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.

I have had my eye on these for awhile, so glad I ordered them (happy Birthday to me). I had to order up a full size, but once I had the correct size I love them! So comfortable, look great, easy on and off. I bought them in preparation for a trip to Europe, I think they are going to be perfect.

I finally had to retire my old Blunnies, which had I wore into the ground over a decade-my all time favorites, the 500 originals direct from Oz. I then bought a new pair a few years ago, the 1463 (500 series) and they felt like a size too big! I am a size 9 US Womens and the AU size 6 used to be a perfect fit...
I recently tried the 510 and was devastated to find the 5.5 too short, and the 6 too big! Again with the 1448, 063...after reading all the reviews, I tried the 550’s and voila!! Thank you to Zappos for quick and easy returns. I believe all it took was the thin extra insert for a perfect fit. I also purchased 558 which are perfect as well. I will say my old Blunnies soles finally fell apart, but after over 10 years and daily barn use. I am hoping these will last as long-these boots appear well made with leather lining. So cute!!

Very high quality, very stylish. Would buy another pair in another color. These will be my default footwear next winter in SLC. Not insulated, but will keep me dry in the parking lot slop and still look presentable for work, shopping, etc.
I normally wear a woman’s size 12 medium, and the Zappos suggested size was perfect.

I read a review on here stating that even though the person had a wide foot, that the leather was supple enough to conform and the shoe is comfortable. Sorry pal, you don't have a wide foot. As someone with a wide foot, I couldn't even slip these on. I won't knock the shoe as it looked great and is probably high quality, but if you have a wide foot I'd look elsewhere.
