Unlike most shoes, the more wear your boots show, the better. This is a concept well understood by the Tasmanian footwear brand Blundstone. In their first global campaign, Blundstone is exploring your well-worn boots and giving them new meaning. Titled “Well Worn,” this campaign tells the stories of unique wearers whose boots hold various stories about their journeys and experiences. Using multiple figures from various walks of life and backgrounds, Blundstone highlights how despite frequent usage and damage, their boots remain sturdy and reliable. With various boot styles and options, including their Heritage collection with Goodyear welt construction, there’s no doubt about Blundstone’s quality and craftsmanship.

First established in 1870, Blundstone knows what it takes to make well-crafted boots that last. The company has also made waves for its no-fluff boots, which are considered some of the toughest footwearfor work in the industry. Not sacrificing style, Blundstone’s Chelsea boots have frequently been regarded as some of the best from the company due to their mix of style and quality. Lauded as “The Everywhere Boot” by the Time 100 list of Most Influential Companies in 2024, the Blundstone boots have a significant standard for creating a boot that can withstand almost anything. Wear them for errands or work; you can’t go wrong with these all-terrain boots. As their “Well Worn” campaign details, the more scuffs and marks your boots show, the more history you’ll be able to tell. Part of the campaign includes unveiling their Well Worn site, where users can see first-hand the stories of notable users and how their Blundstone boots have been part of their journeys.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
