Blundstone - No longer as good
Blundstone 519s (Chelsea boot) used to be made with a soft leather backing at the heal that was super comfortable. I just bought my third pair and this pair no longer has the soft leather backing (instead, it's rough stitching at the back of the boot) and as a result, my heal/achilles is being rubbed raw. I guess cost-cutting has hit Blundstone boots, too! Too bad, as they were my favorite boots for the past 10 years.
