Customer Reviews Blundstone BL550 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Solid comfort with added pleasure once they break in. Good every day for my job, but a little sad the soles wear moderately quicker when used as dailies. I had to get my last pair for around town. Looks great with most any type pants. Dress up or down. Some break in time should be expected for entry. Enjoy!

These are some dreamy boots. I wear them everywhere and always since I got them. They are pricey, and so I hope they prove durable over at least a year or two. I ordered my usual size, and they fit perfect.

This is my second pair of Blunnies. They are my go to boot for slogging the world. I love them, they are comfy, durable and so sturdy.

Just received these Blundstone 550's at my door yesterday. First, thanks to Zappos for super fast, free next day shipping. This is my first pair of Blundstones and so far, I have nothing but love for them. The fit was perfect - I wear 8.0-8.5 US and the AU 7 were just right on my feet. The boots came with two pairs of insoles to customize the fit individually. Quality overall appears to be outstanding - the leather is soft and pliable, but durable, the outsoles are shock absorbing and comfortable. They are easy to put on with the dual pull tabs. I am very impressed with the boots. Am considering another pair to keep at work. Make sure that you go a size down when going from US sizes and don't forget: the AU half-sizes are just wider than the full size - they are not longer. I almost made this mistake.

These boots are great. I'm on to my second pair of this brand. I use them around horses. I like that they don't get dirt in them because they are tapered at the top. They're easy on/off and comfortable. I put insoles in for support and to take up room, as they are wide being a pull-on type shoe. They're durable as well.

I've been looking for a pair of boots like these for years - functional, supportive, comfortable on my aching feet. I wear them almost every day, as they are very easy to put on and off while still offering the full protection of a sturdy boot. They are very well made, and look new after two months. No loose threads, very scuff resistant, very durable and flexible. They are also surprisingly lightweight. My only cons are that they took about two hours to break in (!) and after walking in them for 12 hours one day my feet were somewhat sore. An added bonus is that they are very warm, which I attribute to the very nice leather lining. We're in the midst of a truly brutal winter, the coldest in at least a hundred years. These boots have given a lot of traction on slippery surfaces, and keep me warm without heavy socks. An unexpected plus is that they came with an extra set of insoles for people wanting or needing extra cushioning. These are placed under the standard insole. Although they looked very thin, they did add cushioning, but they also seemed to crowd my foot in the instep, so I took them out again. All in all, these little boots are great! Worth every cent.

Very prompt delivery service. I had to return to product due to sizing issues (I ordered the wrong size for my boyfriend. The process was smooth and my replacement product was delivered in less than one week. Great service!

This is my second pair of Blundstone's. They fit great and are very comfortable. They last a very long time and are a good investment for keeping my feet warm in the winter.

Love this shoe! Comfortable from the start. I ordered my size and a half size larger. Both felt good but I stuck with my actual size. No break in time was necessary for me.

Great boots. It took a couple of days to get used to wearing the chelsea style boots, but after that, they are super comfortable. The only complaint I have with them is that my feet tend to sweat really bad. I've found to fix this, I removed one of the two provided inserts, to allow more room for my feet to breathe. So far, so good. Also, this color brown is VERY dark.

This is an excellent product overall. The boots are very well made and provide terrific support. They broke in quickly, even though the lined leather upper is quite thick,the boots are surprisingly lightweight. Heed the difference in Aussie size compared to US.I'm usually a size 9 US, went for the 8 Aus and it's a perfect fit. My first experience with Blundstone and I'm delighted. Will likely get another pair.

These boots are very good for someone like me who needs to be in and out of places where no shoes are allowed. They are the easiest boots to slip on and off and of course feel great on my feet the rest of the time. Very good looking especially with jeans or khakis.

I had an older pair of 500s and the soles were crumbling. I contacted Blundstone in Tasmania and they were very responsive and ended up sending me a pair of new 550s as a replacement. Customer service was great and they stood by their product. My daughters, age 6 and 9, have been wearing the kids boots for years. They take a beating and look great after a quick polish. One pair has been worn constantly for about 4 years now...there is no other kid shoe I have seen that will last that long! I like the 550s much better than the 500s. Very comfortable with the leather lining. Apparently the Blundstone boot is not made in Tasmania, but if you have ever run a business there are compromises that need to be made to offer a quality product at a good price. They are a very high quality boot.

This is my second pair of blumstone boots. The first pair lasted me 10 years of constant wearing. They are by far the best slip on boot on the market. They are durable, comfortable, stylish, and top quality. Will be a long time wearer of this brand.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He needed a shoe for work (in business side of construction) where he could look good in office setting yet still be able to feel comfortable and safe wearing them on a jobsite. These shoes are great for that...not too casual not to fancy. He says they are very comfortable and fit true. A quick note: when you first get them, they look a bit like galoshes when you put them on under pants due to their shape. He was a little put off by this but don't worry, after a bit of wear and tear, they actually get more attractive and the galoshes-ness goes away.

Im not sure how this style was supposed to fit. But, they were too big everywhere. I bought a pair of Blundstone boots 8 years ago. I now need a half size bigger. I purchased this style a half size bigger. They fit like I had ordered a mans shoe.

Fit true to size in comparison to all my other blunnies... But the color is just a bit meh.

Material felt great, solid and well made. width was a little narrow and I would recommend order 1/2 size larger if you have wider feet. Arch support cold b better.

It took 3 tries to get a decent fit. These run small.

I normally wear a US womens 7.5 and I have a bunion so lately I've been getting wide shoes. I tried these 550 boots in a US 7.5, 8, and 8.5 as I was told they run small and that half sizes arent any longer, they are just wider. I ended up keeping the 8. They are perfectly wide and the 8.5 was slightly too wide in the ankle and loose over the top of the foot. I also got another dressier style (style 1671 heeled chelsea) and that one I ended up keeping the 8.5 for width. Additionally, I tried the "dress chelsea" in an 8 and it was too big. Each style seems to have it's own sizing, but Zappos was really good about exchanges. I'd maybe try for sizing in a store if you live bear any and then you can order online.

Great boot, but the color in the photo is a few shades off the real thing - natural or fluorescent - toward the warmer (red) end of the spectrum. Be careful if that matters to you. This is on top of the inherent Blundstone homeliness (Run Forrest, Run!) that you may or may not embrace.

I normally wear US size 8 more most shoe brands and for these 550s I had to get 1 size smaller to allow for stretch and break in if you are planning to use it for any form of long walks or hikes. It is breaking in well !

I’m not sure I agree with the true to size reviews. My fit 99.9% of the time is a women’s US 8M. After measuring my feet according to Blundstone’s website, I ordered a women’s 8 US and it was too short and too tight. I chose to exchange it for a women’s 9 US. This was too long and too wide even with my orthotics which are quite thick. So now I’ve sent the 9’s back and ordered the women’s 8.5 US. Even though the measurement indicates the length is the same as the 8 but they are apparently a wider width. So hopefully third times a charm ?. I sure love the personnel who do customer service for ZAPPOS, excellent customer service. Love Zappos.

I bought the 585 a few months back and they are Awesome, and I was thinking these would be the same but the leather is a little deformed on the top of the foot and the instep seems much tighter than the 585s. Hopefully they will stretch out. Zappos Service and delivery is amazing.

Loved the walnut brown color. Fit true to size. I usually wear a 12 and 12’s fit me. I did end up sending them back. A little too bulky for what I was looking for, but very well made shoe.
