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!

These were for my husband. He says they are true to size, very comfortable and go with everything. He's very pleased with them. :)

My son usually wears a USA size 9 shoe, I ordered a size 8 in the Blundstone following the directions for Australian sizing equivalents. It was a full size too big. Son is happily in a size 7 and still has room for heavy socks. Aside from have to reorder because of sizing issues, he is very happy with the boots which look stylish, slip on and off easily and can withstand rain and muck of winter.

My foot is high across the top - not the arch - and finding a shoe that doesn't bind or rub is difficult. The boot look great and once they're on they also fit great. Enough room for a medium weight sock without any problem. BUT getting them on is a bit pf a challenge, the shaft is a little narrow and it make putting them on without a shoehorn an athletic exercise. I think that this will be less of a problem once they have softened a little from wear. Aside from that, a nice comfortable boot that is also stylish.

These were exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable boots, that looked good, that I could wear in all weather. They were stiff the first 2 times I wore them but they broke in nicely and now feel like sneakers. I normally wear a 10.5 EEE shoe. The 10.5 in Blundstone was too short and too narrow. I sized up to 11.5 and the fit was perfect. Because of my wide feet, I have difficulty buying shoes. I’m pleased these fit great.

I normally wear a 10.5 EEE in US sizes due to a high instep. Ordered a 10.5 but it was too narrow, which I suspected was possible but I was surprised it was also too short. 11.5 US fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and I can feel them breaking in with each wear. Very comfortable and look great.

I consider Blundtstones to be the perfect shoes. Comfortable, durable, and stylish. I look forward to wearing these for years to come!

Great boots - totally worth the price. These are great for a night out or for hiking in the woods in Oregon. 10/10

So much better than I ever imagined! First - they are SO light! I really dislike heavy shoes, and these are lightweight and still ridiculously rugged and durable. The fit was spot on, the color is exactly as expected, and they go with everything casual. Great on the farm, great for urban wandering, great for running errands or walking dogs....... I may never take them off.

Good fit with spacious toe box. Boots were comfortable to wear with no break in period needed. Although not waterproof, boots are very water resistant. Soles provide good cushioning when walking on hard surfaces. Easy to get on and off but once on they are securely on your foot.

Second pair, still have first in black after 10 years. Extremely comfortable and durable. Did need the optional insole so try both ways.

This is true to an Ausi/UK 5.5 BUT that makes it a true to size 7.5 (here it says 8.5 but that is the wrong conversion).
Very comfortable work boot!!!! Non-skid. Keep the leather waxed and they last for years

The sizing chart was key to pulling of the blind purchase for my gal...she dug the fit and feel of the Blunny. The 550 rules them all!

I've been looking for shorter "rain" boots for the weather in Boston since I tend to walk more than use public transit. A friend at school recommended these. They are quite stiff right now, but like any new leather boot, they will break in nicely. I would highly recommend them. They have kept my feet dry through the rain, and they have kept me from slipping on the wet snow covered streets.

I have wide feet and was very skeptical about purchasing these since they don't offer EE or wider. After looking around, I found that their half sizes account for width. These fit great and the width is just right.

I had a pair of Blundies for about 15 years. They finally gave way, and I have been saving up for a replacement....they more expensive than they used to be! I just ordered and received mine, and my feet are SO happy! They look and feel just like my old ones. Very cute and comfy, and so easy to pull on and off.
Also a big shout out to Zappos for the most awesome customer service!

Really enjoying my Blundstone 550! Love the look as well as the secure feeling I gain while walking in my boots - good traction and very comfortable! I'm getting used to wearing a short boot around my ankle but quickly adjusting. My ankles are warm in the cool fall mornings!

Fit perfect, especially with the extra arch support that was included. The only reason I returned was for the women’s dress boot was a little more feminine.

My feet are challening to fit and my new boots were just too tight so I returned them for one size larger. The phone help I received was excellent and I have my perfect boots. I love Blundstone and have worn my them for a few years. I'm thrilled to find them on Zappos. I will keep coming back.
