EXCELLENT Shoe!
Purchased these for winter-walking the dogs and looking smart in yucky weather. Never a damp or wet foot all winter. The included foot pads adjusted the slightly large fit to a perfect fit! Excellent, excellent build quality, and after a very snowy Midwestern winter, they still look as new. Great value!

Best boots ever!
I've had 3 foot surgeries and I work at stable with 21 horses. I've very careful about the shoes/boots I wear. These are wonderful. Have heard about them for years and finally decided to get them. They felt comfortable from day 1! I LOVE them! Love the fact that I can put my custom orthodics in.

Ankle boots -
I haven't worn ankle boots very long, and actually prefer a taller boot. But the Blundstone boot is comfortable and light for desirable walking boot.

Great Boot!
Stylish enough for a casual night out, and tough enough for working in the outdoors. The insert pad is a great bonus. It makes the boot feel like a glove!

Finally! It IS what it says it IS!
I was apprehensive about giving these BL550s to my husband as a Christmas gift; especially after never having seen them "in person", BUT they are EVERYTHING Blundstone says they are. The insoles enclosed in the box made them even a cozier fit. I was concerned that the backs might rub on his legs and cause blisters. Didn't happen! He tells me over & over how great they feel and felt right from the beginning.

Give 'em a break -
These started out feeling a little stiff in the heel, but after wearing for just an hour they had softened up and continue to soften with every wearing. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn and provide incredible shock absorption all day long. I look forward to putting them on in the morning; they "give back" no matter how long the day.

A bit of breaking in -
First, my feet are difficult for boots. I have high, but rolling arches. On a Brannock device, my feet measure to a 6.5B (L) and just under 7B (R) respectively, however I usually wear size 7.5. I attribute this to my high arches. A size 38 European usually fits perfectly. I ordered both the 4.5 (which is a bit snug in the arches) and a 5. The 5 was just too big, so I kept the 4.5, but I am having to break them in. I am not using the Blundstone insoles, but some more supportive ones. This is actually the first day I have worn them out of the house. The right boot fits quite well, the left one is putting some pressure on my arch. I poked around on the internet for Blundstone fitting and several sites said that you might experience tightness over the arch. If after a few wearings it doesn't get comfy, I will take them to the cobbler. The boots seem to be of great quality. I very much like the look.

I bought this pair of Merrells last year in Dec and they are the most comfortable warm pair of shoes I have ever owned. I was going to buy new shoes for this winter but nothing feels as good as these. Mine are black suede, I think I will buy the black in smooth leather too. They fit my size 10 (not wide) feet perfectly. I wish they were available in Mens for my husband.

Perhaps the best boot I have ever worn.
I bought these on a whim. I have always liked the look, but I have flat and wide feet. I tend to only wear Birkenstocks, Mephistos, Danskos, etc. to accommodate my situation, but I just had to give these a shot. Well, not only do they fit like a dream, but they might just be the most comfortable shoe I own. My lower back pain has receded some. I can walk longer with my feet hurting less. These things are amazing. Since they do not come in widths, I ordered the next size up and it's almost like these were bespoke. FANTASTIC! I will be buying these for as long as they make them. Thank you Zappos and thank you Blundstone!

My favorite shoes!
I've had my Blundstones for over 5 years now and I love them! Comfortable, rugged, great for all kinds of weather, and so classic. I've worn them in the city and hiking... I'm also a big klutz and I swear they help me stay upright. I also put those gel insoles in and that makes them perfect. I'm really happy to see them here on Zappos - I'm happy to spread the word about these gorgeous specimens of leathery goodness. Treat your feet!
