I like the shoes. At first I thought it was too clunky and I almost returned the shoes, but I quickly decided they are pretty cool.

Great boots, I have them in Black, and they look as good today as they did 3 years ago when I bought them. Sizes do vary a lot (from a shoe salesman). These are slightly snugger than my other pair, which are a size smaller.

Awesome boots! Especially for this rainy fall we are having in the midwest. Great for busy moms too - no lacing!

I just received these today. I immediately noticed how heavy they were. They are also incredibly difficult to get on and off. I am sending them back. On the positive side, the suede is beautiful and the toe box is roomy and comfortable.

Outside Magazine featured these shoes and I tried them because of the lousy weather in the Northeast and need for a waterproof slip on that are presentable. These shoes are great. Fit well, light and look good. I am very pleased with the shoes and the service from Zappos.

I spent last three months trying to find a waterproof boot. This is it! Most comfortable, light and warm. Great looking, too.

Wanted to like them. From reading reviews from others, I figured this was a no brainer and I liked the look, style and brand reputation of Blundstone. Once I received them and got them out of the box I found quality problems. To start with, the molded soles have unsightly flash left on the very front of both boots. Something you see in cheap Chinese shoes. Kind of like a web of plastic rubber that either shouldn't have been there or should have been addressed by the manufacturer. Once I slipped them on, there was a annoying hard blob inside where my big toes was. Probably a big glob of hard glue from the assembly process. I tried to use my fingernail to pull off, but it didn't want to come off and was awkward and almost pulled my finger nail off. I figured I'd get a tool or screw driver and pry it off. Didn't work. So, overlooking the quality issues, I wore them for 1/2 day, put up with the hard blob and tried to like them. Expecting a sturdy, secure feel, I was surprised on how my foot felt like it was unsupported. The mix of the thin sole and soft "vibration damping" thermoplastic material did not give my foot a good feeling. I felt like there was nothing between my foot and the floor. Kind of spongy, but not in a good way. This pair of new boots are packed up and are on their way back to Zappos for a refund. Zappos is great for shipping, delivery, returns and I will probably take a chance on another pair, but definitely not a Blundstone.

Great shoes so far (just one month in). Initially I was put off by the closed clog, having expected the back of the shoes to come up higher, they felt like they would come off. But they were very comfortable so I gave them a try and got used to the style. Enough room in the toe and they are warm. No rubbing or pinching anywhere. Style fits both sweatpants and nicer looking slacks. I haven't worn them through a winter season of slush yet, but I expect them to hold up. I have also gotten the boots; they seem equally comfy and I look forward to testing them out, too.

These boots were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I was able to walk around the city without getting any first-time-wearing blisters. I did put thin shoe inserts for an added layer of comfort and support, but it's not a necessary addition. I would say they run true to size. I originally ordered size 9 US at the suggestion of an earlier review, but they were too large. I highly recommend these as an everyday, fall through winter shoe.

These boots fit like a glove, very true to size. Comfort is second to none; these are my new favorites and I will certainly be purchasing another pair when these are worn out.

I love my new Blundstone boots. I wear them every day. They fit great, seem true to size, look nice, slip on and off easily and don\'t feel too hot to me. They keep my feet dry, which is #1, because it rains 8 days a week in Seattle. ha!

These are pretty much as advertised: good quality, sturdy, comfortable for walking or standing. I find them true to size. I would prefer the elastic opening to be bigger; they tend to squeeze a bit just above the ankle.

My husband liked the Blundstone low clogs so much that I got these ankle high ones to try for his everyday shoes. He likes slip off shoes, but so many brands today look like bedroom slippers in public. These are very stylish and weather resistant; they look great. He had to get used to the side elastics, but the elastic loosens up and he learned a new skill. The pull tabs front and back are a nice touch. He Nik-waxed them, wears them every day and doesn't worry about our climate's effect on his shoes. A venerable and quality British product.

These are great boots. The only drawback is they run small for size. I always wear a size 7 in everything, but should have ordered the larger size in these as they only come full sizes. I thought that I just needed thinner socks. Wrong! Really, if they don't fit return for larger size.

Essential To Life - I am a Blundstone devote from way back. But I'm only on my second pair! Yes, that's how good these boots are. And comfy, yes. Cool looking, beyond. I have worn mine: while riding/while hiking/at work/out with skinny jeans, etc/ even on a friends mountain bike that required clip ins! I will never ever be without my Blunnies. And if they outsource them to China, it will break my heart.

These boots are very comfortable. I did not need to break them in. The leather lining, along with the elastic panels, makes them easy to get on and off. The fit is better than I expected. No heel slippage. I used the size conversion chart given. I wear US 10-1/2 this converts to Blundstone 9-1/2. I am very happy with them. Plus great service from Zappos.

Brilliant! 12 years ago a friend of mine recommended Blundstone to me, he swore they were the best all purpose kick-around boot out there. These boots are spot on for comfort and look good.

Overall:

Just got these in the mail, a day after I ordered them. Thanks, Zappos! I normally wear an 11 in sneakers so I ordered a 9.5 AUS (10.5 US, according to Zappos) because I'd read from places that this boot is roomy; however, they were too short and way too snug with two pair of athletic socks, which I'd be using them with in winter. I later found out that Australian sizing is different from American. A 9 AUS and 9.5 AUS are the same length, but the half-size indicates that it's a wide fit; since these are unisex I'm assuming they are made slightly narrow in the medium to accommodate female feet; I'm a D or E width normally and I will be ordering the AUS 10.5 to get enough room; hopefully they are the right size. While I haven't worn them for much time at all, the boots are very light and well-made. They are also very handsome! I love the slight reddish hue of the leather, and that will only get better with age.

A sturdy, comfortable boot, these Blundstone are ideal for city life, particularly one like NYC , where at least part of our days are spent walking on the street.

Stylish, well engineered boot that's light enough to work or walk in all day. These boots need a break-in period of 1-2+ weeks as they are very form fitting, but after that they really work well and support better than other similar boots that I've worn over the years.

These Blundstones (BL550s) are awesome. I first saw them in Australia and didn't buy them until last month after stumbling across them on Zappos. They fit surprisingly well and are easy to take on and off. These are great for daily tasks (walking the dog, etc.). The only other thing I think I need to mention is that they are slightly "reddish" brown. Zappos delivered them the day after I ordered them!

I like these shoes a lot. What I like most are how light they are. Also, the cushion heel makes them very comfortable. Haven\'t gone through an Oregon winter yet, but so far, water just seems to roll right off of them.

Overall:

I wanted a pair of boots that look nice, but that are also very water resistant, as I'm moving back to the island where it rains a lot. These boots are great and worth the money. I usually wear a ladies 8.5 (39 to 40)in a regular shoe and I have a narrow (A or AA) width. These fit like a B or maybe a C width. I first ordered the Australian size 6.5 but they were too short. I am happy with the size 7. They come with an additional insole which I am using and I have also added another three quarter length firm arch support insole. I wear fairly thick socks and the boots fit fine now. They are super comfortable. I have a herniated disk in my back, so I like the fact that these boots have a special shock absorbing sole. Quality is impressive, sole is rugged. Easy on and off. Nice.

Overall:

As a Blunnie devotee, I have found that this style holds up as an equally comfortable yet slightly heavier version of the classic Blundstone boot. They are true to size and fit like most unisex boots; close enough in the heel, but a little wiggle room up front.
