- Is the Blundstone 585 waterproof?
- No. The leather is water-resistant and handles light rain, but the boot is not sealed, so water can get in through the elastic side panels in heavy rain or deep puddles.
- How does the Blundstone 585 fit?
- Most buyers say it runs about a half size large and recommend sizing down. Half sizes only change the width, not the length, so a 9.5 and a 9 are the same length.
- What is the difference between the 585 and the 550?
- Both are classic Chelsea boots with the same last and sole. The 585 comes in rustic brown leather, while the 550 is the original brown leather; the fit and construction are otherwise the same.
- Can the Blundstone 585 be resoled?
- Yes. The outsole is stitched and can be replaced by a cobbler, which is one reason owners keep pairs for years.
- What is the heel and shaft height?
- The heel is 1.25 inches with a 0.75-inch platform, and the shaft measures 6 inches from the sole.
