Description
While most boots have a sleek upper, both the Blundstone 550 and 585 have a wide, rounded toe, wide enough to get your foot in without using force or a shoehorn. 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. 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. I have some alternatives below that solve these issues, but there’s a big caveat: Blundstone boots have a specific shape to them that I haven’t found elsewhere. They look pretty cool, and they’re trendy and popular. 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.
I've worn my Blundstone Thermal boots through two winter seasons in NYC, and I love them more every time I put them on.Cemented construction, mold-injection TPU sole, genuine leather, fiber board midsole—this boot has no strengths other than its style. 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. I just wish the lining went through the entire boot, because that would definitely add a durability boost. Sole Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave it to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight or heaters. Once dry, apply a water and stain repellent spray on the shoe.
These systems also help to encourage upstream suppliers to improve their own environmental practices. The 550 features Blundstone’s Walnut Brown leather, which is a genuine leather. Genuine leather is a disappointment in a boot at this price. Also, with a Goodyear welt, you get a lot more water resistance, and you have the option to resole the boot in a few years time when the heel eventually wears down. 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 don’t think the Blundstone 550 is a bad boot. If you choose to buy them, I’m sure you’ll still get a year or two of hard wearing out of them.

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 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. 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.
