but the outsoles have more than enough grip to help you to navigate wet or slushy surfaces in the winter.

As the full-grain leather of the Blundstone 550 ages, it develops a patina, which is the change in color over time.This change is considered to be a desirable characteristicof the boot.The 550 has a steel shank, which is an improvement over the Original—the steel shank helps with arch support and adds stability into the mid-foot. 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'm not the most fashionable reporter here — far from it — but when I first got a pair of Blundstone boots, while I appreciated them for their rough-and-ready design, I wasn't a huge fan of the aesthetic. What's with the two oversized tags? Is this a Chelsea boot for shepherds? For old folks? I couldn't quite place the style.

You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots. Without laces, both the Blundstone 550 and 585 rely on a strong and elastic Gore-tex material on both sides of the ankle to secure your foot in place. The 550 features Blundstone’s Walnut Brown leather, which is a genuine leather. Genuine leather is a disappointment in a boot at this price.

Originally the 500 Chelsea boot’s appearance and durability appealed to farmers, builders, and manual laborers who worked on their feet all day. Over time, the 500 started to become a staple for adventurers, creatives, and fashionistas all over the world. Similarly, you should use a suede protector on your suede boots when they are looking worn, and before you wear them on a rainy or sunny day. Because of the full-grain leather, expect the Blundstone 550 to show all its natural markings and blemishes which, in our opinion, adds character to the material.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.
