Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

I received two right footed shoes! Sad because the shoes them self are amazingly comfortable!

Great boots! They fit like your usual sneaker size. I have always stayed away from Chelsea boots because they weren't comfortable -- these are! I should also note -- I pronate (roll my foot inward as I walk). These didn't provide enough arch support out of the box to prevent pronation, so I added an off-the-shelf insole for $15. Problem solved! Adding an insole to customize is something Blundstone has encouraged for years, and they even sell a few different kinds.

I have a high instep and these fit very well.

Equally comfortable and fashionable.

These are fabulous boots. So comfortable, I can walk all day around the city in them. Stylish, durable, fits true to size.

I REALLY wanted to love these but they just won't work for me. I tried them in 2 sizes but neither was quite right. I could have kept the larger pair and worn them with heavy socks but, I don't like heavy socks. Great boots. Well made. Stylish and all that but not right for me. I'll keep looking for the "perfect" bootie!

These are my favorite everyday boots. My mom, sister, and I all wear them.

I was trying to replace my worn out 7.5 blundstones with an exact replica but this pair felt stiffer and smaller, so I returned. My last pair were excellent and comfortable from the moment I put them on. If I were to order agin, I'd go a half size bigger.

Love these boots! Runs a little small. I had to size up .5

These boots were comfortable from the time I first put them on. In addition I’ve been volunteering at a Christmas tree lot this week and they were the perfect thing to keep my feet dry while I was on my feet for several hours. The toebox is spacious and. The soul was thick enough to keep me dry and safe on a rain select parking lot.

While these are beautiful shoes that I was really hoping would work, they were so uncomfortable - my regular size were too small, so I exchanged for 1/2 size larger, and they were still just too narrow and too short. I could probably try the next size up, but I am not sure I will, but instead I will look for a similar style in a brand I know works for me.

I have high arches and insteps so these boots are very hard for me to get on and off but fit well once they're on - I'm trying to figure out if going up 1/2 size will make a difference or maybe a different Blundstone style (good info on their website) but am hesitant to try again.

I am over the moon, happy. The right boot back was cutting into my calf a bit, but by day 2 that had really subsided. By day 3 these became the most comfy shoes I own. And they are warm, too!

They were too big and wide for me. I wanted so much to love them, but I couldn't make it happen.

Big improvement over my last pair of 510s. The leather on my 510s was stiff and had a dull sheen, which never really got better. The leather on the 558s is a world away. Much softer and far less stiff, with a nice sheen out of the box. The 510s were stiff and tight across the top of my foot, even after a reasonable break in period. These fit me perfect all around, the first time that I put them on. I was hesisitant to spend $200, after my dissapointing previous experience. Now IwishIhadnt waited so long.

I ordered two of these - one a size up and one my regular size - and the regular size one was the winner. I've only worn them three times, but once was all day (8 hours at work on my feet running around and two hours after work at dog agility) and they were extremely comfortable. I'd recommend them!

I typically wear a size 8.5 and the Blundstone 8.5 fit too small. I sized up but the size 9 feels too roomy - both length and width-wise.

Blundstones run very small for me. I’m typically between a size 8 and 9 and I need a 10 in Blundstones, and I have very flat, skinny feet. I haven’t tried a 10 yet so I’m hoping it won’t be too big, but I tried this style in a 9.5 and the high top style in both a 9 and 9.5 and they were all too short. Hope this helps someone.

Rubbed my Achilles tendons. Good boot otherwise.

Fits like a glove. Love them.

Fit true to size (I sized up a half-size like I do in sneakers) and comfortable right out of the box. Although from experience in breaking in a pair of Ariat paddock boots, I will wear them with a pair of thick socks around the house for a day or two to help soften the leather that rubs the front and back of my calf and also whenever I wear them. Order the 510s as well in a 7 and those were too small. These, the 558s, and the 510s looked identical to the naked, uneducated eye. I'm with a previous reviewer, Blundstone should list details of what makes each numbered boot style unique.

Probably would have been great but they shipped a men's size 6.5 instead of women's (and yes, I double checked to make sure I had ordered the correct size)

i’d been eying these for a while and finally took the plunge. I’m normally an 8 US but my feet are wide so I went with the 8.5. The boots were comfortable from the start and they look great. This morning I took a long walk in them with my dog and they were still comfortable. I live in Vermont so I need boots that are weatherproof and have good traction. Hard to find in a boot that also looks good. These are perfect!

I chose this boot because I have problems with my feet and I believe it was recommended by Podiatrists. It was way too stiff with no arch support and no flexibility. Returning or may exchange for an UGG boot. I will say this boot was very cute with lots of tread!

Sizing on Blundstones is notoriously difficult so I'm going to try and be as descriptive as possible to help somebody else's journey! In flat shoes, I am consistently a size 6.5US Womens. I have had a pair of Blundstone 1677s (the ones with the bit of a heel) since fall of 2018 and I have loved them to bits - those are a size 37. I had heard that the 550 series runs differently so I was debating sizing down - I am glad I didn't! I got these in the same size (37) and I'm glad I did, because they were a little long, and a little wide, but this is fine because these are going to be my standing-all-day-at-work/winter trudging around shoes, and tight is NOT the way to go with work shoes for me. Plus I will be wearing thicker socks and want additional insoles (I keep gel inserts in almost every shoe I wear - game changer.) They come with additional insoles that help fill up a bit of space in the shoe, but it isn't much, so I was able to get the included foam inserts AND my usual gel insoles in without a problem. This does make them a bit tight across the top of the foot right now, but my 1677s were similar and they stretched to be perfectly comfortable. There was also a bit of slip in the heel, but I find this is ok for boots and I would rather it slip with a thick sock than cut in on my ankles. I trust these will break in beautifully! It's mentioned in other reviews but I'll highlight it again here: half-sizes in this style are WIDER ONLY - not a change in length. So if you are usually a half-size, I recommend SIZE UP and stack the insoles. Style-wise, they're definitely a unisex-style shoe with a very round toe box and a chunky profile. Hope this helps someone else!
