Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

I am normally a solid 8.5 US, 39 EU, and ended up ordering the equivalent of a 9 (Aussie 6). If you're normally in between sizes (ie. are a half-size like me (8.5), order up to the next full size shoe. Blundstones half sizes are ONLY different in width (the half sizes are the wider versions). These come with additional in-soles as well that make the boot fit even better for people that are between sizes. Super happy with the 9's.

These are very comfortable boots. I wear thinner and mid weight socks in these so would recommend sizing up a 1/2 size if you want to wear thicker socks. Many compliments when I wear them.

12 + hours a day on my feet. Work as a painter. Swap them out once a year. Tried many others. Best for me. 12 years now.

These are great for snowy days when I need to head into work. Comfortable enough that I’ve sometimes just worn them all day at the office.

Totally love these boots. I had a pair of 500s for 15 years that finally disintegrated. I've bought two other pairs since then but they fit me differently..couldn't find the right size...one was too big and one too small. Finally tried these for some reason and my old size fits perfectly. I continue to be a bit confused about all the different styles and why they fit differently, but these are PERFECT, for me anyway.

This is my first pair of Blondstone's and I am in love. I usually wear a 7 and ordered a 7 and they are a perfect fit, so for me, true to size. Yes, they are a little hard to get on, but just use the pull tabs that are on the boots. I love them so much I ordered them in the antique brown too.

I’m very happy with my new Blundstones. I needed a boot that would work with orthotics and they fit the bill with their removable inner sole. Because of the orthotics I bought 8.5 instead of my usual 7.5 and they’re perfect. Right out of the box they were fine for a full day. Hoping they last as well as they’re supposed to.

Perfect fit

Typically a size 13 in all shoes, these felt a bit too large, even after putting in the additional foot beds. I wore them right out of the box for a week long trip to Holland. After walking about 60 miles all over the different cities, my feet felt awesome. I will definitely buy another pair!

Very uncomfortable and bulky feeling

A little too small

I love the look of Blundstones, and was really hoping, with the unisex sizing, that they would be wide enough for me. Unfortunately, they are too narrow for my genetically inherited and bunion-y feet. Why not make a wide width, Blundstone?

I first bought the higher ankle style Blundstone's but wasn't happy with them. Returned them and got the lower ankle style and I am way happier! I wear a size 7.5 to 8 and I ordered the size 8 and they fit perfect. I have just the right amount of room in the front of the shoe for my toes. They also came with an extra insole to take up a little more space inside the shoe (I do have narrow feet) and that insole was just what I needed. I am really happy with these shoes. They are a classic style and as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". These shoes will last! I'm already looking to get another pair in a different color!

Blundstone sizing is interesting. I bought the 558 and the 587 in the 9.5. The 587 felt longer and wider. The 558 was a bit tighter in the ankle and I feared that my foot would go forward too much in it. I even ordered the size 10 but it was a boat. So....I ended up keeping the 558 and keeping my fingers crossed that I had broken it in enough in the house before I tried going outside. Interesting that there was such a significant difference between the 558 and the 587 (Rustic Brown). The 587 is incredibly comfortable (even with long walks) and I am hoping that the 558 will be as well.

Good. Very comfortable out of the box! I returned this pair, as I have a pair in brown and love them!! I really need more professional looking boots for work. I did the responsible thing...

feels great wish it was waterproof

I have been eyeing these boots for a couple of years and finally decided to give them a try. I have a very difficult foot to fit and unfortunately these did not work for me. I usually wear an 11 to accommodate my longer left foot with the slight bunion. But I also have a narrow heel. Sometimes I can wear a 10.5 if the toe box is very roomy and the length a bit generous. But the unisex size 8 is just too big for me. The toe box is very roomy and I do not feel my bunion at all. But there is just too much room overall. I could live with the extra room in the forefoot but the heel is just too big and wide for my foot. I walk right out of it. So disappointed to have to return these.

Very comfortable.

Only 3 starts because they are half size larger, I wear womens size 8, which was the Aus 5 and that was 1/4 to 1/2 in to long and very wide even with real thick socks. I have decided to return them for an Aus size 4.5

I usually wear 7 and I think the 4.5 will fit well once the leather stretches a bit. Very comfortable!

Great fit and very comfortable. My husband usually wears a 10.5, and the Blundstone 10.5 worked perfectly for his relatively wide feet. Easy to dress up or dress down, and warm enough for the PNW winter. He also tried the 510 in the same size, and could not get his foot in. They also didn’t feel as nice as these 558’s.

I adore my old brown suede 550's and have dreamed about a pair in black for some time. I read a ton of reviews and kept reading about high arches being a problem. I have very high arches and I was not sure what the problem could be, but now I see..The tops of my feet..where a strap would come across, ached with the new, firm boots. It was better the second day with some amount of breaking them in, but I was still aware of the feeling of pressure. I took a break for a few days and I am sure when I wear them again, it will be better. I do like them, they look great, tolerated a NYC rainy day and were not too difficult to get on and off. My daughter reminds me that our beloved old 550's also took some breaking in, a fact that I had forgotten since they have since become my most comfortable and reliable shoe ever !! I am a true 7.5 med width and these fit perfectly. If you are a wide, you will need more space for sure as my feet are not narrow and I wore thinner socks than I wear with my old 550's. I do not ever see wearing thick boot socks with these, will never be that stretched out. My next pair will be back to the sueded type as I think that they lend themselves to the comfort that I have come to expect form my Blundstones..

The Blundstone website will not tell you as much as it should. The mens half sizes are just wider version of the whole-size boots. All styles are very well made and there is variety for your interests. I would have ordered a 12, but the 11.5 (US) was the perfect fit for me. I love my Blundstone boots!

Excellent fit! This show is so cute! Love them! So glad I stumbled upon them! I have a lot shoes with heels or wedges in them, these are a nice change of pace! A little snug at first but are breaking in nicely!

My son loves them!
