Blundstone Style 550 Walnut Brown Boots with Shoe Polishing Brush

Product Information

There’s no difference between the Classic 550 and the Super 550 other than the name. So you don’t need to go hunting a super version down like I did for 10 minutes. Things to Consider Before Buying Blundstone 550 Boots Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather. I'm well into my second season of almost exclusively wearing Blundstone boots through fall, winter, and spring, often trudging upwards of five miles through horrendous city sludge and worse, and they continue to show no sign of letting up: neither a single stitch loose nor a leak sprung. I've taken boots twice their price into their final throes by this point, but I'll make no mistakes going forward. The next pair of boots I buy, whenever this one gives up its ghost, is going to be Blundstone, and I might just go ahead and put my money on the pair after that, too. One of the best-selling Blundstone boots, the 500 design is made from quality premium leather. A classic pull-on Chelsea boot with elastic side panels to make this effortless. These lightweight boots have PU/TPU rubber outsole with removable insoles. Available in Stout Brown leather.

That said, thousands of people have given their Blundstone 550 boots a 5-star rating and absolutely love them. 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.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. 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.

I also like that the footbed is removable so you can add your own custom insert if you struggle with foot fatigue or any sort of pain. 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. Dampen a suede brush with water and put a small amount of suede and leather cleaner on it and clean the shoe, as detailed above in the ‘Cleaning Leather’ section. 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. If you know the Australian brand Blundstone then you know about “The Original” Blundstone 500 boot that is as versatile as it is aesthetically pleasing. For over 50 years not much has changed when it comes to this boot because the initial design and technology continues to prove itself over and over to be a cornerstone for the brand.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. By using Blundstone’s renovating cream, apply a small amount to a polishing cloth or brush. Using circular motions, rub the cloth or brush against the boot. 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. 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 First, remove any large pieces of dirt from the soles of your boots. Then, using a stiff nylon brush, clean between the tread to remove any more excess dirt. If you are having trouble getting rid of all of the dirt, soak your book in a shallow container of warm water for about two hours, and then use your nylon brush to remove the dirt.
