While fashion and style trends come and go, certain wardrobe staples possess a timeless air that keeps them just as relevant and in-vogue today as they were when they debuted. One such item is the classic Chelsea boot, which first came onto the scene in the 1830s and remains a go to option for any fashion-forward individual looking for a well-rounded blend of comfort, versatility, traction, durability, and style. And with the winter season right around the corner, online retailer and curation specialist Huckberry has opted to join forces with Blundstone to deliver a Huck-exclusive version of the Aussie outfit’s own 2406 Suede Chelsea Boot.

Though wearing suede clothing and footwear is seldom a wise choice on rainy days, the Huckberry-exclusive 2406 Suede Chelsea Boot is a very different beast. The boots are constructed around a set of water-resistant suede uppers that feel super soft and supple right out of the box, yet still afford robust protection from the elements. Sporting a light brown colorway, those uppers come mated to a cushy, heat-resistant TPU outsole that benefits from the use of Poron XRD integrated into the heels — an extreme impact protection foam much more commonly found in motorcycle jackets. 

It doesn’t end there, however, as the outside of the 2406 Suede Chelsea Boot has also been fitted with front and rear pull-tabs while the inside has been treated to a cushioned footbed that’s both removable and washable. Completing the package is a polyurethane midsole and a support-bolstering steel shank. The entire boot is also pieced together using double-stitching, which hugely increases long-term durability — all without compromising this Chelsea boot’s versatile and timeless appearance. 

Offered exclusively through Huckberry, the Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boot is available now in limited numbers, with pricing set at $180.
