Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Great stylish boots, I love these Blundstones. I have one reservation: I feel my feet move sideways in these boots.

Put these on and they became my favorite shoe. Not only are they comfortable but they look great as well. Love them!

Fantastic boot! Excellent fit and quality and works well with orthodics. So comfortable I forget I'm wearing them. Over the ankle fit provides great stability and the retro style reminds me of my Grandfather's boots.

This is my second pair of Blundstones. I had the first pair for 10 years or so. They are by far the most comfortable boot or shoe I have ever owned. If the style works for you, do buy a pair of these. Pay attention to sizing - the half sizes are actually only a wider version of the size. I take an 8 1/2 and have a narrow foot so I take a 6. You won't be sorry, especially with the great service customers get from Zappos.

As usual excellent service from Zappos. I wear between a 13 and 14 size shoe, depending on make and model. I got the 14's and they fit very well.

I ordered these recently and received the wrong size and the return was practically effortless. They are true to size (a 5.5 is a women's 8). If you want to wear them with a thicker sock, however, you may want to order a half size up. It did take me a couple of days to break them in, but I love 'em.

This a quality made shoe. The fit was perfect and I am sure this is a shoe I will have for many years.

Had a pair of 500's years back, and was very happy with them. Unfortunately, the soles delaminated on them a bit too early. I gave up on this brand until I saw the 558 and thought I would try again. No regrets there. These are just like 500's but with premium, full-grain leather outer that can take a shine, and the lining is sumptuous glove leather. The soles seem to be better attached than my old Aussie-made pair. Waterproof all the way around. Comfortable, plenty of toe room, and I get compliments besides. 5 stars.

I love my Blundstones! They are the 2nd pair I have owned. Very comfortable and sturdy. I have to wear an orthotic and they accommodate them easily. True to size and you can literally wear them forever. They last a really long time.

These are great boots, if only they fit right. The right boot has a somewhat smaller toe box than the left. My feet are the exact same length, I had them measured. At first it was irritating but then I kind of got used to it. The left fits perfectly. Lately, my right toe has been aching and it's the boot doing it. I should have returned them. So far as ruggedness, warmth and comfort, they are great as I wear them on the NYC subways and walk to work in all kinds of winter weather. I might get a pair a half size larger.

My last pair of Blundstones were great boots, well made, and very, very long lasting. My most recent pair has not lasted one year. The leather cracked and ripped and the soles have ripped off at the toes. I work on a farm and use boots hard, so if you are buying them for a good looking pair of boots, go for it, but if you are looking for long wearing value (what Blundstones used to offer) look elsewhere. At some point production of these switched to China from Australia, the quality suffered, and the price rose. Bummer.

I had purchased these boots with the intention of using them as all-purpose slip-on boots; something that I could wear out to the barn for chores or riding, running errands and perhaps the random walk or hike outdoors. These particular boots are rather rugged and I suspect would hold up well to just about all you could throw at them. I wear a ladies 9 (US) and I found that this Blundstone ran about as close to being true to my size as I am going to get with this brand. That being said, it was a bit snug on the sides, particularly when worn with socks. I also found the sole to be a bit more rugged than anticipated and not suitable for riding. I suspect that the soles could get caught up in the stirrups. I opted to return the boots for these reasons. As always, it is a pleasure to deal with Zappos even when you are not happy with the product. They make shopping and returns so easy!

At the one month mark, I'm fairly happy with them. I wear a 10.5, and if you do also, go with the size 11. Also, felt the price was too high for something made in China--these aren't made in Australia or Tasmania.

After spending most of the winter walking around in slippery, leaky shoes, I was truly delighted to receive this boot. It keeps my normally cold feet warm, and is a lot more comfortable than it looks. It's all I want to wear these days. The look, especially from the front, is plain, and the brown leather tends to scuff, but it couldn't be better as an everyday friend.

Surprisingly comfortable. I also bought these to have a nice, waterproof boot on certain occasions. It comes with some waterproofing wax, too.

Looked great, my wife even said they looked good and that is rare, but fit was a little snug. I requested 1/2 size larger.

I love my boots! Surprisingly light, but sturdy. Comfortable to walk in, a bit stiff to get out of, but they're still very new, so I'm sure it will get easier as the leather gets softer. I have a narrow foot, so this shoe might cause problems for people with wider feet.

This is my 3rd pair of Blundstone. I already decided I am going to keep a pair the rest of my life! They fit great, are comfortable, look good with either jeans or slacks and are as tough as they can be. Each pair I had for 4 or 5 years of rough use. I recommended them to my dad and brother, now they use them too.

These are my second pair of Blunnies. My first pair lasted 10 years. I imagine these will last that long, too. They're extremely comfortable. They're waterproof. Well made. The leather lining is a nice bonus that my old ones didn't have. It's not fully lined in leather; the front half of the boot is lined with some sort of microfiber wicking material. That's not a complaint. I imagine Blundstone figured this way is better than a full leather lining. Note that the 1/2 sizes really aren't half sizes. They're the wide version of the whole size. So a 10.5 is really a 10 Wide.

Excellent boot. I purchased them for my husband and he reports a great fit, great look, super comfortable.

Without question, the best boots that I own. They are my first pair and it's too bad I didn't know about them before. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

Great boots. Solid build, very comfortable. Some pain for the first week or two in breaking them in, but smooth sailing after that.

I liked the boot very much; however, it felt as if it were possibly two sizes too small. In flats I usually wear an 8 1/2. I'm 8 months pregnant, and have found that I need to wear a size 9 (even though on the shoe sizer, in stores, I still measure an 8 1/2).

I love these boots. They are a perfect comfortable boot for the winter months and not to mention very cool!
