Uggs Swell - I really like this shoe. I wear a 5 and usually never bigger, but I first ordered the 5 and the R side was really tight and the L a little tight. This was weird because my L foot is slightly larger. So I returned and got a 6, which is very comfortable. My foot is a little wide, but not enough to wear a W and the toes have plenty of room. The boot is very warm for the cold weather here and the padding good, but the arches could use more support when walking long. Maybe I will insert some more support. Also, not very waterproof. I waterproof sprayed the shoes, but when walking in slush, my foot felt a little damp. These are definitely not for snow and not really for rain either because for some reason the soles are slippery! Sounds like I have many criticisms, but I really do like the shoe for it's overall comfort and style. It's just not a wet weather shoe, but I knew that.

Blundies definitely rock! This is my first pair of the infamous Blundies. The first two times you wear 'em, you definitely want to wrap your ankles - but after that? You'll wanna sleep in 'em.

Great boots! 1st pair of Blundstones and I like them! There was a quick break in period (about 2 days on the job), but they're super comfortable now. I walk 2+ miles a day at work, and my knee pain has disappeared. They're rugged, comfy, and look great. Note, however, that they're pretty much black. The leather is dark, dark brown.

Wicked awesome right out of the box. Just buy one size bigger from Australian sizes. Very comfortable, no break in needed.

Finally, a winter boot that is quality and comfortable. I have returned two previous in as many days. I really like the expansion sides. These are a keeper. I think they'll last for years. I purchased the actual women's size I am and they are perfect. Yeah!

I hate these boots. I look at them each weekday morning as I head to my office, just wishing it was the weekend so I could wear them all day long.

I love my Blundstone boots. Living in Colorado, I needed warm everyday boots with deep treads for walking thru snow, sleet, ice etc. My Blundstones met my needs for warmth, daily wear, and durability. As a bonus, they look pretty good with jeans, too. They are made from fine grade leather and were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I ordered them a half size larger because I wanted to wear thick woolen socks and they fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend these boots.

These shoes are very masculine and clunky. Perfect for slipping on to go out and shovel snow though. They were too much boot for me. Extremely well made. My size fit with a heavy wool sock. These need heavy socks. Good for what they are.

These boots are exactly what I was looking for. I have really wide feet, but only at the toe end, but really narrow feet everywhere else. I\'ve tried every style of boot out there with no luck. The elastic at the ankle is just enough give to get my feet in, while keeping the cool air out of my ankle. Don\'t think they\'d be great in snow, but then we don\'t get too much of that. Great everyday shoe to wear with jeans.

Very simply, these are great boots. Easy on and easy off and they keep your feet dry and warm. They are extremely comfortable, good arch support, and the toe guard protects the leather from wear and water. It is no wonder why they are so popular.

When they first arrived I was a disappointed because they were so stiff. Walking in them for more than a couple of hours gave me blisters. But I kept at it knowing that if they broken in they'd be all I wanted them to be. It took about 3 weeks, but I finally broke them in and they are now the perfect boot. It is light-weight yet still rugged, waterproof enough and super comfortable. I've worn them for miles and hours on urban walks and my feet never complain.

Thank you for the super service. The customer support was friendly, courteous, and upgraded my shipping from standard five day for free to next day for free. I ordered at 5pm and received my package the next day by 5pm. This is the best service ever for me, and I will surely be purchasing my footwear from Zappos every chance I get. The prices are the best. Thank you Zappos.

Comfy. Look good. Maybe run a little bit bigger than advertised. The little toe cap is really functional and adds some nice chunkiness to the front of the boot. Note: these boots will squeak extremely loudly for quite a while after you get them if you walk on a smooth or polished/waxed floor. A little embarrassing. But great for walking around the vineyard and winery.

These shoes are great looking and seem sturdy--I love how they are lightweight but have serious tread. The only break-in required was the "throat". It was a doozy of a break-in. My shins were bruised and hurt like heck after the first two wearings. I was afraid I'd have to send them back. However, I left a large, wide can of soup in each "throat" for two weeks and then made sure to wear with really thick socks. Now, yes, I want to sleep in them! Best walking shoes I've had--I walk about 5-8 miles per day, and I think I've finally found the shoes that are comfortable and durable enough for me.

Fantastic boots. I have trouble finding shoes that are comfortable, I walk a lot and have wide feet and wonky knees. These are probably the most comfortable boots I have ever worn- wide enough for my feet, roomy enough for heavy socks. Completely waterproof, at least for now. A great purchase for me.
