I didn't have time to break these boots in before my vacation. Needless to say I was a tad leery to just take and wear. However, I did just that and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the boots were right away. I wore them for most of two weeks. They are super cute and absolutely comfortable.

Love these boots - my 3rd pair. I usually wear a US size 9.5 and sometimes a 9. I have thin feet with long toes and a weak ankle from an old injury. These boots are perfect for me, offering a lot of support. I work for hours in my vegetable garden in one pair and my feet and ankles are comfortable. I first ordered a size 9.5 - they fit with thick socks, but are a little big. Size 9 fits great, so if you have thin feet and ankles I would suggest ordering down if you are between sizes. I would say though, that these will not suit everyone. Depending on the shape of your feet you may find them hard to get on and off.

Comfortable and easy on and off with pull loops - no laces to tie. Good fitting footbed, but a little loose above the ankle. Be careful with Australian sizes; best to try on before buying. Had to drop a size and a half from Australian sizes to keep my heel from slipping. Read USA sizes on box. Too warm around the ankle for above 80 degree days. Black (500) pair is not "weatherproof" as my brown (550) pair is. Australian good looks are popular, currently.

I don’t wear Chelsea style boots a lot, so I thought they were too big for a minute. They are not. Us11/AU10 worked out perfect. Sneakers are usually Us11.5 for me. I have narrow feet and moderate arches. Wore them around for a whole 4 day trip out of town with walking and standing and public transit, and carrying heavy bags and music equipment. Only the slightest little chafe on my ankle because I didn’t wear long enough socks, so there is a small break in, perhaps.
That said, comfiest boots out of the box ever. Maybe comfiest shoes ever.
Can’t speak to their longevity yet, as they’re new, but they seem sturdy. The leather is super thick. They don’t squeak and have leather defects like my last two pairs of the *other* famous pull tab boot. I’d say Blundstone very likely has a new fan.

They fit like a glove. I wear a 13 bought 12 as suggested. Probably a little overkill for yard work but I like high quality.

Ok, I have become addicted to Blundstones! This is my fifth pair because when I like something, I go all in. I have plantar fasciitis and these boots are the perfect kind of support for me. My foot is flat and the footbed in this boot is quite flat. There's no noticeable hump in the arch that would typically bother me. I decided to wear Blunnies every day and stop worrying about wearing pretty, pointed-toe work shoes that probably messed my feet up in the first place. I'm done with those. These boots fit securely around the ankle and are waterproof so in the winter, they are fabulous. Snow piles, puddles, slush - no problem! I will say that the 585 model didn't break in well for me and I sold that pair. They have a different tread design and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but I stick with the design on these 500s. I also have the women's model from LL Bean and those fit great. They are tighter on the heel and more "secure" in that regard. So buy some Blundstones and wear them every day! No more lacing and no more wet feet! I wear a 9 in Mucks, 9.5 in Eastland, and 10 in Crocs. In Blundstones, I'm a solid AU7. Get em! Oh and there's not a lot of difference in color between the black and the stout brown. My first pair was the brown and I wore them with everything so they will kind of pass for black.

I purchased these boots as a present to myself for Christmas 2021 and from the moment I started wearing, the fit was just perfect. I wear them with jeans as well as formal casual. I travel quite a bit and they have retained the look so far and still provide the necessary arch & sole support. I wear with socks so movement inside the boot is minimal. These are a keeper.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. It's helped with my lower back problems and I haven't worn any other shoe for weeks. It's perfect if you work on your feet or if you are always on the go.

Best boots you'll ever own. I researched them for 2 years before buying. I bought a brown pair and a month later a black pair. Probably the only boots I'll wear from now on!!!

Comfortable right out of the box. The feel is snug as you put them on and take them off. I have a narrow foot as well as a high arch so that may be part of it. The opening of the boot is snug though. I am on my feet for extended periods and no issues at the end of a day of wearing these. Build quality seems solid. No regrets with the purchase.

It tried these shoes on one day after buying a different pair of shoes at another store and i was so upset because i didnt want to spend money on two pairs of really nice shoes. Had I tried these first it would have been my first purchase no doubt. A few months later i got them and love them!!!

Sper comfortable from they day I got them, and we'll made. I usually wear a 7 1/2 women's and order a 5 1/2 blundstone. They're a little loose but perfect with thick socks for winter. Very happy with my purchase And they look good!

Love them. I'm a teacher and wore them the day after they were delivered. Super comfy but the heel will need to be broken in which was only noticed on my commute. I normally wear an 8.5 with narrow feet and they are good with a thin or thicker sock.

Ordered as a gift for my 25 year old son living in Chicago. The boots look stylish and fit very well. As a mom, I don’t always connect to the styles in the 20-something group, but these boots were a winner! My son also reported they were comfortable right out of the box.

I love my new Blundstone boots! I chose the men's boot for comfort and fit. I found it fit better than the women's style which were to narrow and I didn't like the heel. Definitely worth the price.

These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. They keep my feet warm in extreme temperatures and yet they are not heavy and bulky. Highly recommend. I wear a straight womens size 9 and the Blundstone I ordered in a 6. Perfect fit.

I was a bit skeptical of these boots but not anymore. I love these boots, they can be used to walk in the rain/snow/slush or be worn to work as a comfortable flat. I have received so many compliments on these. I would say always wear with long socks and know they are not insulated so your feet may get cold. I went up a size (im usually an 8.5 but got a 9) and they are not big, they fit just right. I got the classic black pair and have not regretted my purchase! Highly recommend!
