Customer Reviews Blundstone BL500 Original 500 Chelsea Boot

Attractive, light, comfortable. Would give five stars but the foot bed insert comes out easily when you take them off. Not a big deal.

These are wonderful boots. Sturdy, comfortable, and sure to be long lasting. They're versatile and can be dressed up or down. The only reason I've given them four stars is that they're a challenge to break in. But all good things are worth the effort!

Very nice boot very comfortable just kind of expensive.

I know I am going to love them once they are broke in. The are a bit tight/stiff right now, but the kind of boot that once they are broke in I am sure they will be my go-to shoe.

These are such great boots - this is actually my second pair. I wear them walking, hiking, and just going shopping. The traction is great and I can get a thick pair of socks in them, too. My one issue is that the insert they come with has NO padding and I always take it out and put in something with a little more cushion.

Make sure you get them big enough. I sent my first pair back for a 1/2 size larger. I think I'm gonna love these boots. Wearing them with wool socks will be perfect! Giving a 4 star because I've only worn them for a week.

I have narrow feet and with the addition of a mesh insole ,they fit perfectly . Normally a US 81/2 B or C. I ordered Blundstone, size 71/2. Hard to find men's shoes or boots in narrow widths, otherwise I'd give them 5 stars

Yes--at first, these boots are hard to get on. And, yes--at first, they feel very tight across the arch. But, I do believe they will loosen and soften as I wear them. My daughter bought a pair a year ago and they have worn in wonderfully--so I will be keeping these. I am a size 6 1/2--7 and the Australian size 4 fit me perfectly.

Design and produce a better Blundstone? Bean could do this. I'd want a cushier innersole, I swapped their's out for a better one. (Merrill's generic innersoles are always comfortable right out of the box. ), I'd want a resole-able version to make them more "planet friendly", offer a women's specific last for the women's models. (I have a narrower foot). I've only had these a couple weeks, but their break-in and fit are much more suitable than the stiffer 550 whose added leather lining was problematic, (poor fit, blisters). Owning a pull-on, wear-anywhere boot has inspired me to part with unnecessary footwear-- which is a good thing.

I compound dislocated my left ankle several years ago and it doesn't bend so I love the elastic for easy on and off for a boot without a zipper otherwise I wouldn't be able to get wear this boot.

Many of my co-workers are very happy wearing these trendy boots but I held off buying a pair until I could try them on primarily because of size translations. The sale associate at L.L. Bean was very helpful with finding the best size for me. I like the boots, the fit is good, the style is fine, but, for me, wearing them for six to eight hours a day is hard on my feet. I do wear compression socks and will be looking for socks with more thickness in the foot.

well-made, sturdy, comfortable, good-looking, good fit

Comfortable, more then I thought they would be, run a little big in my opinion, I mean they seem wonderfully overpriced but all in all are pretty nice so far so I guess I'll consider them a treat. Feet stay dry and they aren't heavy.
