Travel + Leisure featured the Blundstone 150th anniversary boots this week. The article talks about how the company was founded and over the years became footwear that could "withstand cobbled city streets, rugged farmland, and dance and factory floors," as Blundstone CEO Steve Gunn mentions in the article. "150 years later, the commitment to durability, quality, and innovation has not wavered."
From World Wars to Mount Everest, Blundstone has stood the test of various times, for example - "In the late 1800s, we were one of 350 cobblers in Tasmania. In 2020, we are the only one remaining."

We acknowledge that these past weeks have been a time of reflection for us at Blundstone.
The death of George Floyd and the following events have laid bare the continued issues of racism and injustice that occur in the world which we do not and will not sanction.
At Blundstone our belief is that all people are entitled to the same treatment and protection, the same opportunities in life and the same core human rights. This is more than a belief; it is a responsibility.
We take responsibility for the workplaces and cultures we create. We take responsibility for our own actions and for the actions of partners taken on our behalf. We support organizations committed to tackle discrimination and provide opportunities for all.
We are by no means perfect and we must make every step better than our last, for our communities today and tomorrow. -

Great article from Sam Schube at GQ Magazine who features the Blundstone 500's in "The Best All-Weather Boot Is Beloved by Australian Farmers—and Scruffy Art Kids" - which looks at how the Blundstone 500's made it from Australia to New York City back in his college days and how they've become more popular in the US over recent years. Making the move from ranchers to painters, "Blundstones fit nicely into the broader, increasingly unhinged menswear landscape."
The article talks about the Blundstone 500, in walnut-brown and coal-black, their comfort and how they can be worn "through rain, snow, sleet, and a half-dozen trips to the pretend-outdoors of upstate New York."
