Customer Reviews Blundstone BL500 Original 500 Chelsea Boot

I have been buying Blundstones for years. My latest pair- and my wife's too- disintegrated in the heel after a couple of years and not from any unusually hard use. Whatever material they are using in the heels becomes grainy and the heel just collapses. Buyer beware.

Way too small Im an 8 and they are very short.

True to size! I ordered a 6.5 but realized it was way too small when my front toes were touching the front - felt more like a 6 which makes sense since the half sizes for these shoes apparently only apply to width. Overall fit is roomy so it's not really supposed to be tight - no need to break them in. Pretty comfortable and can be worn with thicker socks but adding some inserts would make it a lot more comfortable and be more snug on days where you feel like wearing thinner socks.

This is my 3rd pair of Blunnies..only because my feet with time are growing .. these boots last forever ! Comfort, style and functional..what more can you ask for? I wear a women's 8. I purchased the 5.5 (AU) and they fit perfect from the first day.. there is some breaking in time, usually a week (wear them everywhere).. then it's like little pillows of joy for your body! Cheers! #gratitude

I got these initially for my waitressing job. I’m on my feet for 9 hours at a time and these stand up to the task. They are durable, comfortable and stylish! They are a bit on the roomy side but for a tough boot like this I wouldn’t want them tight fitting. Great buy overall.

I am an 8.5-9 foot and I ordered an AU size 6 in these which is equivalent to a women’s 9. The length is perfect. These boots do fit wide so a thick sock is a must or an insole. The original insole that comes with this boot is thin and although supportive, Not supportive enough. I used an Ugg insert and these feel like heaven! The insert makes the boot much more snug and supportive. These boots are like wearing sneakers..extremely versatile shoe and worth the money.

My 5th pair. I love them, needless to say. I wear them for dress, casual, travel and when they get beat up, I wear them in my clay studio.

Light weight, durable, comfy, not a lot of arch support witch is a good thing in my book. I wear these to work in the ER. Best all around boot/shoe I've ever owned!

Best boots I've ever owned. Very lightweight and comfortable. They are very easy to slip on and off - great for travel. This is my third pair, not that I needed a third, because they last so long. I like the brown because it's a very dark brown that almost looks black.

These boots are fantastic. I just got back from a trip to Stockholm and a lot of people are wearing these in the city. Great for walking on cobblestone streets. I am a solid size 10 US and I ordered 1/2 size down, fits perfectly. Great urban boots!

This is my fourth pair of Blunnies, and when they're worn out, in about four or five years, I'll buy my fifth. I wear a U.S. 8.5, and I find the Bundstone BL500 to be true to size. No break in period. Room to breathe for my toes. Waterproof up to the bottom of the brown gusset. Good traction. I love these shoes. And I love Zappos for their no hassle return policy. Great service. Good product.

My shoes look good, slip on and off easily, are comfortable and as this is not my first pair I know they hold up a long time.

If you are a barn cleaning horseback rider, these boots are a necessity. Comfortable and sturdy. If your feet are narrow, don't pick this style. They are wide and a little loose.

These are replacement boots for the pair I wore down to the soles after 6 years, and I love, love, love them. They are comfortable, waterproof, great-looking. I couldn't be happier! Oh, to note, the Australian sizes are really different and you must be careful to get the size that fits. I'm a woman's 10.5 and a man's 9, and the Australian 8.5 fits me perfectly.

This shoe is the bomb.com. I wear mine almost every day and I get compliments all the time. I can wear it with skirts and jeans.

Excellent shoes! I purchased them to wear to/from and at work on snowy days during the winter. They were comfortable enough to start wearing every day. I have experienced less back and foot fatigue than with shoes costing twice as much. I have a very wide foot, so these run wide. They look good with khakis and even better with jeans. I recommend them.

Great pair of boots - got my first pair over 12 years ago. They lasted me 7 years before the sole finally (molded rubber sole) finally fell off. They got a lot of use. This is a rugged, tough, yet good looking boot that can withstand whatever you throw at it...be that a pair of khakis in a casual environment, or digging a ditch in your back yard

I've had Blundstones for about 15 years, and if I'm not wearing flip flops, the Blundstones are on my feet. Follow the sizing recommendations and you'll be happy. The exterior of the boots are well made and detailed, durable and a nice dark, brown matte finish. The interior is less polished, without a liner on the leather, raw edges on the elastic sides, and a basic footbed. Don't let this bother you. They break in quickly; wear them two full days and they\'ll be an extension of your body. Because they're slip on's they are slightly loose, which allows them to breath much better than a regular boot. Not so loose that you'll be tripping, but a nice loosely tied shoe kind of loose. I've worn them to regular office jobs daily, "dressed up" in black ones, framed houses in them, hiked 10 miles in the Rockies many times, wear them with short socks and shorts in the summer (Aussie style), and with thick socks in the winter. They do it all. dig 'em.

It took me weeks trying to get these boots from a company that is supposed to be reputable. After three tries and three wrong sizes...I just gave up. Then a friend told me about Zappos. I called, I ordered and I finally received the perfect pair of boots. I lived in Australia and have worn these Blunnies for years. Thank you for getting my order right .......the first time!

My son and daughter in law told me about zappos...I was hunting for a pair of the original Blundstones for a Christmas gift to give to my sister-i have to say that it was a complete pleasure when i placed my order-not only was the rep helpful, but thoughtful, kind and just a regular nice person. The delivery/return policy rocks. No charge. No muss no fuss. Greatest deal going. i highly recommend this company-and will totally order from them again!

This is my second pair of "Blundies", the first having lasted ten years. They are the ultimate shoe for rainy, muddy or wintry weather. That said, either my foot grew or the size is slightly smaller because these are a tight fit, but will stretch a bit. Blundies are the best.
