Fall is just around the corner, and ManTripping gives some advice on how to get back into that autumnal wardrobe mindset in an article titled "Fall Fashion Tips For Men To Stay Comfortable and Look Good."

Graeme Campbell at High Snobiety interviewed CEO Steve Gunn in today's article titled "How the Ordinary Blundstone 500 Became Fashion’s Coolest Boot."

Starting off with how it made its move from Australian laborers to trendy neighborhoods such as New York’s SoHo, Berlin’s Kreuzberg, and London’s Shoreditch, fashion combined with comfort and durability seems to be the right mix historically as well as for today, with a wider audience discovering Blundstone. 

The interview looks at how these classic Chelsea Boots became popular with a young audience, and 50 years of the Blundstone 500 boots in particular. In fact "Whatever the 500 is paired with, it adds a hint of ruggedness and classic style that, in my opinion, can only enhance the overall outfit."

Clay Abney from popular mens magazine, The Manual, tooks a look at some of "The Best Travel Shoes for the Globe-Trotting Guy" this past week.  While we all know packing the right footwear can make or break a trip, they often need to cover various types of weather, and can take up a lot of suitcase space - so its a choice you have to be careful about.

The article features the Blundstone 550 (BL550) for men, and notes how they "may be the original perfect travel shoe." "The rugged sole is paired with a waterproof, leather upper and a strategically placed elastic patch creates a slipper like feel that will almost make you wonder if you’re wearing shoes at all"

GQ recently featured Blundstone 990's - which are available for women and men - noting that "Serious weather calls for serious Blundstones" in an article titled "The Blundstone 990 Is the Boot You Need to Survive the Coming Winter Apocalypse" - and while we're not sure about the apocalypse part, the article notes that the Blundstone Work Boots are "toastier than you’d expect, comfier than your bedroom slippers, convenient to take on and off," and "slip seamlessly into virtually any fit with John C. Reilly–level range."

However, whatever the weather may be, whether record heat in Australia or cold days in the Midwest US, these all-condition boots are "something tougher, sturdier, and altogether badder" than your average Blundstone's.

From steel toes and stronger outsoles, these boots were made for... everything.
