I love these boots, I once had a pair that I wore every day at work and outside of work too. They got so comfortable I did a 2-day 50 mile hike in them and had no issues whatsoever. I keep a pair of steel-toe capped blundstones for days when I might be dropping heavy things on my feet, but these are my go-to boots. Great review, cheers.
@@JamesProodian no, just as they were. To be fair I ended up losing the toenail on my little toe from both feet, but overall it was a great hike, I was sad when those boots finally ran out of steam.
I actually prefer them because they are a bit round. It's really a more casual workboot that looks stylish. Most chelsa boots are very narrow and more based on a dress shoes and that can work if thats what you are after, but a dress boot would look really weird in the woods or whatever.
Same here, got the 585. First time I saw it, its like a rainboot (hehe). I have not shown it yet to my son (18) and two daughters (20s) and I would expect they will have the same impression😁. However, I do appreciate the craftsmanship and could take the beating of everyday wear. And yes, there is a break in period of getting customized as I wear them. 44 EUR is my size and I need to wear thin socks where the added insole I use. Initially the top portion of my foot specially my right side, hurt in few days I wore these. The reason I finally decided to buy thin material sock. Now, I think I am enjoying them. Thank you for the review.
What are your thoughts on the 1306? They're the square toe boots. I wonder if that would be more to your liking than the 585. I am buying my first pair soon and i'm so torn over which ones to get, between these two.
I have owned 3 pairs of these over the years, they are fantastic except for 2 things, sizing is so off, and I had to do returns. The next big issue is that the soles eventually crack and cannot be repaired.
This video was helpful. I wear a 7 but always purchase 7.5 for more room and comfortability. I’m looking to purchase the #585 in Rustic Brown; should I purchase a 8 or stick to my original 7.5 size. Thanks
I am thinking of doing the same! Did you purchase them and if you did, which size did you go for? I want to size up so I can wear chunky woolly socks with them
I’m usually a 6.5 but my feet were so cramped inside with thick socks that I bought a 7. I usually end up being a half size bigger in Europe/austrailian shoes. The 7’s fit great!
So im a 6.5 in U.S womens. I ended up getting a size 4 which would be a size 7 in womens. and added an extra insole with the one that came with it and they fit great. The thing it the top of the back of the boot digs into the back of my leg a bit, but im hoping that goes away as i break them in.
I just bought these and they are killing my heels. Should I keep wearing them and try to break them in or get a half size bigger that’s a bit loose on my feet? They are very painful on my heels like I said.
@@technoiswatchingyou My entire heel was in a lot of pain to the point where I could not even wear them. Just gotta go through the pain and they will be very comfortable
Or you could buy the keen utility or keen Chelsea on my second pair most comfortable they fit one size down from your shoe size but comfortable right from the get go
Thanks for the good content. personally speaking, I think these boots they are particularly not ideal in the summer.. too hot too stuffy inside (probably I got one too small for me??), have not tried it in winter yet...
and for me they really need breaking in... the first few days they had nothing to do with comfort and bloody hard to put on, after wearing them for a week with pain in my feet they started to get a bit better... guess I have gotten a wrong size???
I could see that. I definitely veer away from them in the summer unless i am hiking or doing some sort of outside work. Drop a sub! Tons of videos coming!
@@KyleDakotaBush perfect I can't wait to see the follow up ...that pack looked amazing ...I wanted you to keep it ...Im eyeballing the Filson Mackinaw jacket ...such a nice piece ....cheers brother
Ive owned this boot for over 5 years, but with the chiseled toe version. I"ve never been able to figure out why some people keep it's same colour. I've been waxing it with nik wax & I heard i'm not to supposed to?
People say that... But its your boot do what you want! it does ruin the natural aesthetic of them! drop a sub for more content like this. One vid a week coming!
Canadian (Toronto) here. I think you are asking for trouble. For Toronto is OKish. I added the sheepskin footbed to my standard Blundstone which makes it equivalent to the winter version. It’s warm on your footbed but the upper are just leather lined and not insulated. So pretty much you are as warm as your socks. I would invest in a proper winter boots (with thinsulate) if I were you.
@@eatfugu I am Canadian so I just buy Kamik. Their price is very affordable. Plus they have models with “moderate insulation” so your feet wont be too hot once you get indoor or remain active outdoor. If you want “heavy duty” winter boots, I recommend Baffin. My friend use Baffin for his northern expedition trip and they are wonderful.
There’s no decent gyw boot with nice leather that’s this price lol. These are amazing for the price and despite not being gyw they are super durable and long lasting, and most importantly they are comfortable
What rubbish, water proof until you walk in wet grass, I've had blundstone boots for 50 plus years, sadly watched them go down hill, now just another boot made in Asia.

Wow! Did you put a different insole in them?

Exactly! They look good even with straight cut jeans!
Thanks!, I almost bought some online, but now I know about the sizing I'll hold off until I can try a pair on.
Had the same issue with one boot being bigger and put the insert in.
mine lasted for 10 years and finally the sole cracked. not hesitated to get another pair. love them
I have the BL063 dress boot for women. I am either buying the black 585 or getting them for Christmas.
Last comment killed me! thanks for the awesome review
Selvedge jeans model and brand!? 👏🏼
Thanks for the great review, thanks you for sharing from Australia 🇦🇺

Blunnies are great. Just got a pair, I used to have them when I was younger. Tasmanian pride helped, partially.
Just to clarify, these are not waterproof, if indeed you have the 585's. They resist water but are not waterproof. The 584 boots are waterproof.
Can spray waterproof spray🤷🏼♂️
@@kabilanthat won't waterproof them properly

I like them a lot. Kind of wish I would of gotten them! drop a sub! Bunch of content coming! One video at least a week for 2022!
Why the 585's and not the 550's? I just ordered some 550's from Amazon and waiting.

Did it go away? I just got mine and I'm having this problem.
Yeah it did
Excelente review! I would definitely give a 4.5 out of 5 for the exact same reason! That’s it! Thank you!

It looks great with Selvedge jeans.
What mink oil did you use? I want mine to look just like these

Quick update. They are very comfortable now! Just keep wearing them. It’ll be a very painful three weeks or so but it’ll be worth it!
@@rzlakerkid mate, listen, on the start do you have a problem when top of Blundstones pressuring on your instep?
@@technoiswatchingyou My entire heel was in a lot of pain to the point where I could not even wear them. Just gotta go through the pain and they will be very comfortable
@@rzlakerkid will try, man. I have a pair of 1911 suede Blundstones and this boots comfy from start. But new 585 is a pain.
Or you could buy the keen utility or keen Chelsea on my second pair most comfortable they fit one size down from your shoe size but comfortable right from the get go
Pretty sure your pair is only water resistant. Vs the thermal series which are advertised as fully waterproof. They are $239 or something
Thanks for the good content.

buddy its killing me ...did you keep that sweet leather Filson pack ....I was looking at the Filson Dryden and your review came
up ....great work
Hey peter! I did! I turned out to absolutely love it. I’ll be doing a real review on it soon!

I like Redbacks
Great review...Im from Australia...do u know u can get 585s in a chisel toe so u dont feel like a clown ...😃enjoy ur boots😎
will definitely be getting the chisel toe on the next round thanks for the info
Are they good for winter? Like not goin thru snow but just walking the doggo and being out in the yard for long durations. I live in Sask Canada btw
I would say they are perfect for that. They are to me are almost made for this sort of use. They are easy to throw on, water proof, and comfy!

Love my 585's. 🤷♂️
Sorry chisel toe in this srub leather with chisel toe is the 1306..cheers from OZ😎
what did you treat them with to darken up the leather
Mink oil! Drop a sub for more video!
I bought one today! Can’t wait to wear it🥰
What do you think of them now 2 years later?
Do you know the difference between these and the 550s?
Been shopping but not hyped about trying to get right size
I personally do not, they seem to look pretty similar. I know that these have an extra stitch for support
@@KyleDakotaBush found out after I posted that it is the color way
No other difference from what I found online
Thanks for the response
I agree with you 👍 great boots.
Have those very boots but I cannot believe you put them on without brushing off your socks. That would not work in my mess of a world. LOL!
what jeans are you wearing in the review? Thanks!
Imogiene and Willie!
Good review. I agree with the round top not being as desirable angle from the top down.
Thanks for the comment!
when you put that extra insert in only one shoe one foot is higher than the other? Isn't that a problem for your hip?
No, if the foot is shorter then the leg is already shorter. Using the insole would make the hips level.
Why is the leather so discolored?
Buy the vibram sole all terrain.
Try RM Williams, Rossi, Redback and Mongrol for aussie made boots unlike Blundstone
Rossi not anymore made in australia
The music volume is too loud when you’re speaking
can anyone tell me that how to get these shoes in india
Please tell..how to get in india
That shirt though
Which one?
@@KyleDakotaBush lol the only one
In israel everybody wears them... in kibbutzes, cities, schools, religious or not, worker or for just for fashion :3
THIS IS NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL. DO YOUR RESEARCH PFFT
He literally stands in water in the video.
@@pemulis808 its water resistance not proof
@@pemulis808 its water resistant not proof
thank you...
If they add a goodyear welt and some nicer leather then they’ll be worth the price.
There’s no decent gyw boot with nice leather that’s this price lol. These are amazing for the price and despite not being gyw they are super durable and long lasting, and most importantly they are comfortable
If these are 585 they are nubuck leather not full grain
👍👍👍❤
$200 for work boots is pretty reasonable lol
I really don't think these are any more versatile than iron rangers. These are a touch to rugged for anything approaching formal.
You seriously need to review Australian made Redback boots. You will change your mind immediately.
My redback boots lasted just outside of the 6 month warranty period and then separated from the bottom. I was pissed, won't ever buy redback again.
Круто
what?? Redback is way better no doubt
585 is not full grain, 550 is full grain
Those are definetly not full grain leather
these are not full grain, its mottled nubuck. so not as sturdy
What rubbish, water proof until you walk in wet grass, I've had blundstone boots for 50 plus years, sadly watched them go down hill,
now just another boot made in Asia.
