Blundstone Unisex Dress Series

They fit, they last, always look good

These are very handsome boots and really easily compliment any smart attire. These fit quite differently to regular blundstones, namely they are more narrow, even the half width(wide) is more narrow than a normal whole size blunnie’s.
They are not as comfortable,when you compound the narrow last and the hard underfoot lasting board compared to the 550 blunnie or the redback.
It rate them a solid 7 for comfort, but with boots like these they tend to fill a niche that most other boots really can’t fill and for that I can’t knock them, that niche being easy to slip on and very complimentary style.
So to liken it to cars, this is very much like a roadster, they look great, they make you feel better about yourself, and maybe just sometimes that’s all that matters.

I bought these boots as a present for my husband. He has bought these boots before so I knew he would like the gift. They’re very sturdy, provide good support and they’re very comfortable he says. The measurements in the site are a little confusing but I just had to make the conversion from Australian size to US size.

Muy cómodas desde la primer puesta. Tienen tracción decente, por si llueve o pasas por un camino de tierra. Realmente son casuales pensadas para la ciudad, pero aguantan un senderismo ligero, aunque no sustituyen unas botas de hiking.

I have been wearing Blundstone boots for over four years, and I have only good things to say about them from day one. These boots are so comfortable that I just bought my fourth pair. I own the #500, #550, #1306, and #1308, and I like that they don’t need time to break them in. They are suitable for different types of work conditions and daily wear.
The dress-style boots models (#062, #063, #1306, #1308) are more stylish than the original Blundstone boot, no matter the model or color, but all of them look good with jeans, chinos, or khakis.
The last pair I bought was the #1308, but I was confused about the sizing because I usually get the 11.5 Women (US)/9.5 Men (US), but it was advertised as 9.5 Women/9.5 Men.
After searching for information on the different sizing options, I ordered the boots and waited to see what I would get. In the end, I received an 8.5 (AU) Australian size, the equivalent of an 11.5W/9.5M US size.

I typically wear an 8.5E (wide) and the 9M fits very comfortably with boot socks. I bought these boots to wear in Kabul, Afghanistan. I wear business casual clothing to meetings around the city and these hold up to the gravel and in-construction roads around town without looking out of place with slacks. I wanted to find boots that could take a beating and still look dressy enough. Most of the guys here are in trail shoes or boots, which look silly with a suit and tie. These fit the bill, especially compared to the other, bulkier Blundstone models. They’re not very slim, but they don’t look as bulky as most other work boots either. The top part of the boots are slim enough to fit under pants, but definitely not tight around my ankles.

The looped tabs make them very easy to don and doff, which is particularly useful in a country where you have to take your shoes off indoors and for meals. The leather is dark, but still clearly brown. The leather is smooth and soft. Not super smooth enough to pick up a shine (with Alden Fine Boot Cream), but it’s held up well against scuffs and scratches.

So far, the insole is comfortable, but it is removable in case you want to use your own insoles. The sole is robust and hasn’t worn down very quickly. The treads have good grip: I haven’t yet slipped while jumping over and around potholes.

I’m very pleased with this purchase. They aren’t too expensive and fit my requirements: robust and dressy enough.
