Boots are a versatile footwear choice, and you won’t regret having them in your diverse shoe collection. Blundstone is privately held by the Cuthbertson family, who bought the brand back in 1930. The brand is popular for its work boots, 500 series boots, chukka boots, women’s high-top boots, suede boots, etc. The color maroon is named after the French word for chestnut.
