Blundstone women: Chelsea boots and Tasmanian clogs
The Blundstone women's page features boots from the Tasmanian brand: Chelsea Original and Classic, Dress Chelsea for a smarter look, Original High Top, and Original and Aerocork clogs. These are sturdy shoes that slip on without laces and are suited for both town and country.
Blundstone, a story born in Tasmania
The story of Blundstone begins in 1870 in Hobart, Tasmania, when John Blundstone started making shoes suited to the harsh conditions of the colony. Boots for farmers, riders, and workers, designed to last.
Today, the brand is best known for its rubber and leather Chelsea boot.
The Chelsea boot
The Chelsea boot is recognizable by its elastic sides and pull tab at the back: it slips on and off without laces. At Blundstone, it stands on a sturdy sole that withstands rain and rough paths.
Original and Classic
The Original and Classic are the go-to models, made of leather, featuring the brand's iconic sole. They can be worn every day, from autumn to spring.
Dress Chelsea
The Dress Chelsea features a slimmer shape and a more subtle sole, for a dressier look with tailored trousers or a dress.
Original High Top
The High Top rises higher on the ankle, offering more protection and support.
The Blundstone clogs
The Original and Aerocork clogs apply the brand's craftsmanship to an open-back shoe, easy to slip on, for home, the garden, or the city.
Which model to choose?
- Original or Classic: the everyday Chelsea.
- Dress Chelsea: for a more sophisticated outfit.
- High Top: for more support.
- Clog: to slip on in one go.
How to wear Blundstone?
With straight jeans and a knitted jumper, with a midi dress and tights, with cuffed wide trousers: the Chelsea adapts to all autumn and winter outfits. Its simple design transcends trends.
Choosing your size
Blundstone often uses British sizes, and the models tend to run large. Check the size guide and try them on with thick socks if you plan to wear them in winter.
Maintaining your Blundstone
Brush off mud, wipe the leather with a damp cloth, and regularly nourish it with cream or balm. A waterproofing spray extends protection against rain.
