Blundstone BL500 SKU #7472340(View on Zappos.com Classic)

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.

Love these boots. This is only my 2nd pair of this model; the first pair lasted almost 9 years! Comfortable right out of the box, wear like iron. They look good with jeans and khakis. Wearable from early fall throughout early spring. No brainer.

Best boots ever. I work with horses and live on a ranch in the Nevada desert. I decided to get another pair of Blundstones after my first pair ate it after about 6 years of hard use. These are the best boots, they fit right to size and are comfortable from the get go. I did find with this new pair that I had to scrunch up my socks where the boot meets the back of the leg to break them in. The leather was a little harder than I remember, but maybe it just has been so long....I wear them everyday and they are very comfortable. I hike the mountains in them here, wear them with shorts, pants....these boots are simply a cut above the rest. My left foot is a half a size larger than the right foot and with these boots I have no issues with my toe hitting the front or the other foot sliding around. They just fit really good and my feet have room. They are not too tight or too loose. I love my Blundstones and the longer you wear them the better they look.

A little stiff, but ok when you get it on. I work in a wet area (bottled water production) at work, and these do everything I wanted. They're a little stiff to get on, and I need a long handled shoe horn to get mine on. All though the uppers are a little stiff, they're still flexible enough to bend comfortably when I need to kneel down. My socks stay dry.

A Perfect Shoe! Comfy!!! Have worn them daily since arrival. When the soles are wet they do not squeak while walking tile flooring. Great color... can either look blacker or browner. Custom orthotics slip right in with plenty of room.

Best shoes I've owned - First, they're much lighter than I expected. No heavier than a normal pair of shoes, and about 1/3 the weight of my Vasque hiking boots. Second, they're incredibly comfortable on day one - no painful break-in period. After a few days, they become even more comfortable as the ankle becomes more flexible. I've also not had to use my orthotics in these boots, as they provide plenty of arch support and I don't feel my foot over pronating.

I purchased these for my husband as a Christmas gift. Wasn't sure if he would like them or not, he loves them! They look great, are practical, comfortable, and you can dress them up or wear them with jeans. I would highly recommend these boots.

Great Boots; Great Man Trip - Setting: Guy's trip to Chicago, Milwaukee, and then Green Bay for Packers v. Bears. Issue: Wanted to carry on luggage. Issue pt 2. Shoes take up lots of space thus could not pack another pair. Solution: Purchased Blundstone's BL500 in black and got them Wed. for a trip starting Friday morning so no break in period. No Problem. Review: Walked around Chicago for 10 hours, and on my feet for 14 hours in Milwaukee and all day in Green Bay. Shoes felt great, able to go out without changing shoes and most important my feet were warm as the Pack destroyed the hated bears. Go Pack. Overall, I will by buying another pair in brown next week. You should really go get a pair soon if not NOW. Great shoes.

Great boots - I don't generally like boots without laces... usually they don't fit snug enough for me, these however fit like a glove from day one. I love 'em!
