Blundstone makes some pretty rugged boots. With premium soles, they’re boots that you can wear doing just about anything. Though if you’re looking for a series that is going to look a little bit more appropriate for a night out on the town in addition to looking the part for a day in the woods, you can opt for the Men’s Dress Chelsea Boots, Rustic Brown #1306. The dress boots are made slightly slimmer with a less beefy sole, giving them a dressier look overall with its chiseled toe. Don’t let the handsome appearance fool you however; the dress boots still offer all of the rugged specs of other Blundstone models like premium leather, a TPU outsole and a comfort shock absorption footbed, so you can enlist these boots for double duty for both work and play.
