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.

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 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!

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.

Before I get to the boot, I have to mention the wonderful customer service experience I had with Zappos. I ordered a 1/2 size too big, spoke with customer service and had the correct size the NEXT DAY! Who does that...wow, I was blown away by the great service I got. They were kind, informative and easy to deal with...now the boot...I was concerned at first because the fit was a little different than what I was used too, but I could tell these were very well built, high quality boots. After a couple of weeks there was no question that they live up to their legend. The fit is conforming to my foot very nicely, they have a great stable feel and the quality of the make really comes through...for what it’s worth, I'm about to buy another pair.

I have bursitis of the right knee, and the Skechers Oswald clogs I had been wearing gave me pain after only 3 to 4 hours on my feet. Found the black version of this Blundstone on sale and I bit the bullet and ordered it here. Now, no pain, even after a 10-hour day of cooking. The boots somehow improved my posture, especially while walking. They look good, as well. Get 'em now before they're outsourced to China.

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.

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.

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.

Sweet... These are the best slip on boots I've ever had. I used to have the 500 series, and I think these are more comfortable and better looking. These things still look new after a ton of wearing. They are crazy comfortable and provide just the right amount of support. The "stout brown" is extremely dark, almost black. These are fantastic boots.
