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.
