A Nod to the Tasmanian Bush
The #2442 is the most naturally expressive boot in the Classics range. Forest green water-resistant nubuck leather – a colour that nods directly to the Tasmanian bush that shaped the brand – gives the Classic silhouette a character that goes beyond the standard brown/black palette. Nubuck brings a softness to the upper that smooth leather doesn’t offer, with a brushed surface texture that catches light differently depending on the angle. Functionally, the #2442 follows the Classics template: roomier fit with leather lining, reinforced double stitching at heel and gusset for long-term durability, and the SPS Max Comfort system working through a combination of XRD Technology in the heel and a cushioned midsole. The thermo-urethane outsole offers improved resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack – the kind of thing worth knowing if you take your boots into the bush – while the EVA footbed and cushioned heel provide consistent cushioning across the day. An extra set of footbeds is included in the box for fit adjustment. For anyone who wants a Chelsea boot that does something a little different with colour.

Born in colonial Tasmania in 1870, Blundstone is one of the world's most enduring boot brands – and one of the most no-bull. Founded by John and Eliza Blundstone in Hobart, the brand started making fit-for-purpose footwear for the hard yakka of island life: cobbled city streets, farmland, factory floors. The iconic elastic-sided Chelsea silhouette arrived in the 1960s, and the original pattern has barely changed since. There's a reason for that.
Over 150 years, Blundstone has remained committed to a simple philosophy: make boots that work. Tough enough for a day's hard yakka, comfortable enough to pull on for the commute or a night out, understated enough to never look out of place.
The Originals Series stays true to that founding blueprint – single-piece leather construction, unlined for breathability, with cushioned heel technology and a hard-wearing outsole. The Classics Series builds on the Original with a roomier fit, leather lining, and the SPS Max Comfort system for long days on your feet. Clogs bring the same no-nonsense ethos to a slip-on silhouette, with memory foam footbeds and that unmistakable Blundies build quality.
On sustainability, Blundstone maximises recycled and recyclable materials in manufacturing, uses 100% recyclable single-material packaging, and minimises fossil fuel use across its supply chain. Boots built to last – in every sense.
