Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

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!

Have always wanted a pair of Blunnies. Finally broke down and bought them. Very happy I did! Aus size to US was perfect fit. They are amazingly light, in weight. Tough, yet stylish.

I love this boot! I'm very picky about boots as I have 'problem' feet - very wide and with a bunion. They are so comfortable! Also great looking and well made. What more could you want?

These boots are best sellers in their homeland of Australia and now I know why. Slip them on in the morning and comfy all day. I'm wearing them on the motorcycle as well because they are far more comfortable than my bike boots. Nice and warm and waterproof too. I'm surprised at how many complements I get on them, but I guess that just means they look good too!

This is my second pair of these in five years. I have the brown 550's too. They are comfortable and dressy enough to were out on Saturday night or to work. They are extremely comfortable and the extra insole provided helps snug up the fit if you're between sizes. These are great boots. They look great on stage too with a pair of jeans.

I foolishly ordered the 10.5 which were much too big. My feet were swimming. The 10's seemed on the edge as I walked around the house. Wore them out to Maker Faire -- mud, walking, standing, subway, children -- and they were great. No complaints from my feet at all, no chafing on the ankles.

These shoes are perfectly comfortable and did not require any break-in time. I've been wearing them for a few weeks now. I have slightly wide feet and a bunion--and the bunion does not scream at me when I wear these shoes. I wanted a casual shoe I could wear in all weather, and on all terrain, for a trip to Ireland. I think these will be perfect.

I am amazed at how perfectly comfortable these are right off the bat. Even though I did get 1 blister on my right heel the first day I wore them walking about 5 miles, but then they were totally fine and broken in!

Walking, hiking, to the park, around town, I seem to be living in this boot. My husband tried to talk me into Blundstones for years, I don't know what took me so long?! Fantastic with skinny jeans for a simple moto boot look, also wearing with leggings and sweater dress. Follow rec. for sizing, it was spot on. Great for wider feet!

Really like these, especially for ski vacation. Good-looking, comfortable and water-proof. Worked on the way to the slopes and for dinner.

Most comfy and versatile boot on earth. Period. To work with knit tights and short skirt. To garden (literally hose them off afterwards) To my kids soccer games. To hike (great vibram like sole). The sizing was just right. Didn't even need to add an insole. Plenty of cush. As always Zappos service is top notch. Sizing recommendations were dead on.

So comfortable! I wear them every day. They're the best shoes I've ever owned and they fit perfectly.

My husband loves these boots. Has worn this type for years. This is his second pair this year. One for work (outside & in the northwest) and the other pair for everything else. He wears a US11 and the 10 fit him perfect.

I had a case of Plantar Fasciitis which is a tendinitis of the foot. I got this condition from playing too much golf. My doctor prescribed physical therapy and to wear a shoe with good support. If I was going to buy a shoe just for support, it had to look good and had to be something that I would wear after my foot healed. A friend suggested that I look at Blundstone on Zappos. I purchased a pair of Blundstone Bl558. After wearing these shoes for a week, I stopped going to the physical therapist and wear these shoes every day. Great cushion in the heel and my foot fits snugly, without being too tight. I wish my friend would have told me about these shoes last year when my foot started to hurt. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone with a foot injury and anyone who just wants a comfortable, good looking shoe.

I loved the boot, but it runs a bit small. I am usually an 8.5 in boots and that is what I ordered. It was super snug on my foot and would not have been comfortable to do any walking in. Unfortunately, Zappos did not have a 9 so I had to return them. I did order the 9 directly from Blundstone and they are perfect.

little tight width wise...

Boot fit well, in a half size larger than I normally wear. I was looking for a little different look and decided on a different style from Blundstone. But love the boot choices.

Just too stiff to be comfortable. I have average width feet and the sizing (3 1/2) seemed ok but I thought for a lot of walking they were just too stiff and wouldn’t be comfortable. Perhaps they would be ok after a lot of breaking in but I didn’t want to take that chance due to the price point

Very stiff. Maybe over time they’d be more comfortable but I was afraid to take the chance since they were so expensive.

These are really fun boots, and I was so hopeful. I've been on the search...and these just aren't quite it. They are well made. THey are a bit clunkier than I was hoping for. They are are little hard to get on--the elastic gore si great, but my feet/ankles had to bend a bit too much getting them on. IF the tab loops weren't there, I would never have gotten them on. The big thing tho, is no arch support. They are too expensive to not have better insides.
