Comfortable and warm for walking from train station to my office in Chicago downtown area. It took a while to find the right fit and size. I had to go one size small for the boot. It goes well on Khaki business casual. I even tried having it on entire day at my office and it was comfortable.

Good looking. High quality. Comfortable all day. My usual size is US 14. Purchased UK/Aus 13 and even with thick socks these boots fit perfectly.

Thought about these for yrs. Wish I had bought a pair sooner. Have had them about a month. So far, great boot. I found they ran a bit small so went up a size.

I have wide feet that are hard to find comfortable shoes for. I went up a half size and they fit perfectly.

Love these! I wear a standard women size 6, med width. Wasn't sure about the fit, but was really surprised. The boot fits great, u do need to open up the ankle to get your foot in, but the boot just wraps around my foot like it was made for me! Not tight or uncomfortable. Got these in black to wear for work. I have worn them everyday for about 3 weeks now (no break-in necessary) they are very durable, the leather quality is great. Also, these r not heavy boots - feet r not tired at end of day. Also I put my own insoles inside (yes u can remove the insoles they come with) I would love to get these same boots in the brown eventually.

I bought these for a Christmas present for my daughter. It's her second pair. She loves them and talks about how great they are so much I bought myself a pair too. Also, the sales women at the Charlottsville store are amazing. They went above and beyond the normal customer service. Well done ladies!

A very comfortable boot! I recently wore these on a fall leaf peeping trip. Wore several days in a row. From hiking to walking around town. I can honestly say I am pleased with my purchase! The only thing that I with I would have different is the color. A little darker than I expected.

These are by far the best leather all-purpose boots I've ever had. I live in far northern New York and foul weather is half my year. Love these!!

I normally wear 7.5 - 8 in most shoes and boots and do not have a wide foot but I do have a high instep. I ordered a size 5 and they are perfect. The stout brown is a deep chocolate brown that looks great with jeans which is what I was looking for. Very happy with my purchase and can’t wait to wear them in the fall. I also bought the 2036 slip on shoe in rustic brown. They were a little tight across the top of my foot but after wearing them for about an hour they loosened a bit and are very comfortable now.

These are the originals and the real deal - and exactly what I was looking for. They are not ready-wear for a 10 mile hike right out of the box but they will break in beautifully, last forever, and look amazing while doing it. Love them and wish I'd bought them a year ago when I started thinking abou tit.

Was looking for a boot and saw this on the LL Bean website. Reviews were positive, so I took a chance. I considered the size chart carefully - I am 10M in US which, according to the chart, equated to a size 9 Australian. It is correct. The boot fits well, and is comfortable. It was a bit snug to start for me, but after a few wearings it stretched and opened up. I think the boot is good looking too. I wear them everyday in the colder temperatures with my jeans - working outside or running errands. Highly recommend.

Love this pull on work boot! The leather is soft but sturdy. I wear a size 10 but ordered a 10 1/2 for extra width as suggested. Works great! Will buy these again!

This is my second pair of Blundstone 500s -- I wear them every day for rain walks to rugged hikes to dress up. They wear like iron. My first pair, worn for years now, is still in good conditions. I just wanted a newer looking pair for dressier days. Note that it takes a few wears to soften the ankle openings on a new pair. And a replacement insole (Blundstone or Superfeet) every year keeps your boots comfy. Highly recommended. And LL Bean customer service on any item, including this, can't be beat!

Sizing was perfect. From reviews, thought they would take a bit to break in but they didn't. Were very comfortable right from the beginning. Definitely a little pricey but I think well worth it.

I'm an 11 in Nike sneakers, 9.5 wide in Allen Edmonds, 10.5 in Merrell, 9 in Dunlop boots, and 10 in Muck Boots. Now with that out of the way, I really like my Blundstones. Comfortable and getting better every day (some break in required) and I don't feel like they are loose or insecure being a slip on. I will end up with multiple pairs in the future!
I'd also recommend:

These boots were comfortable the moment I put them on for the first time. I wear them all day, standing a great deal of the time and at the end of the day my feet are still comfortable. These also look great with pants and skirts. Love these boots!
