Blundstone

Classic 550 Chelsea Boot - Women's

First try of Blundstone boot

Size was correct for length. I have narrow feet so expect to need insoles and big socks. This was the case here also. The ones that came with the boots weren’t enough but I had thicker insoles to hand which made the fit perfect. Looked very smart but feel like they will not keep my feet warm even in thick socks.

Love these boots

These Blundstone boots were such a good buy. They fit perfectly and were comfortable from first wear. I love this colour and they will go with so many outfits.

Unbelievable :)))

So comfortable, like slippers. Fought with Timberland for years and years (& blister after blister….which led to a grumpy, moany person to dog walk with lol) Expensive, yes - but you get what you pay for. They’ll be on my feet for the next 20 years - guaranteed - or I’ll eat my hat! Not my gorgeous Hush one though ;)

Too small

I have had two pairs of blundstones now, they are awesome boots, that are super cute and functional, but completely kill your feet. Definitely size a whole size up. I have tried half sizing but the shoe only gets wider and I still have huge blisters and painful feet at the end of the day. Going to see if going a whole size up helps but otherwise may have to try another boot out.

Literally wear these every day

6 months and many miles later…The best all-around boots I've ever owned! I've worn them practically every day - no exaggeration. It does take about two weeks to break in, but they're only getting better with age. These boots are a solid investment. They’re a do-it-all type of shoe. Different styles fit slightly differently, I do have another pair of bloodstones that fit a bit more snug, so I had to size up a half size, but these fit true to size (I bought an 8).

Beautiful boot, runs small. I usually wear a 9, bought a 9.5 and it was super small. I will exchange for a 10.5 b/c I would love to wear some thick socks with them. Hopefully that works.

Funky Sizing!

Normally, I am a true size 7 in women's shoes. I ordered a size 7 in the rustic black color, and when they arrived, I was surprised that my toes were smashed into the end. I walked around in them for a bit in my home, and eventually concluded that I should order a half size up. What I didn't know is that the half sizes in Blundstone's lineup are their wide sizes. So the 7.5 is the same length as the 7, but has a wider fit. I ended up ordering an 8, which fits my toes perfectly with the comfort liners inserted into it to make the boot more snug. I haven't broken them in yet or really worn them asides from the initial try on, so I can't really speak to the break in process or longevity of the boots.

20 years and still going

I think I actually bought these from the Backcountry catalog before I shopped online. I have worn them rain or shine, hot or cold for 20 years, and they are still going strong. Thinking about contacting Blundstone to have the soles replaced, but the best shoe I've ever worn.

I usually wear a U.S. size 7.5 and got the size 5 (UK) in the Rustic Brown boots. I bought these to wear for work and hiking. But I'd say they're better for walking around town and have great traction, but the ankle area is not supportive/sturdy enough for hiking. They definitely needed to be broken in - the back of the boots pressed into my leg right below my calves when I first started wearing them. It hurt so bad for a good week, but I toughed it out and then for a month I wore them every single day and they were perfect. But a couple of weeks ago a deep crease formed only on the right boot, right above my heel (Achilles tendon area). It's so incredibly painful to walk in the right boot now. My Achilles tendon is swollen and bruised from the deep crease pushing into it every step I make. Meanwhile the left boot is completely comfortable with no deep crease in that location. This was after only 1 month of wear. One would think that a $200 pair of boots would be a bit sturdier and better constructed to not bend so much after 1 month of wear. I've never had this occur before with one boot getting a crease so deep I couldn't walk because of the pain. Blundstone wouldn't replace the one boot as they deemed it normal and I can't return them for a refund because I wore them. Unfortunately Blundstone's product isn't sturdy or worth the hype.

Boots are good looking

I?m pleased with the boot, I have another style of blundstones and know they?re hellacious to break in, but the fit is nice. Not super excited that both the included insoles were covered with pet hair. Kind of gross. Paid a lot of money for the boots, would have liked them to be clean. Not upset that they were a return, they don?t look worn, just?not pumped about the small white hairs covering the inside of the boots.
