Best praise vs top criticism for Blundstone Classic 550 Chelsea Boot
“Toast had a flash sale last weekend to clear out their winter stock. I picked up a back up pair of the charcoal loopback jersey wide leg joggers that I first bought a few months ago and have worn almost non stop since: https://preview.redd.it/2ab82m3ri0se1.jpeg?width=1553&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04b84864abdcbdaea747edba1924aa88a1c3c02d A tasty 60% off didn't hurt, but these are so ideal for mooching round the house that I would have bought them anyway. Also picked up some [Blundstone Classics in Forest](https://www.blundstone.co.uk/products/blundstone-2442-forest-nubuck) at a more modest discount, but with Blundstones you're never going to find big savings. I prefer the Classics to the Originals because they fit my wide feet better, and I like my footwear lined, but they seem to be harder to find. Not a colour I would have sought out, but the more I thought about it I realised they go well with my denim/khaki/beige pants better than a more traditional brown or black.”
“Same, I had to “break in” my leather Blundstones, but it was mainly the upper leather portion over the top of my foot was a little tight and just needed to stretch out. Doc Martens, however, NEVER broke in for me and were miserable to wear right away and always.”
