Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

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.

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

This is my second pair of "Blunnies" in 16 years -- my old ones still look good but the sole split after many years of much use. The new ones are completely comfortable, totally warm and perfect for my wet Pacific Northwest winters.

We love these boots. Our whole family has them. They are waterproof, sturdy, handsome and easy to put on/remove. Wear with thick wool socks for cold days. We live in New York City and it gets cold and wet here. They are a great value!

An outstanding, comfortable low boot suitable for women as well as men. I wear a women's size 12 and the website guidelines plus the Australian unisex sizing allowed me to choose the best fit. It is warm, yet breathes well.

This is my first pair of Blundstone's and they're very comfortable everyday boots. I live/work in the city and walk a good 4 miles a day on cement. These boots keep up just fine. I've never owned Chelsea boots and not having laces to tighten worried me a bit. But these are snug enough for day-to-day walking around, for sure. They'll come with extra inserts so you can adjust the feel of the boots. With the inserts it's nearly a half size difference. I'm an 11 and the Zappos recommended size (AUS 10) was perfect. Of course, Zappos is awesome. This search for boots entailed ordering three pairs of boots, two returns, and two phone calls to Zappos, but they helped me get the boots I was looking for.

Shoes are extremely comfortable. Excellent fit - the additional (included) inserts really helped out.

I've been wanting these boots, and today I got them! Let me tell you; I pity the person who tries to take away my Blunnies! They were straight out of the box comfortable (have been wearing them and walking for 5 hours with no problem), they are really high quality with excellent leather, and I think they are kind of a funky, fashion forward boot that is very versatile. Why did I wait so long? Something tells me this will not be my last pair of Blundstones. I very much recommend them. These boots, paired with the infallible service of Zappos is a brilliant combination!

The last pair of Blundstone's I owned last 10 years, wearing them pretty much every day. So far, these boots seem to be the same high quality.

I got my first pair as a hand-me-down from a friend and the quality holds true for my new pair. All day comfort and support. Enough said.

Excellent shoe. Transitional style is functional for casual or a little dress up. Comfortable.

These are my second pair of Blundstones. The others are brown. I love these boots. They are very comfortable and I have been wearing one pair or the other pretty much every day since I\'ve had them. Highly recommended!

This is my first purchase of Blundstone boots. So far, the boot looks well constructed, fits well, and should meet my expectations. If the boot performs as well as the Zappos team, I'm sure to purchase another pair in brown.

Just got my Blunnie's a couple of weeks ago. They're every bit as comfortable as the 550's they replaced-- those had just been re-soled when I ran a hangar door over the left toe and sliced a gash in the leather. The 558's have a nice, smooth, almost glove-leather lining on the inside at the top that makes them slide on even easier. Mine came with some sizing insoles that slip in under the stock insoles to customize the fit. Not sure if they all come with those or maybe that was a function of me ordering a size too small the first go-round. These are just great boots. I use mine on my motorcycle and for schlepping around in the muck. They stay warm and dry. Not much to look at, but I'm not a model or trying to impress anyone. Great for walking, too. Zappos came through, too. Covered the return and exchange perfectly. Nice folks to deal with. They do what they promise and do it well. Thanks. Josh

Excellent boots. So easy to just pull on and off, perfect for Pacific Northwest weather, and very comfortable. Leather is a bit stiff at first but softens up very quickly. Hugely recommend these boots. And Zappos too, whose service is excellent. My size was not in stock at first, but they emailed me the moment it was and sent my boots to me so fast. Thanks, guys!

I loved these boots so much I just purchased the clogs!!! I have feet issues and the boots are very comfortable, plenty of room and great support. ZAPPOS ROCKS!!!!

This is my second pair in ten years and I only purchased new ones because the soles on my old pair finally disintegrated. I love my Blundstone boots (aka "Blunnies") because they feel good, look good, and take me through all kinds of weather and terrain and ask for little in return other than an occasional wipe down. They are super-cool. Note that they are cut fuller to accommodate a pair of socks.

I ordered these shoes for my husband and he LOVES them so much. He is super duper picky about his shoes and he loved these as soon as he tried them on. They are really comfortable, durable and he just loves them. I am super impressed with Zappos. They ship so FAST and always for free. I love the return policy, although we will NOT be returning these. I really can't say enough good things about these Blundstones. Thanks so much Zappos!!!

These are great boots! Very little break in, comfortable out of the box and seem extremely durable. They are a little larger than normal marked size, but I had seen that on other reviews so I bought a size down. The half sizes are a little weird, sending you some insert. Great shoes and great service from Zappos.

I've been wanting these shoes for 15 years. There's only one distributor in Minneapolis and they've never had my size. I've been buying lookalike brands for years. Nothing is as good as my new boots. Nothing! Thanks for making it so easy.
