The Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots rethink what you thought you knew about the style — first off, they’re built with water-resistant suede, rather than a suede leather that’s difficult to care for when inclement weather rolls around.

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.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on these Dependable Blundstone Boots Right Now Through Todd Snyder

Blundstone men's boots review.

I don’t know about you, but I frequently find myself reaching for men’s style essentials I can count on in the clutch, the sort of pieces I can reliably wear over and over — especially in casually rugged situations, as with my Blundstone boots. The same can be said for American designer Todd Snyder’s collections, and the two come together nicely today on this fine Tuesday.

As wearable with dark blue or mid-wash blue jeans as they are with the right pair of canvas work pants or even stretch five-pocket pants, my Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots might just be my go-to pair of footwear, the pair I wear more than any other.

If you feel the same way, and if your particular pair could use a refresh this fall, then you’re going to want to keep scrolling: The Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots are now up for a rather rare discount via Todd Snyder. It makes perfect sense that the famed American designer would stock and sell the brand, since he tends to lean on classic, heritage-minded designs with pedigree of their own.

That holds true for his collaborations with Timex and P.F. Flyers over the years, as well as his penchant for selling brands he knows and loves — like Blundstone, of course.
