Customer Reviews Blundstone BL500 Original 500 Chelsea Boot

My husband received these for Christmas, and we have proceeded to buy them as gifts for others over and over! They are the BEST! They are great looking, all-terrain, all weather and so easy to slip on and off at the door. (The only way they could be better is if the insole was all leather.) They are especially great before or after snow skiing. I hope they last a long time! Every man should have them--maybe we'll start getting them for gifts for the gals next!

These are the some of the best all around outdoor shoes I've ever had. They are a bit stiff, but no doubt, the leather will get more supple with wear. My husband loves them too, so I'm ordering him a pair. I ordered 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, and that seems to have been the right choice.

My 500s are nearly eight years old. They took some time to break in then became extraordinarily comfortable after a few months. I wear them up to five days a week on the street and in the class room. The uppers are supple, nearly waterproof and very scuff free despite their age. The back of the heels wore down after four years but I had a local shoe repairman put a rubber plate in the worn area and that has extended the life another three years. Although I care for my footwear, the performance of these 500s has nonetheless been remarkable. These were made in Tasmania. I hope that any new 500s will be as reliable, stylish and long-lived. In a world of shoddy product it's always great to find quality and I always hope that it will endure!

I love these boots. My last pair lasted over 10 years. I had to buy a new pair because I wore the soles off the last ones and they do not recommend resoling. Now I share the new ones with my teenage daughter who also loves them.

These are the shoes I've been looking for my whole life! I am a glassblower, so on my feet a lot on cement floors. I wear a women's 11 and have flat feet. So, to find a shoe that will hold up for more than a couple months, be comfortable and attractive is like a dream. I had wanted these shoes for a long time and finally splurged on them. Absolutely worth the cost.

Really comfortable boots. Out of the box the heel might feel a little tight, it is just from sitting in a box. Give them a short walk and they will start forging a BFF relationship with your feet.

I bought these boots because the ones I really wanted (from another online site) were out of stock. I'm glad I did! These are comfortable and I like the style. Other reviews have said they hold up really well. I've only had mine a month, but so far so good. I've worn them most days to trek through the Seattle rain and I'm very happy.

I needed a sturdy, comfortable, stylish outdoor boot for work and this one did the trick. It's great. When I look in my closet to see which boot I should wear, this one is my first choice. I never tire of wearing it. I have a wide foot with high arch, it's sometimes hard to find a boot that fits comfortably. I had no problem with this one.

Have been wearing for about 10 months now, about 5 times a week. Very comfortable! At work, when walking around sf, riding my motorcycle, doing yard work, walking on ice/snow in Tahoe... My flat feet and lower back feel great! The shoes also still look in good condition. I am using an arch support with it though as my feet are really flat.

This is my 3rd pair of Blundstones. I love them. These are the first time for the boots, I have worn the shoes in the past. They are comfortable and well made. The stout brown is very dark almost black in some light.

I'm always impressed by the prompt shipping and good service that Zappos provides. Thanks again.

Comfortable stylish great for all seasons. Love.

I bought 2 pairs of Blunnies in size 7.5 AUS, one with brown elastic and one with green. Weird thing--both pairs said 7.5 on the sole, but the brown elastic pair was noticeably smaller. In fact, they felt like a half-size too small. So I'm keeping the pair with green elastic and returning the brown pair.

Fit was good, plenty of toe room... They are difficult to put on and off, and they rub a bit against my leg on top, But this should improve as I break them in.

I liked the boots; however, they were too loose. I have returned them. Looking for similar style and quality boot that is not so loose.

I love Blundstone chelsea boots. My only complaint here is that the color shown is way off from the reality of the boots. They are basically black boots with a brown insert. Zappos picture has them appear to be brown boots with an almost reddish brown insert. I would have preferred if they were as pictured.

This review is mainly for sizing purposes. For 200+$ I think the quality falls a bit short under fine scrutiny but Looks and comfort however are good. 11 is my true size measured out. I am a us 11 men’s in most plain leather boots without padding. Timberland, western, Moctoe work boots etc. also in a chuck taylor. Most other shoes and boots with padding I am a 12 or 11 1/2. My foot it slighlty wide in the toe box area but not enough for a wide size. I ordered the aus10 us 11 and it’s a pretty spot on fit. No breaking in necessary.
