Blundstone

Ankle Boot - Men's

Great boot, but "Tan" is more like Brown

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

This promises to be a great boot, though quite different from a normal Blundstone. The sole and heel are definitely stiffer, not as soft as a normal Blundstone. No one would really confuse these with actual dress boots, but compared to ither Blundstones, they are definitely dressier. The leather is strong and supple, but may take a little more breaking in than normal for this brand. The only reason I took off a star is the color. When you call something Tan, one would expect a pretty light color. These aren't dark, but definitely aren't Tan. I'd call them more a Medium Brown. I guess I thought the photos were a bit dark, but the actual boots are a little darker than the photos. Not a huge deal, but I think these would really look amazing in a true Tan or Camel color, especially once broken in. Blundstone, if you're reading this, please release this boot in a true light Tan color.
