These are the best shoes ever. Added a drugstore insole and climbed a mountain in them. After about a year you should recondition the leather.

Love these! Wore inside the house for a few hours just to confirm the comfort. Think they will break in easily! They are not even terribly stiff around the ankle.

I love these boots. Very comfortable and will look good with anything. I'm so happy my daughter introduced me to Blundstones.

Of interest. The first pair I ordered came in a plain brown shoebox with nothing inside but the boots. Wish I had taken a pic but had already sent back for an exchange.
This second pair came in a Blundstone shoebox with extra inserts, care instructions and warranty info. I sized up 1/2 a size and they fit perfectly!
Wondering if the first order was counterfeit???

I think these Blundstones will be awesome when they are the right size. I normally wear a 7.5 and in reading the reviews, they state "true to size" so that's what I ordered. Had to send back.
Unfortunately, I ordered them for a trip and the new pair won't arrive in time to take em.

Very nice boots. Originally ordered in 10 but too short and had to return and order 11. Super cute with skinny jeans.

The size is great. The fit is great. They were comfortable right out of the box and they look GOOD. I waited a long time on buying Blundstones and I'm so glad I got these ones.

The fit is great, I like the color I chose, the style works for how I use them - they work very well as my work shoes in the vineyard.

Initially bought 8.5 women’s- my usual
size. They were too short in length, however. Exchanged for 9 and they fit perfectly. Plenty of room in toe box.

Love these Blundstones. I wear a size 7.5 in every brand of shoe I know, so that is what I ordered, but had to send them back and get an 8. Makes sense since they say that going up a 1/2 size doesn't change the length, so an 8 was perfect. I did put some insoles in them and make them a little less roomy inside. They feel lightweight and look awesome. I love the walnut color.

Totally worth it!! I tried the 500 and the 550 and prefer the fit of the 550 ( a little snugger and cushier ) I ordered to fit my slightly larger food, and with the included insole both shoes felt great from day one. Stiff as expected, but breaking in very easily.

These boots are quite an investment! Was worried at first that my gift to my son wouldn't work out. It took some time for them to break in - but they did and he reports they just keep getting better and better. So stick with these.

My larger Right foot is slipping a bit in the heel. I am wearing them around the house trying to soften the leather. They are a bit stiff. The smaller left foot loves the boot, very interesting this boot. I believe they are the correct size, as I’ve tried several others made by Blundstone and these were the most
comfortable. I have a size 11 USA foot. I purchased an 8 AU. I have a narrow, AA foot and usually have to find the best fitting size M as there are not many
narrow boots. I usually wear boots in winter and always with a wool sock. I am wearing a mid weight wool by Smartwool in a knee height that seems to be working well with the boot. These are very fitted and don’t bunch up while pulling on my boot. I purchased them several years ago on Zappos.

I wear an 11 in 95% of my boots/shoes and this is no exception. Fit is right on even with a winter sock (yes, it is a bit looser with a light weight sock, but nothing an insole would not address). The only reason for the 4 stars in style, is well... they aren't exactly the most style forward. They are what they are - I was looking for what they are and they delivered on that.

Got them in the mail today and love them! Immediately wore them shopping for about two hours. Super comfy right out of the box. There is a spot that rubs on the back of both of my heels but I feel like that will be solved once they are broken in. I'm normally a size 10, but have wide feet so decided to get the 10.5 and it was a good choice. I wouldn't call them narrow, but if you got flippers like me I would def do a half size up.

This is a very versatile pair of boots. They are extremely comfortable after break in and I can wear them on camping trips and around town. I have done some light hiking in them which worked out great. The soles offer a lot of cushion and the insoles can be doubled up for more support or a better fit. I have gotten these extremely dirty and they wipe clean super easy. All of my other shoes have been pouting in the corner for about a month now.

I got these after getting the black ones (which have worn out so nicely). These brown ones were a lot more comfortable than the black ones, for some reason, right out of the box. The brown is a nice color; goes well with khakis, jeans, anything olive green, and even greys.

These are easy to slip on and wear all day. I really like them. They are not warm though!

These are absolutely my new favorite boots to wear on our small farm. Because they are fairly snug at the upper ankle, nothing gets in from above which is wonderful. - nothing more irritating than having to take your boot off outside to dump debris!
They don't have any arch support, but I added an aftermarket arch only that works. I have very high arches and pull on boots can be impossible but the elastic makes these work well. I might even try the taller ones next time. The first day I wore them, my feet felt fatigued after about 4 hours, but each day I add hours and now I wear them all day. I measured my foot with a ruler and purchased the size based on the measurement. That worked perfect.
Love these boots!

These are my fourth pair over the years.
I absolutely love Blunnies. They feel great, and look fantastic with almost every outfit.
Blundstones are the best!

Upon receiving this first pair model boot, I noticed some of the inner packing material and label information was missing. It also appeared the first pair were also worn, no biggy, tried them on and they seemed ok with the left boot slightly irregular. After a couple days I returned them for exchange after experience a small lump in the sole of the same left boot. The first pair should not have even been sold as they were defective. A few days later I received the second pair as an exchange and this pair is a homerun!
How I feel about this item? FIVE STARS! I want to deduct a star for Zappos reselling what was clearly a previous return, however their customer service is the best, top notch and will have me purchasing again at Zappos in the near future.
SIZING: This seems to be an issue for many people. I ordered size 10.5D US. To put it all in perspective, my measured shoe size is 10D. The only time I wear size 10D is with dress shoes. Brooks running shoes I wear a size 10D US. Vans Old Skools I wear a 10.5D US. Asolo hiking boots I wear a 10.5 US. Clarks dress shoes and Wallabees I wear a 9.5 UK. Flip flops I wear a 10D US. Ariat Rincon work boot I wear a 10D US.
***** All said and done, 10.5D US is a perfect size for me. I hope this information will help someone.
Yes, I would buy again!
