Founded in Tasmania, Australia, in 1870, Blundstone began by creating rugged, fit-for-purpose footwear for workers and soldiers. Acquired by the Cuthbertson family in 1932, who have retained ownership since, the brand has maintained its headquarters in Tasmania while evolving into a global name. Its identity is cemented by the iconic #500, a pull-on, elastic-sided Chelsea boot first released in the 1960s that epitomizes the brand’s no-nonsense, durable, and comfortable approach. Originally conceived for the factory floor and farm, the boots’ clean lines and resilience have found a much broader audience.
