There’s no bad time to buy a pair of Blundstone boots, but there are definitely better times. If we’re keeping score, early December—when the weather turns tricky and the socks turn thicker—would be the top slot, followed closely by “whenever they’re on sale.” Luck for you, right now checks both boxes, thanks to Blundstone’s Cyber Monday sale.
We’ll level with you: Blundstone is only marking down its signature boots by 15%, which isn’t exactly earth-shattering. But Blunnies almost never go on sale, so any discount is basically a minor miracle. Plus, there are precious few fashion-world-approved shoes that retail for anywhere around $200, let alone deliver the kind of long-term payoff the 500s do, even at full price.
In celebration of Cyber Week, all of Blundstone’s greatest hits—the iconic #500 Chelsea Boot, the insulated #566 Thermal Boot (one of our favorite winter boots), the sleek Dress Boot, and the rugged All-Terrain Boot—are all sitting at 15% off right now. Depending your vibe, there’s a pair in the lineup that’ll serve you years.
What unites ’em? Decades of field-tested, weather-fighting durability. Blundstone has been refining these slip-ons for over 55 years, which helps explain their cult status—and why they play nice with just about any pant you throw at them.
For proof, I asked GQ senior commerce editor Avidan Grossman, who’s sworn by Blundstones for years, wearing ‘em with tattered Carhartt double-knees, fraying Levi’s jeans, sawed-off Dickies work pants, and just about every trouser in between. “Blundstones are the ultimate shitty-weather boots,” Grossman says, touting their everyman appeal and an aura that sits squarely between Merrell’s Moab 3 and Diemme’s Roccia Vet on the crunchy-cool spectrum.
Looking to snag a replacement pair, or just needed a little persuading of their mettle? Now’s your best chance yet to buy one of menswear’s all-time wear-with-anything boots at a rare discount.
