Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Durable boot for travel which works with pants, but could also work with tights and a dark dress for a comfortable evening outfit. My husband and I both own a pair. We had to experiment with different socks to find the thickness that worked best. Shoe was comfortable from first wearing after we resolved the sock issue. I’m sure I will have these for years...the rest of my life.

great shoes-- classic and comfortable!

This is my first pair of Blundstones, and I tried several pairs of boots to find the right size (thank you Zappos for making it easy). Since I found the right size, I am very happy with these boots. They are super-comfortable, and I wear them a lot. Easy on and off. I’ve worn them in wet weather, and they are water resistant — I didn’t walk through puddles, but it was raining, and I was out in it for about 20 minutes. My feet were dry. Incidentally, I bought a pair for my seven year old daughter, and she loves them. I would definitely buy another pair.

My 4th pair of Blundstone boots! Fit and quality are perfect!

These boots are comfortable right out of the box. As other reviews shared, and I found to be true, if your go up a half size - the size stays the same but the boot toe box is wider. For example size 10 is a medium width, but a size 10.5 is really a size 10 wide(or at least wider than the regular 10). Using this advise, I was able to find the perfect size. Arch support doesn't seem to exist so I bought insole with arches to replace the insoles which are easy to remove. Please know that the company does include a couple of extra insoles if you need to adjust the fit which is really nice and I've never seen before. Just breaking them in, but I am really please with this boot. I bought men's as I needed a wider fit, but they are really unisex. I tried 7 different brands before choosing these so you can see I am hard to please.

It takes a little to break them in (one wearing should do it), but they are very comfortable. I love that they are good for rain. Easy on, easy off.

Been wearing them for years. Currently have three pairs. Stylish any season. Perfect for rainy days. Blunnies are a wardrobe staple.

This is my third pair of Blundstones and I love them. There isn't any insulation in them so I order a size up and put lambswool liners in the bottom and they're my go to fall/winter/spring shoe. They're comfortable enough for a light hike and cool enough for a casual night out. I highly recommend them!

Best boots ever. Very light, easy to keep looking nice, and super durable. My last pair lasted over eight years, wearing them every day that it snowed or rained in the winter. Plus, no laces!

I bought these boots as a Christmasgift for my granddaughter and she just loves them. She says thereis onetight spot but being leather, she thinks they willwork out fine.

I purchased the same size I would get in Chucks. In most shoes I am a 10-10.5 US, Chuck I wear a 9.5 US. I initially purchased these as a 9 UK and they were too lose all around. I exchanged them for a 8.5 UK and the fit pretty great, took a few days of all day wearing to get them broken in.

LOVE. Cute and functional.

Initially upon trying on the shoe they felt super tight/narrow and I immediately got blisters on the back of my heel (which was expected for a new leather boot). I imagine the boot will stretch in time and perfectly form to my foot so I am not worried about it. Otherwise they are extremely comfortable and I can tell they are made with high quality. Love them already and I cant wait to own them for many many years to come!

Love these boots. Comfortable, warm, durable, stylish, and they go with everything. I am a true US 7.5, and I sometimes go up to a US 8. I read that they should fit a bit loose, so I first ordered a US 8 and my feet felt crammed and my toes hit the end of the boot. That has never happened to me in a US 8 before. I then ordered a US 9, and they fit perfectly even though I have never worn bigger than a US 8 before! I'd definitely recommend going up a size. There was a little bit of rubbing on the back of my legs the first time I wore them, but I imagine that once I break them in, that won't happen anymore. They kept my feet warm in 20 degrees, and I imagine they will keep them warm in even colder weather. Love these boots!

Absolutely love!! They feel true to size!’

This is my 4th pair of Blundstones. They last, are waterproof, and fit my wide foot.

Most Dansko models fit like they were made for me at size 41. Same goes for these in AU7.5 (half sizes mean wide in Australia). The quality is great and they could not fit more perfectly. If and when they start to break in so much that they get a little loose, I can just add in an extra pair of insoles they included. I initially balked at the price, but hope to have these waterproof(!) boots for years.

I gave 4 stars on comfort because I have worn them outside to loosen them up. I replaced the inserts with my own orthotics, so can't really apprise there. Love Blunnies ! and will be happy for some winter traction.

I absolutely love these boots! I’d been eyeing them up for quite awhile, but wasn’t sure I could spend so much. I read every review of these and the 510. After much indecision, I went with the 558. I’ve very glad I did. There was no break-in time needed, and I’ve worn them for about a week now. Stop thinking about it- buy these boots! They are worth every penny.

At first I though they were too tight, however after having the on for a few minutes, my feet were comfortable and there really wasn't any breaking-in period. Very happy with the purchase.

Have always wanted a pair of Blunnies. I had a hand-me-down too-big pair that I loved but were unrealistic. So, I splurged and got these. Tried the AUS 5.5 first, based on size reviews, but they were too small. Zappos made it really easy and QUICK to exchange, and the AUS 6 are perfect. I'm a US women's size 9 and they are a great fit. Also, contrary to other reviews, I did not find them terribly difficult to pull on. I suspect they will be my only shoe for much of the fall!

This is my first pair of Blundstone boots. Saw them on 2 women in 2 consequtive days, wearing first hiking gear and the other a dress/casual suit. Too Cute!. But there are so many different/similar models, I wasn't sure which to buy. After reading other reviews, I decided on the style that was "designed for women" since I have a narrow heal. I generallly wear a women's 8 1/2, medium width, neutral arch. I purchased that size at first but big toe was at end of the boot and I was afraid of having wearing problems, so exchanged for the next size (women's 9) and they fit just fine. I had also tried on another style (510) and found the 8 1/2 fit well for length but seemed wider. The size 9 in the 510 had my ankle pistoning--not good. Both those went back. I feel like this style (558) is cut narrower across the forefoot than the 510, and I find the arch support better and the heel narrower as well. It does seem to be styled for a woman's foot. Haven't worn them in the weather yet but they have been quite comfortable around town with mid-weight socks. Easy to get on and off. They do seem warmer with just the little bit extra lining.

Just what the doctor ordered.

I LOVE these boots! They are my new go to's! I am a size 8.5, sometimes a 9 depending on the shoes. These felt to fit spot on with thinner summer weight socks in the 8.5 I ordered so I worn them and have ran into a few times where my toes have jammed into the end. I am now wishing I had gone with the 9, also didn't consider wearing thicker socks once cold weather hits... Wish I had thought it thru better but that said, these won't be my last pair and given the amount of time I'm spending in them a 9 will definitely be in my future if need be! Since they are new I'm eager to see the stretch in them and if they have any after logging several miles...may not need to. Time loving these will tell!

Love these boots. They seem to run small. I ordered a AUS/UK 4.5, USA M 5.5, USA W 7.5. I often wear a USA W 7 sometimes 7.5 but I wanted some room so I went with the USA W 7.5. This definitely felt more like a US Woman's 7. Toes just shy of touching the end. I am bummed. Was looking forward to my first pair. Sadly they are sold out (everywhere).
