There’s no bad time to buy a pair of Blundstone boots, but there are definitely better times to buy ‘em. If we were to rank said times, the beginning of December—when the weather gets a bit wonky and the socks get a bit thicker—would occupy the top spot, promptly followed by “whenever they’re on sale.” Well, folks, that time is now, on both accounts: thanks to Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale, the Australian brand’s hero product happens to be on a rare 10% discount—and not a week into December, to boot.
We’ll level with you: the savings aren’t staggering. But considering how infrequently Blundstone boots go on sale, any time you can finagle a small deal on them it’s actually kind of a big deal by default. After all, there are precious few fashion-world-approved shoes that retail for anywhere around $200, let alone deliver the kind of return the 500s do at full-price.
In celebration of Cyber Week, the fine folks at Huckberry have knocked about $20 off the brand’s downright iconic 500 and 510 Chelsea boots—both crafted from Blundstone’s signature weatherproof oiled leather—along with a cool $40 off the slightly more brolic 550.
Each of the rugged Tasmanian slip-ons boast 55 years of field-tested weather-busting prowess (which helps explain how they secured the honorific here), and have played nice with every type of pants thrown their way over the course of those five-plus decades.
For proof, I asked GQ senior commerce editor Avidan Grossman, who’s sworn by Blundstones for years, wearing ‘em with tattered Carhartt double-knees, fraying Levi’s jeans, sawed-off Dickies work pants, and just about every trouser in between. “Blundstones are the ultimate shitty-weather boots,” Grossman says, touting their everyman appeal and an aura that sits squarely between Merrell’s Moab 3 and Diemme’s Roccia Vet on the crunchy-cool spectrum.
Looking to snag a replacement pair, or just needed a little persuading of their mettle? Now’s your best chance yet to buy one of menswear’s all-time wear-with-anything boots at a rare discount. Head on over to Huckberry to check out the full assortment.
Cyber Monday traditionally happens the Monday after Black Friday. (That’s today, December 2nd, for those keeping track at home.) That doesn’t mean stores will wait until then to launch their sales, but if one of your preferred retailers hasn’t gotten active by Black Friday, it’s worth checking in after the weekend.
What Should I Buy at Huckberry?
For a product to wind up on Huckberry’s digital shelves, it has to be vetted, sweated in, and otherwise rigorously tested. Which mean’s the retailer’s shoe selection is one of the most considered around—whether you’re looking for unusually cushy loafers, burly trail-runners, or vacation-ready huaraches—and its jackets, shirts, and jeans are especially elite.
Does Huckberry Have a Cyber Monday Sale?
Yes, Huckberry is having a Cyber Monday sale on a whole host of new products, in addition to Black Friday carry-overs.
