Blundstones Boots - My well loved, used, and traveled boots.

[Iseeyouraining]

I have a vintage pair and the soles are AWEFUL. . . Is there anyway I can get them repaired?

[teppichkopf]

@Iseeyouraining

Take them to a local shoe repair cobbler and see if they can put a new sole on.

[jordandaniels7]

Isnt that what product is supposed to do? Decay so you have to buy new ones?

[teppichkopf]

@jordandaniels7

Kinda appears that way for Blundstone's biz plan.

[blundstone1870]

@teppichkopf You're hard 2 track down! There may be a very good reason why this has happened 2 your Blundstones. Your boots are around 10 years old & as they get older they require more care. It is still rare 4 this 2 occur & the fact it has happened to u twice is unheard of. If you could inbox Blundstone1870 with an email address we will be happy to share some useful information. In your case, the 2 year warranty shall be extended due to some bad luck! Next time...just call us!

[blundstone1870]

@jordandaniels7 No, not at all Jordan.The longer you have your boots the happier we are!

[jordandaniels7]

@blundstone1870 Cute! I really love mine! It takes awhile to break in because my feet werent used to boots but after that so comfy! Thanks!

[blundstone1870]

@jordandaniels7 No worries Jordan! Glad you're getting use to them. They just needed to get to know you a little better too :)

[therichardchannel]

When you first bought your Blundstones new, did they feel tight at the instep? Where the ankle kind of meets the toes. How long does it take to break in?

[teppichkopf]

@therichardchannel

For me they fit quite well from day 1. I never had any tightness, or break-in period, with either pair I've had.

[therichardchannel]

@teppichkopf I was thinking of buying these boots but it seems ever since they moved production to Asia everyone reports that the quality dropped A LOT. I hope Blundstone compensates you with a new pair or something.

By the way you could do a spot on Ben Stiller impersonation if you wanted to!

So here is the scoop. I popped into the Australian boot company - (Vancouver location) today with my boots. They determined that the problem was that I hadn't worn my boots enough and that rubber will eventually disintegrate if just left on its own. I call Bull****!!! Anyway they said my boots were made in 2002 - (stamp underneath has the date and month they were made) I bought the boots about 4 years ago so they figured I had been sold and old pair. Anyway, they GAVE ME NEW BOOTS!!! YEAH!!!

[teppichkopf]

@elocinnitremol

Wow, that's awesome you got a new pair of boots. But their comments are completely BS. I mean really, shoes will disintegrate if left on a shelf? ... Wow. So did they say they have changed the rubber they use? Or should you expect them to fall apart again? I guess you'll find out....

[elocinnitremol]

I just wrote the company today and sent them pics of the boots. The uppers on mine look almost brand new. There are many postings about this problem on line.

[teppichkopf]

@elocinnitremol

Yeah, my black ones had very little use. Blundstone certainly has a quality problem ongoing for years. I got each pair of mine years apart but the result was the same. If you hear back from Blundstone about your boot be sure to comment about it here!

[elocinnitremol]

Mine are doing exactly the same thing!!!!!!!!!!

[teppichkopf]

@elocinnitremol

That's too bad too. All in all I loved these boots while they weren't falling apart.

[MartinoX3]

For God sake you don't work in army but in shop ... they made those shoes from cotton ? :/

[teppichkopf]

@MartinoX3

So it should seem....

[meganpenaherrera]

how old are those?

[teppichkopf]

@meganpenaherrera

Brown ones lasted about 4 years. Black ones lasted about 2.5 years.

These boots remind me of this video... /watch?v=CRD8AUg2ApE&ob=av3e

[harbaal]

Mine too :(

[teppichkopf]

@harbaal

Yeah, what a racket. These things stink! Maybe I should check their warranty policy.
