Do they still make these? Don't they all have toddler side zips?

My teenager has lace-ups. I’m sure they make side-zips, but lace-ups are the norm.

My feeling was always that Docs were too much work, with all those laces! I like that I can slip my Blundstones on and off.

Disagree, I think Blundstones look adorable with a kind of sporty cozy skirt/dress outfit. I wear Blundstones with tights and a mini skirt with wool quarter socks peeking out the top of the boot. It's not an elegant or edgy look, but it's cute and works with my personal style.

I absolutely love my Blundstones. Docs are too heavy and chunky for me - remind me of high school. Blundstones are incredibly comfortable and warm.

Also, I’m a straight woman in my 40s. Live in a UNC suburb. My husband also wears Blundstones - nearly every day.

Neither. How about something more attractive? Ferragamo makes some lovely boots that look great dressed up or down.

I have both.

Have not worn the Blundstones in an icy winter yet.

I prefer the Blundstones because I wore docs exclusively in my twenties and the Blundstones feel like a fresher style for my 40s.

I’ve got docs that look like Blunnies! Very very comfortable and relatively stylish.

Back in my barn days I went with Blunnies tho.

Was just about to say, this sounds like the old lesbian-Subaru stereotype (which isn’t true either!).

But it's kind of true. Right? You can see how they made the leap.
