If you appreciate luxury and a good story, you need to know about Blundstone footwear. Its boots have a rich heritage that begins in the 1870s, combining the best style and function for a truly outstanding product.

Founder John Blundstone arrived in Hobart, Australia, after a 93-day boat journey from England, importing, and then crafting boots from locally sourced leather. Designing footwear to be lived and worked in, the boots needed to be exceedingly well made to endure the beautiful but harsh Tasmanian landscape.

Since then, the Blundstone brand has expanded globally, leading the way in utilitarian fashion and setting the benchmark for safety footwear. Blundstone was famously contracted to manufacture boots for Australian troops during World War One, its boots highly coveted by the Americans, who sought to swap them for their benefit!

In the current day, Blundstone combines the best of quality, comfort, and modern design—their signature Chelsea-style and branded pull tabs continuing to define their trademark style. In six places worldwide, including Hobart, millions of Blundstone boots are produced yearly for men, women, and children — available in an array of luxurious, sturdy leather, nubuck, and suede.
