Blundstone 1609 – Antique Brown, Worn-In from Day One

The Blundstone 1609 has that rare, ready-made character - like you’ve owned it for years, in the best possible way. Crafted from premium water-resistant leather in a rich antique brown, the upper carries natural highs and lows through the toe and vamp, giving it depth, warmth and a lived-in feel straight out of the box.

The silhouette is classic Chelsea - clean, unfussy, endlessly wearable, but softened just enough to feel relaxed rather than rigid. It’s the kind of boot that works just as well with denim as it does dressed up a notch.

Underfoot, it keeps things easy with Blundstone’s signature comfort - lightweight, cushioned and built for all-day wear.

Finished with elastic sides and pull tabs, the 1609 is effortless to slip on and hard to take off. Laid-back, full of character and made to be worn on repeat - this is everyday done properly.

Shoes must be returned within 30 days of purchase, unworn or in their original condition. Sale can be exchanged/store credit only.
