Customer Reviews Blundstone BL500 Original 500 Chelsea Boot

I love that ll bean carries blundstones! Ive wanted these for a long time and the convenience of having an ll bean down the road from me inspired me to purchase them (knowing possible returns would be easy). I am typically a women's 7/7.5 and I bought a 4. I couldn't be happier my foot isn't squished even with bulky wool socks. I can tell there will be a little breaking in in the top of my arch, and heel. My only small complaint is I wish there was a tiny more arch support - I usually wear danskos and these are as supportive as my clogs. Not a dealbreaker though!

I wasn't sure how it would work out to order 7.5 size and have it equate to my normal US size 10. Sizing is perfect and they are very comfortable. I wore Smart wool socks today, 25 degrees outside and my feet were warm and comfortable. FYI: The boots are not insulated, however, they are very comfortable and I love that they slide right on. I would recommend them to a friend!

These are some tough boots. I am a mid-west farmer and very hard on boots. I have been threw many brands and never found any as strong and durable as these. I've abused this pair for over a year and it honestly looks as if I will get another year from them. They are comfortable and easy to slip on (you have to grab the loop at the back of the boot and slide your foot in). I wear size 11 US. and bought these in size 10 they are a perfect fit. If I ever wear these out you can bet I'll be purchasing another pair.

Love these - had brown pair but needed black ones too

First off this is my 4th pair of Blundstone boots. I purchased this pair because I wanted the black color. I'm a size 9-9 1/2 so I went with the size 6.5 because I will be wearing these in the fall & winter with wool socks. The fit is great- No rubbing in weird places, not heavy, easy to get on and off. I did purchased 2 of the four boots from the Blundstones website in the summer boot style and love them too. 5 Star boot!

Great boot. Comfortable to the max. Cool looking in a rustic sort of way. Easy to pull on with the tabs front and back. Considered sending back at first because I wasn't sure the style was what I wanted, ---and very, very glad I changed my mind and kept them. I love this boot and highly recommend.

Be aware that these are Australian sizing. He usually gets an E width but these fit fine! (They only come in D width.) He loves them and says they're more comfortable than wearing slippers!

First off- I wear a 9.5 in USA sizes. The 6.5 is the size I ordered in these boots and they fit perfectly! I have very wide feet and years of running on them have made it hard to find shoes that actually fit and feel comfortable. These are comfortable from day 1! They are so durable too! I have worn them in snow, rain and sunshine. Any scratches buff right out! I love that the insoles come out easily for airing or drying if your feet get sweaty. I have worn them with and without socks- both are comfortable. I wish that LL Bean carried the Chelsea 500 in the mixed light and dark brown color. I have tried the other styles and they don't fit like these! SO happy I purchased! Would absolutely recommend.

Very comfortable after a short break in period (few days). These boots can be worn when dressing up a little and when you want to be casual. I have had numerous compliments on them. I purchased the black but will probably purchase the brown sometime in the future.

I wear a size 8.5-9 US Women's, and the 5.5 fits well. They are well-cushioned and easy to wear all day long.
