Finally found a pair of all-weather boots that fit and look great. Super comfortable with the insert. I\'m not sure if they are made to keep my feet warm, so I ordered a 1/2 size up so I can wear thick socks with them. They feel sturdy around my feet without feeling too heavy. They keep my feet dry on wet, cold days. Haven\'t tried them through a Boston winter to decide if they keep my feet warm. I\'ll rely on my socks for that as long as they keep my feet dry. Love them!

Awesome boots! Especially for this rainy fall we are having in the midwest. Great for busy moms too - no lacing!

I spent last three months trying to find a waterproof boot. This is it! Most comfortable, light and warm. Great looking, too.

These boots fit like a glove, very true to size. Comfort is second to none; these are my new favorites and I will certainly be purchasing another pair when these are worn out.

These boots are very comfortable. I did not need to break them in. The leather lining, along with the elastic panels, makes them easy to get on and off. The fit is better than I expected. No heel slippage. I used the size conversion chart given. I wear US 10-1/2 this converts to Blundstone 9-1/2. I am very happy with them. Plus great service from Zappos.

Brilliant! 12 years ago a friend of mine recommended Blundstone to me, he swore they were the best all purpose kick-around boot out there. These boots are spot on for comfort and look good.

A sturdy, comfortable boot, these Blundstone are ideal for city life, particularly one like NYC , where at least part of our days are spent walking on the street.

I had put off buying these boots for a long time because of the price and that was a misake. These are great! Super comfortable and will be great in the bad weather. They seem true to size for a women's size 8. I love them.

Wow! I've liked the Blundstone look for years, so when it came time to replace my daily work shoes, I bought a pair of the 558s. Again, wow! Great fit and comfort, durability is too early to determine, but from all indications they're made to last. They even work for my business casual dress code requirement. So the 558s came in black, now I'm considering the classic 550s in the original brown. The fit is spot on for my slightly wide feet. The very first time I put them on they felt a little tight in the heel; however, the heel cup conforms to your heel as needed and are perfect. Yes, I will be buying more in the future, no doubt.

If I hadn't had the opportunity to read reviews on this boot by other people, I'd never have tried them. Thank you each reviewer, and thanks to Zappos for permitting the space! I've worn these boots through sand dunes, on the ocean beach, and in the nearby river muck almost daily, and I wish I'd had these boots years ago. They're amazingly comfortable, keep the sand out, are easily cleaned on the bottoms and look as good as such an all-around boot can look. I agree with every good thing other reviewers said about them and, sorry Zappos, but I hope they never wear out! Thanks to all.

Very comfy, waterproof and great for city trekking or light hiking. Bought these for a two week trip to Scotland/Ireland. Did a lot of walking. My feet stayed warm, dry and comfortable the entire time. Did not require break-in time - wore them right out of the box. The best part is that my orthotics fit in them nicely, so no sore arches at the end of the day! The boots are lightweight and look great with jeans.

I had admired a friend's Blundstones for a long time and despite his urgings to get a pair I held off. That was a mistake. These boots were comfortable the first time I pulled them on. I can't imagine what they'll be like once they're broken in! They're still pretty new so I can't really comment on the durability, but I'd imagine they will last me for a long time.

I\'m really happy with my new blundstones. They slip on very easy and take just a little more effort to get off. Once they\'re on the feel great and there\'s no heel slip or foot sliding for me. \r\nI\'m a US 14 and got a Blundstone 13. \r\n\r\nGreat Boots!

Great boots. I bought these for horseback riding because I did not like the look of most English riding boots. These are great. Love them. I wear a size womens 6 and the 3 worked great. No break in time at all. Will get another pair in brown. They clean up nice no matter what I do to them - dist, mud, water...

These are my uniform - I live in them. Super stylish, comfortable, and utterly, totally waterproof. The insoles can be removed for a tighter or looser fit. If I have one tiny complaint it's that I have a very, very high instep and for the first few months there's pressure on the top of my foot until these very stiff boots stretch a bit. Trust me - I have a higher instep than you do. Don't ever stop making these or I'll have to go barefoot!
