Blunnies are the best! This is my second pair, and I plan to buy a third pair in red. They're comfortable, durable, waterproof, and easy to put on and take off. What more can I say?

Blundstones -
This is my first pair of Blundstones and I must say they are very nice fitting and look great. They seem very comfortable and I look forward to getting a lot of use. I have gotten a lot of compliments from woman...

Best Boots!
I am really impressed with these boots. The fit, style and comfort are perfect! I was hesitant to order without trying them on first, but with Zappos return policy and sizing chart, I felt more comfortable. They fit well the first time!

Great boot, great looking!
I bought this boot for my artist-professor husband, who is hard on shoes and also somewhat hard to fit. I bought the same size as his latest hiking boots, good decision. The first time he wore the new Blunnies; one of the boots rubbed the back of his heel and made a blister. Better socks, a shoe tree, and wearing them in solved that problem shortly and he is loving them now. He also gets favorable comments on them from his friends, who now want them! Well-made, good value.

Awesome!!! I am a 50 year young waiter on my feet running around hustling grub and grog. Have had these for about 4 years. Best footwear I've ever owned! Am going to get the (brown) 500 model for more color coordinated comfort. Rock on my peeps!

I can play music in my Blundstones!
I play music professionally which involves standing on my feet with a 12 pound bass guitar on my shoulder for hours at a time. I've been searching for comfort and something in black that would hold up and not be a standard dress shoe and I found it. Great footbed. True to size. Not too hot on your toes. Very little fatigue while wearing them. I get the feeling they will last forever.

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!

My foot is 9 7/8" long. That *normally* translates to a 9 1/2 or a 10 (US Men) in shoe size, depending on how things run. I ordered a 10 first and they were HUGE; 1/2 or more of side to side movement, 1 1/4" or more space at the front. I was swimming in them.
THEN I ordered a size 9. STILL too big. Close, but definitely too big. I have only ever had this happen with 1 other shoe.
I love the build quality, look, etc - just the sizing if way off. At least for me.
Ordering an 8 1/2 to see. I want the boots, just ran way too large.
Thank god for free returns.

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.

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.

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.

If you have a high instep or wide ankles it is hard to pull this boot on. I tried my son's well broken in boot and it felt great but the new boot was so stiff and tight I couldn't get it on.

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.

This is my first pair of Blundstone Boots. I normally wear a size 10 wide so I ordered a 7 1/2. They are a bit tight so I went to the store and tried on a size 8 and they were too large for me. I am keeping the 7 1/2 and hoping they will stretch to fit my feet.

I really like the boot, comfortable even after several hours of running around in them. I am a US size 10 Women's, and tend to be a bit wider in the toe joint area. These fit very well at a size 7 1/2 AUS. They appear well made. Fairly plain in appearance and not sure they are worth the cost. However, I like them and will keep them.

I bought these for my 14 yr old son who lives in his chelsea boots. They're so old and beat up that they're splitting at the seams but he doesn't care. I read that Blundstone makes good boots, especially for wide feet. I bought the equivalent of a size 9 as my son's current boots are a US 8.5. He complained they were so big that his heels were floating. I exchanged them for a size 8.5 (7.5 in Aussie). They mostly fit but seem a tad snug in the width. Ugh. I'm going to buy some shoe stretch spray now to try to make them a tad wider.
