Step into timeless, legendary design dating back to 1969 style and rugged durability with the Blundstone Original 500 Unisex Boots. These iconic, lightweight Chelsea boots effortlessly blend dependable outdoor performance with a sleek urban aesthetic, offering men and women long-lasting support and comfort for both demanding work environments and casual weekend wear. The upper is meticulously crafted from a single piece of premium, thick premium leather in a stout brown premium water-resistant leather finish that shields your feet from the elements, ensuring dryness during sudden downpours, while the unlined leather interior promotes optimal breathability and natural temperature regulation. A signature brown elastic side offers superb flexibility and enables a quick, pull-on fit, making them highly practical for busy lifestyles. Underfoot, the advanced SPS Max Comfort system works alongside a cushioned midsole and pioneering XRD Technology in the heel to absorb supreme shock, dramatically reducing joint fatigue when walking on hard pavement or standing for long hours. For ultimate structural integrity, an embedded steel shank maintains ideal torsional stability over rough terrain, while the heavy-duty TPU outsole ensures remarkable slip-resistance and grip, featuring a customisable removable footbed for a tailored fit. 

No matter where your day takes you, these boots deliver uncompromised reliability and style across generations.

Key Features: 

  • Lightweight: At 900g per boot, ensures all-day wearability without dragging down your stride. Perfect for extended wear across generations.
  • Stout Brown Premium Leather: Tough, water-resistant, and built to last. It repels the elements while beautifully moulding to your foot over time.
  • Brown Elastic Side: Delivers a classic Chelsea boot silhouette while providing flexible, easy pull-on convenience.
  • Pull Tabs: Featuring iconic branding for effortless utility.
  • 2.5mm Unlined Leather: Ultra-thick, to maximise natural breathability and flexible comfort. It pairs this raw, breathable protection with a reinforced heel and robust double-stitching around the elastic side panels for ultimate durability. 
  • Double Stitched: Integrates a reinforced heel panel and robust stitching around the elastic side panels to perfectly balance structural durability with flexible comfort.
  • Fastening Type: Features a classic pull-on configuration utilising iconic front and back pull tabs for rapid, hassle-free donning and doffing.
  • SPS Max Comfort System with Cushioned Midsole: Features advanced shock absorption to deliver outstanding impact protection and superior, all-day comfort.
  • Removable Footbeds with XRD Technology: Includes an extra set of insoles that contour to your foot for a precise, customisable fit. Enhanced with XRD protection to absorb up to 90% of heel-strike impact, delivering superior, all-day comfort.
  • Steel Shank: Ensures natural flex and torsional stability on uneven ground. 
  • TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Outsole: Heat-resistant, durable, and designed to resist wear and provide traction.
The footwear is designed to be non-marking due to the opaque TPU material used in the durable soles. However, testing the product on any surface of concern is recommended, as results may vary.
No, Blundstone half-sizes add width, not length. If you have wide feet, consider sizing up by a half size.
Leather will stretch slightly with wear across the top of the foot at its flex point. The leather will never stretch to provide additional length. When purchasing your new Blundstone footwear, aim for a snug fit, but ensure there is no discomfort once on. Boots should be neither too tight or too loose, as each can cause discomfort and possible damage to your feet.
