When it comes to boots, there’s seldom one that’s more classic and timeless than the Chelsea Boot. Built with either a slimmer sole or chunky tread, the Chelsea boot is a staple thanks to its versatility and ability to wear in almost any season. For brands like Blundstone, the Chelsea boot also offers the opportunity to refine a simple silhouette into a durable, high-quality shoe that doesn’t wear out easily. Although Blundstone’s Chelsea boot is timeless enough to withstand any trend or season, the brand has turned to Filson to refine the style further. Just as with their collaboration with L.L.Bean a few years back, this new Chelsea boot is more than just another co-branding opportunity; it’s an improvement on a staple shoe by two brands dedicated to quality and durability.
Blundstone x Filson’s Chelsea boot brings together durability and style
Improving on the Chelsea boot, Blundstone and Filson have released a new iteration of the silhouette that remixes three of Blundstone’s existing boots. Differentiated by leather type, the Chelsea boot is upgraded with a new ultra-durable sole: the Avalon Gecko TPU. Blundstone has created this outsole to improve the boot’s durability and grip. Additionally, co-branded footbed technology has been added to enhance comfort. Filson’s signature “Blaze Orange” can be seen on the inside of the boot, as well as on the elastic side panels. For the first time in Blundstone’s history, these boots are made with co-branded leather pull tabs, which are durable and patina over time. The shoes will arrive on October 23 for $240 and will be available via Filson, Blundstone, and select retailers.
