Blundstone boots have long been a favourite amongst outdoorsy types. The Originals remain a classic for a reason, although we’ve seen some welcome new spins on the theme (I for one was very impressed with thevegan version, created in collaboration with Finisterre. But now there’s a new addition to the lineup that is seriously appealing.
Launched as part of the SS22 collection, the All Terrain boots look like your classic Blundstones, but there’s one key difference: these have Vibram Megagrip soles. Almost ubiquitous amongst today’sbest hiking boots for menandwomen, Vibram is known for delivering superb grip and traction on a range of surfaces.
This new sole design has a few more tricks up its sleeve (sock?). It’s heat-resistant to 300C and designed to maintain performance down to -15C, and it’s oil- and acid-resistant too. Finally, Blundstone has added a cushioned midsole and additional shock absorption tech in the heel, both geared towards better comfort on solid surfaces over long hours of wear.

Part of me expected Blundstone to have adjusted the lugs on these to something more aggressive, and more akin to what you’d find on a hiking boot. Instead, the tread is similar to the Originals. The brand says it’s self-cleaning, which essentially means mud won’t get clogged in the tread, which is probably a good thing if you’re going from countryside to city and don’t want to be trailing mud everywhere you go.
Blundstone All Terrain Boots are available to buy now, with an RRP of £195 / US $244.95. Check them out on theBlundstone UK websiteorBlundstone US website.
