If not Blundstone, perhaps something similar. I'm looking for a good hard-wearing, multi-purpose pair of boots for travelling, tramping city streets etc...
Anyone know where you can buy men's Blundstone boots in Zürich? Google hasn't revealed anything, so I was wondering if anyone here had come across them?
I subscribed to this thread in hopes that someone else would look it up and put up the relevant information here for me to leech. boy, was I wrong!!!
A cursory glance through the first page of google results indicated that there's a shop near Tram Station Dammweg. I'm a fan of Blundstone myself, would probably make a trip there to take a look.
If you can wait, it'd be worthwhile to buy your Blunnies from a shop in Australia and have them mailed (sea post, or by air if you really need them quickly). They're astoundingly good value there, even with the current exchange rate.
I've seen Blundstone in Zürich but can't remember where! I do remember they were more like RM Williams price (up market Australian Chelsea boots).
Incidentally, they sell the RM Williams boots at DeeCee Style on Talacker: http://www.deeceestyle.ch/
Slightly slimmer looking than Blundstones but on the same lines. http://www.deeceestyle.ch/images10/b..._42_bild_b.jpg
I have definitely seen them too, and recently. I'm pretty sure it was in VMC at Rindermarkt 8, 8001 Zürich. Call them to ask maybe: 044 251 56 96 Downstairs on the right there's a whole wall and shelf of boots etc.
Failing that there's an Australian shop in Rapperswil which I like which has similar boots: http://www.mullum.ch/products.cfm?kat=63
Thanks for the replies everyone. I eventually sourced some online from lace-up.de in Dresden, but they're taking a suspiciously long time to arrive. EUR 130 though, which I thought wasn't too bad.
If that falls through for some reason I'll follow up on some of the great suggestions in here.
Update: scratch that, they dun have it anymore...
Update from my side: www.lace-up.de delivered in the end - took a while, but that could easily have been Swiss customs holding things up.
Anyway, just in case anyone's interested, they definitely have them - a pair of size 46 500s cost me 120 euros, including delivery.
