I have had the shoes for little over a month now and they are getting to the point the leather is forming to my foot shape. The leather is a good quality and thick, so expect a few weeks break in period. I was worried about my foot sliding around once they were broken in, but this has not been the case. They keep your foot in place, but allow the ability to breath by not having the shoes tightly wrapped by shoelaces or lacing in general. I was on my feet for over 11 hours straight one night at work and they definitely did their job of reducing fatigue. After 11 hours straight I would compare the fatigue of my feet to about 4 hours of my last pair of work boots I used. They are still breaking in, so I only expect them to get more comfortable. I would not hesitate to buy again and have recommended them to others already.

Wonderful boots! Comfortable and stylish. My only complaint is that they look more black than brown.

I am very particular of my footwear. I have low volume uber-flat feet with nerve damage caused by too many years in rock climbing shoes and hiking, ski, and mountaineering boots. I ordered these Blundstones to replace a 5 year old pair of Keen's of similar design (slip-on, full-height). The "Stones'" wide toebox accommodated my wide, flat feet and the removable insole allowed my orthotics easily. There was zero break-in time and they are warm as can be, even with the steel toe. I live in New Hampshire, USA and bought these in November. It's down around 10 degrees F as I write this and still nice and warm for active wear outside for extended periods. The soles are non-lugging and I have found them to provide excellent traction on everything from wet grass to icy dirt roads to icy sidewalks. I love these boots and am considering just buying another pair to have for when these wear out! Oh...and the slip-on factor is great (late-night dog-walkies!) When I ordered the Blundstones, I also ordered a pair of similar Keens and Merrells. The Merrells were the closest in fit (very comfy) but were more dressy/less rugged than I needed. The Keens were well made but not a good fit to my foot. Zappos provided free shipping of the 2 pairs I did not purchase...it was a complete no-brainer to do it this way, as most shoe stores won't carry 3 different company's boots in the same style, so I could never do a side-by-side comparison. Zappos rules!

I had read about these boots in Outside Magazine, and swore that I would one day treat myself to a pair. What was I waiting for? They are by far the most comfy work boot, or any boot, that I've ever worn. Seriously. I was concerned that the slip on style would not feel secure, but it is great, and so convenient! Plenty of toe room, and completely unaware of the steel toe, unlike some other steel toe boots. They are well made, and I can tell they will last and last. I find myself wearing them even when not needing the protection because they are that superior to other footwear.
Brands I'd also recommend: there is no other boot close to these!

First time going back to my ship and felt no foot ache from being on 3 months vacation. I wish Id found these babies years ago. Excellent in every way fit comfort donning these are work boots safe and comfortable. My feet actually felt good after three days running around getting ready for sea out of the shipyard. The need for toe-nail guard due to fungus was met by this boot. Just a great all day boot. Cant say enough about how satisfied I am w/ the boot.

Great boot, love the look and feel. Bought these for work; however, I notice that I just throw them on just to go to the store or going out on the town. I originally ordered size 13 US, however, these were too big for me. I tend to wear 13s in most shoes. So I ordered a 12 US and they fit perfect. So with that said I would say that they run just a bit big. Zappos provided great customer service on the boot swap and next day delivery at no charge to me.
