Awesome boots. Super comfortable straight out of the box. The fit may be a little snug if you like thicker socks. I typically wear thinner socks and felt the US10 size was pretty true to size; maybe a bit on the small size. The stout brown color is darker than it appears in the Zappos photos and looks black in some conditions.

Awesome boots! I've been wearing them for about a month now and they really loosened up. Definitely my go to everyday boot. I usually wear an 8.5-9 US size shoe. I first bought an 8 and they were too big and quite wide. I ended up buying a 7.5 and they fit awesome. Definitely worth the money. These Blundstones have a classic look and can be dressed up or down. Enjoy!

I have worn Blundstones for the last 12 years. I am a huge fan and I'm on my 4th pair. They are excellent work boots. If you wear them daily then you will likely need a new pair every 3 years. I looked into having them resoled because they are expensive to keep replacing. According to a local cobbler the footbeds/soles are molded in a way that makes them unable to be resoled. Bummer. The leather remains surprisingly waterproof with a minimal treatment of Nikwax for leather. I always have replaced the original insole with arch-supporting SuperFeet insoles which you can also order at Zappos.

As good as always - I'm not sure what people are complaining about when they say the quality isn't what it used to be. I ordered these in black to replace an ancient pair of the same boots, and decided to get the brown as well. I don't usually buy brown shoes but these are such a nice, versatile shade! They are well-made, comfortable, and look great. I do recommend sizing down a half-size though, as they run large.

Great, durable, comfortable pull-on. These are super comfortable, versatile, pull-on boots. Nice enough to wear with khakis, perfect with jeans, great all-around. I have a full size 14 foot and the AUS 13 (US 14) fits great with a little extra room like its maybe a 14.5.

These are the real deal. Every day comfort, weather proof, and styling to boot. What more could you want?

These are great boots! Just got 'em and they're a dream! I listened to the other reviews and got a half-size smaller and they fit just fine.

Nice boot, but mainly want to rave about service at Zappos. Outstanding. Will never go to a shopping mall ever again.

What an awesome pair of boots! They fit perfectly and, with my many hours walking in sand, the tootsies are not tired by the end of the day.

This is my first pair of Blundstone boots. Zappos, as usual, was extremely quick with delivery. I usually wear a US man's 13. I followed the guidance to go down one size and ordered AU size 12. I have a wider than normal foot and I am also flat footed so I don't like a high arch support in my shoes. I was worried about going down a size for the difference between US and Australian sizing but these boots fit perfectly and were extremely comfortable from the minute I put them on. I've been wearing them a lot since I got them and I really like the way they look and feel. I think my relationship with these boots, just as with Zappos, is going to last a long time!

If you are a barn cleaning horseback rider, these boots are a necessity. Comfortable and sturdy. If your feet are narrow, don't pick this style. They are wide and a little loose.

These are replacement boots for the pair I wore down to the soles after 6 years, and I love, love, love them. They are comfortable, waterproof, great-looking. I couldn't be happier! Oh, to note, the Australian sizes are really different and you must be careful to get the size that fits. I'm a woman's 10.5 and a man's 9, and the Australian 8.5 fits me perfectly.

Great Boots, well made, lightweight, will last forever! I already have two pairs! I wear a size 6, and I ordered a size 4. They fit a little large, very wide. I will need to wear thick socks with these boots.

BL500 was recommended to me by my son who wears them. I bought myself a pair for Christmas. I wear them all the time. Great look and feel. A young woman I work said, "Nice boots." They're worth the price.

Love these. They're the best kick-around shoe ever. Love them with skinny jeans. The only complaint I'd have is that they rubbed the back of my ankle about two inches up from the heel while I was breaking them in. It might just be the way I walk, but I'd recommend thick socks until they soften up. I'm usually a 7.5 or an 8, I opted for 7.5 here and they fit snugly with thick winter socks but still nicely with regular ones. Enjoy!

Blundies are great. Good for work or stepping out for dinner. Great service from Zappos. They delivered the boots real fast!

These boots are really great. I ride horses so I can put these on from 6 am to eight pm and my feet don't hurt at all. My only complaint is that when you order, order a size down because they will stretch. Good for people with wide feet.
