Blundstone #1469 Classic Chelsea Boots in Steel Gray, $172 (was $230) at Blundstone
Founded in 1870, Blundstone is an Australian icon, and its Chelsea boots are enduringly successful. Those partial to a rugged, outdoorsy look will appreciate the #1469 style. It’s the Classic Chelsea boot in Steel Gray, cut from soft water-resistant leather with a worn-in look. This colorway falls somewhere between gray and brown, making it a good option to wear with different pants and even shorts. Originally $230, it’s a great deal at $172.
Shoppers called the #1469 boot “extremely versatile,” adding that it can be “worn casually for everyday activities to hiking on the mountains.” Another appreciated that “they look great, are waterproof, and durable”
Blundstone #2246 Classic Chelsea Boots in Navy, $172 (was $230) at Blundstone
The #2246 style is the Classic Chelsea in navy, a dressier style (at least as far as Blundstone goes). It’s made from the same soft leather as the #1469 and was designed to have a short break-in period. Both styles have heeled outsoles made from TPU, a synthetic rubber material. This type of sole is grippy and shock-absorbing for those long days on the go. They’re not rain boots, but they can handle a sudden shower with confidence.
Both styles have Blundstone’s distinctive double pull tab on the front and rear, making them easier to slip on. In terms of sizing, the boots are available in US men’s sizes between 4 and 14, including half sizes.
Blundstone #2144 Active Chelsea Boots in Rustic Brown, $172 (was $230) at Blundstone
The #2144 is a good option for those seeking a leaner, more outdoor-ready boot. The leather is in the brand's Rustic Brown color and has a slimmer sole and a shorter heel, so they’re closer to a hiking boot than the hybrid dress-work boot look of the Classic Chelsea. The sole also extends to the front of the boot, creating a small bumper that protects your toes while walking. Otherwise, this style has the same soft leather and dual pull tab as the Classic Chelsea. Shoppers also appreciated the versatility of these boots, with one calling them a “great all-around shoe for a light hike to [a night] out on the town”
Blundstone #2209 Original Chelsea Boots in Steel Gray/Blue, $157 (was $210) at Blundstone
If wet weather is less of an issue, the #2209 Chelsea boot is cut from supple suede instead of leather, adding comfort and a pleasant hand feel. The tonal gusset is swapped out with light blue goring for a subtle pop of color. Typically $210, the suede version of this boot is discounted to just $157. Though they won’t have the same wet-weather performance as the leather versions, the suede is waxed to add some protection against moisture.
