But in the last five years, Blundstones have boomed in Canada, despite a price tag north of $200 for an adult pair. The boots aren't a new innovation they were first sold in 1870 in Australia, where the company's headquarters remains today, and are sold in more than 50 countries now. It seems to be a common problem in mudrooms across Canada, and it's all because of the popularity of Blundstone Originals - slip-on, ankle-length leather boots with elastic sides.


Imagine this: on the way out of a house party, you realize your boots have been stolen - because everyone's boots are the same and someone mistakenly walked off in yours.
