Filson x Blundstone Chelsea boots review.

Out of all the rugged style essentials I treasure the most in the world of menswear, it all starts for me from the ground up with a pair of the best boots for men. Well, most days and most seasons, at least. Building your outfit around the right footwear can go a long way toward properly outfitting seasonal adventures and style situations aplenty, and that’s where I’ve long trusted my Blundstone boots, particularly in the brisk climes of fall and winter.

Blundstone men’s boots are famously durable, first built in Australia well over a century ago and featuring waterproof construction, hard-wearing leather and famously durable rubber outsoles. They’re not unlike another purpose-built company, the great folks at Pacific Northwest outfitters Filson, another brand I treasure and wear frequently (as you well know if you follow me on Instagram).

Filson x Blundstone Chelsea boots review.

Two companies born of excursions far afield, now coming together as one: Yes, you read that right. Filson x Blundstone debuted earlier this fall, the first-ever boot collaboration between the two hard-working companies (a collaboration I covered over at Maxim.com), and now, you can find the Filson x Blundstone Chelsea Boots at your favorite online retailer, Huckberry. Talk about a partnership and a fitting pair of boots worth celebrating ahead of the holiday season, ehh?

Some fashion collaborations tend to make perfect sense on paper when you really think about it, and given the serious penchant both of these brands have for hard-wearing outdoor gear, well, this one surely reads as a winner in my book. There’s much to love about the latest run of the Filson x Blundstone Chelsea Boots (the #2535 model, in fact), starting with classic hallmarks of sturdy Blundstone construction, like the brand’s new and newly revamped  Avalon Gecko TPU outsole design beneath a water-resistant waxed suede upper.

That outsole should provide traction and a smooth ride underfoot as you wear the #2535 Filson x Blundstone Chelsea Boots, while Filson-approved touches like Blaze Orange elastic side gores and a Blaze Orange, co-branded footbed speak stylishly to the collaborative effort.

Huckberry, for its part, calls both iconic brands “titans of gear” and notes that Filson x Blundstone Chelsea Boots represent “the sum of Filson’s field-tested DNA and Blundstone’s century-plus of bootmaking grit.”

It’s mighty hard to argue with that sentiment, whether worn with rolled light wash denim and a casually cool henley or paired with a waxed field jacket and cotton-canvas work pants when duty calls in the great outdoors. My friends, you assuredly can’t go wrong when you step into a pair of the Filson x Blundstone Chelsea Boots this season.

Best Chelsea boots for men.

It pays off to have a trusted stable of sturdy, dependable men’s style essentials close at hand, no matter the season. That certainly holds true in your footwear rotation, particularly when stepping ever-so-slightly from late winter into early (early) spring. And friends, I have just the pair of boots to upgrade your menswear stable right now — at a discount, no less, and from one of the best online menswear shops for guys.

The focus today, though? That’d be the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots, a hard-wearing set of workwear-inspired Chelsea boots that manage to be both rugged and refined at the same time. In my experience, those are the best kinds of pieces to have in your transitional style wardrobe, are they not?

Right now, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots are marked down about 15 percent, so while the savings aren’t as major as what you might find from, say, the Huckberry Annual Sale, they’re still worth taking a look if you need a new set of durable Chelsea boots.

The key is the Goodyear welted Vibram Sport 2060 outsole, which provides superior traction and reliably rugged performance — unlike some other pairs of Chelsea boots, which typically lean more sleek and dressy.

The handsome bovine leather upper will develop its own patina over time — and quite stylishly, in my personal experience with Huckberry boots — while the bovine leather lining molds to your foot over time.

Plus, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots come with a Morflex outsole for added comfort, support and traction. And in a stylish medium-brown shade, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots should pair up fashionably with everything from olive chinos to light wash jeans to black denim.

They also boast a shock-absorbent, extremely cushioned outsole, the kind that I love for its rebound, support and grip. The Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots come in a wear-with-practically-anything shade of dark tan Sepia, while front and back pull tabs make for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience.

See Now, Buy Now: The Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots are the Rugged Fall Boots You Need Now

Best Chelsea boots for men

As we step ever more swiftly into fall, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind as you survey the landscape of the best fall style essentials. Chief among them, if you ask me, might be a proper pair of boots for all situations rugged, be it fall weekend cabin getaways, day trips, leisurely strolls or a wide range of pursuits (tailgating or Oktoberfest beers, anyone?).

All of that means you need a pair of boots you can count on, a pair that delivers versatility plus reliable comfort and performance — a pair of boots like the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots, as dependable a pair as any on the market.

The famed Texas brand, best known for its classic Cowboy boots and Western boots in all forms, also makes a heck of a pair of the best Chelsea boots, one that uses finely crafted leather and highly durable materials along the way. The difference is one you can see and feel, and it’s largely thanks to the rugged water-resistant cowhide leather in a rich Cognac color, one nicely complemented by weatherproof seams.

Tecovas men's boots review

A Vibram Cristy outsole delivers superior comfort, grip and even toughness, and it doesn’t hurt that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots toe the line nicely in terms of both style and performance. The shape of the toe box is sleek enough to wear with black or light wash jeans (or even dark tan chinos), yet the build of these boots means you can wear ’em reliably for workwear situations, too.

Tecovas men's Chelsea boots review.

The cushioned insole of the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots adds even more comfort, and in my experience, I’ve found that Vibram outsoles are springy and strong yet ultra-supple for all-day wear. That touch alone gives the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots an edge above the rest of the competition, and here’s something even better.

You see, no matter which of the two leather options you select (particularly the Cognac leather seen here), well, I’d wager that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots are only going to get better with more consistent wear.

Team ’em with your favorite blue jeans and a waxed trucker jacket, style ’em with tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt for high-low style, or opt into them as a durable choice with black selvedge jeans and a grey henley. There’s little that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots can’t do, and you’re about to find that out the right way this fall — happy shopping, my friends.

Best suede Chelsea boots for men.

When an already-great silhouette gets top-tier treatment from one of the country’s best designers, great things are bound to happen when it comes to your wardrobe of fall menswear essentials.

Those chukka boots are already some of the best men’s boots out there, and the Nomad line just got even better, if you ask me. All of the hallmarks of classic men’s Chelsea boots are present, including elastic side panels and a streamlined toe shape that makes it both refined and yet pleasingly casual.

Todd Snyder Nomad Chelsea Boots.

Would you expect anything less from a designer known as much for expertly faded denim as for luxe suiting? The Todd Snyder Nomad Chelsea Boots are the best of both worlds, using a handsome suede upper atop a more casual crepe rubber outsole for a high-low balance.

Those details make your new favorite Chelsea boots as wearable with Todd Snyder selvedge denim as with olive chinos, a navy blazer and a chambray shirt (to name but one reliable everyday pairing).

And the details are also accounted for accordingly when it comes to the Todd Snyder Nomad Chelsea Boots, including Todd Snyder branded back pull tabs. As the company itself notes, “it’s hard to think of a shoe more versatile than the Chelsea boot,” and that also holds true given the duo of versatile color options in which you can snag these highly wearable fall boots for men.

Huckberry Chelsea boots review.

When I’m on the hunt for early fall menswear essentials, I tend to stick with what I know, or with brands and styles I can trust — that includes rugged leather Chelsea boots, of course, and staple pieces like expertly cut denim and my favorite henley.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots, part of the in-house lineup of best-selling menswear at Huckberry — a site also known for its dependable trucker jackets and stylish blue jeans — just get the job done. That’s likely an understatement, since they take the time-honored Chelsea boot and improve upon it in rugged fashion.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots start with a tumbled, broken-in leather upper for comfort right out of the box, and then Huckberry adds an extra reinforced panel for even greater toughness and durability.

To really double down on workwear-ready toughness, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots use a chunky, grippy and yet lightweight Meramec PU outsole with a wedge build for a more casually rugged look. Plus, your new favorite Chelsea boots boast a full leather lining for extreme comfort right out of the box — at least, that’s true in my experience with Huckberry boots.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are also fashioned with recraftable welt construction, so you can wear ’em for days, weeks and months on end this season (and on into the next one).

Helpfully, there are a range of sizes available in both a laidback Mojave Suede and a rich, gets-better-with-age Hickory leather — when it comes to finding your new favorite boots for fall, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are a strong contender, and they’re up for grabs right now.

Best leather Chelsea boots for men.

The handsome full-grain Balthazar leather should break in wonderfully over time, with a rich texture that’ll develop patina the more you wear them. And the YKK side zipper gives the HELM Pablo Boots a distinctive, slightly edgy touch (think of the zip boots worn by rock n’roll guitarists, yet imagine these as being dressier and more heritage-minded).

Shop now at HELM Boots

Either way, the HELM Pablo Boots are also finished off with the Austin-based company’s distinctive touches, like a white contrast midsole, hard-working Blake stitch construction. They’re also fully leather-lined, and the poured rubber insert should provide a nice mix of grip and comfort. Crucially, the HELM Pablo Boots are now on sale for under $250, and for a pair of boots you can wear with blue jeans on the weekend or comfortable stretch chinos back at the office, that’s a downright steal.
