Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Decent construction, but really hard to get a high arch into this boot. Rubs on heel and presses on top of foot too much.

These shoes are durable, stylish, and comfortable. They run true to size, but that means if you'd like to wear thick socks, I would suggest sizing up a half size. Good for wide feet!

These are the best boots I have ever owned. I wear them almost every day during the winter which means that my last pair I had didn't last, the bottom rubber wore through and peeled off, the 10 years that my first pair did. Debated on whether to get a new pair bc the quality wasn't the same but so happy I bought them. So they last 4 years not 10, still my go to brand and go to casual boot.

Consistent company. I ordered this model in November 2013 and abused them to the point of tatters. Then I looked up my order history in December 2015 and ordered the exact same boot again. It's nice to have the history and know that the company sticks to its models. Fit/size is spot on. Performance leaves nothing to be desired. Comfort is off the charts.

These are great shoes! They are very comfortable and supportive. They come with an extra insole that you can put beneath the one already in the shoe for some extra cushion or to adjust the fit if the shoe is a little roomy. I typically wear a 7½ or 8 and was a solid 8 (Australian 5) in these.

I tried the 585 in 8.5 and they were snug, so I tried this style in a 9 and they are much wider and bigger so I am returning these and going to try the 585 in a 9. Great service from Zappos.

As a woman with large feet, finding good shoes is hard! I had a pair of Blundstone 500's (size 12) and they were just a smidge too tight. Unfortunately half sizes aren't available, but these fit well and look nice.

I am really regretting this purchase. My roommate recommended these shoes but they fit horribly and are incredibly uncomfortable. I have been wearing them for a few hours and I already have painful blisters on my heel. I feel like I just wasted money.

I love these boots! I tried on several pairs of Blundstones in 4.5s and 5s (AU sizes), and these were the ones I ended up keeping. I generally wear a 7.5 or 8 in women's US sizes, so I would say that the size conversion was accurate. I ended up going with the size 5 (US 8) in these boots, because they were more comfortable with a mid-weight sock for my high instep. I still may look at getting a pair with a slightly thinner sole as well, but these are going into my regular fall/winter shoe rotation. These boots are comfortable out of the box, even though the boot shaft is a bit stiff. For women, this boot is a bit on the utilitarian side, but I wore them with rolled skinny jeans and button down shirt and received many compliments on them. If you were to wear them with a bootcut pant, I think you could get away with wearing them in a dress-casual office setting. (I work in a casual office.) The color is an oiled black, so these do not have a polished finish. I would highly recommend these as a comfy, casual boot for either men or women.

These are very comfortable boots. I am very pleased with the purchase. I read a lot of the sizing reviews and bought my usual size (7.5) in US (I wear a 7.5 to 8 US) and they fit like a glove. I can and do wear these boots all day.

A cool pair of kicks. There will be some break in of the leather heel. comfortable and conforming out of the box. Sure to mold and conform to a perfect fit. Four star for comfort soon to be 5 star.

I love the simplicity of design. Purchased as rainy day shoe. Accommodates my orthotics. So far so good.

Very comfortable shoes. I have had at least eight pairs through the years. I can't stress how comfortable they are! But that's I why I keep wearing them. Sadly my opinion is that I think the quality may have gone downhill. I tend to be hard on shoes but the sidewalls blow out before treads show any significant wear. Amanda in customer service was very helpful in steering me in the direction of something to replace my beloved blunnies. Thank you, Zappos.

Awesome boots. They fit very well, are very comfortable (though feels like they need to be broken-in to reach maximum comfort). They're warm enough to walk around in cold temps and on snow, they don't slip (so far at least), and provide good support. If you wonder about their airport friendliness - they are airport friendly. I tested them with full airline uniform (including belt, badge) and it did not trigger the magnetometer. Very happy with my purchase!

These are the most awesome boots ever! They run a tad big - you may need to go half a size smaller than your usual. They are so comfortable. I have high arches and these are great, although a bit tricky to pull on at first. They are keepers!

These are my second pair of Blundstones. Had the first pair over 5 years. And Zappos delivery was prompt and service is professional.

I've always been a fan of Timberland boots, but I think I found a new boot. I wear a size 9us, so I ordered the same. The Blundstone was just slightly loose not even a half size larger. In the box were some inserts so I decided to try them and the boots felt like they were custom made for my feet. I know they are going to be my tootsies best friends!

I am used to wearing combat boots and the fit is similar. These are light weight. I was afraid that they would look cloggy from some reviews or the heels would be too high, but the toe box is roomy and I can wiggle my toes, good for circulation. I have had many shoes that are comfortable from the start, that tend to get tight as the day goes along then you cannot wait to get home and change. These boots provide enough space using medium thick socks. I treated the leather with Lexol leather conditioner twice to hydrate. I applied the enclosed waterproofing wax after leather treatment dried. The boots are breaking-in nicely and the creases and the boot sides taking shape make the leather appear natural and supple.

These boots have excellent support and are very good to walk in the snow absolutely love them!

I typically wear an 8.5 US Women's shoe and in these I ordered the AU size 6, perfect fit! These shoes are a dream! It took about three days to get used to the feel of the above the angle style for me but after that, I didn't want to take them off. They keep my feet perfectly warm in very cold weather, great grip for odd winter weather and personally I think they look great on. I love these shoes!

Not much for looks, but quite comfortable. Though I usually wear a narrow width, these don't feel too wide, and I've room for my orthotics. Wore them for more than 8 hours first time out and they felt great.

Great boots. I am very tough on my shoes and these have held up very well! Zappos shipped them so fast, great customer service!

I was tired of wearing running shoes all winter long and have been looking for a comfortable and fashionable alternative. These shoes fit the bill. Look good with Jeans and are comfortable. Easy on and off and are serving well in the nasty Chicago winter we are experiencing so far this year.

I bought these for my daughter who works as a blacksmith. She was tired of lacing her work boots and wanted something she could easily slip on & off and were comfortable and durable as well. These fit the bill!
