Customer Reviews Blundstone BL558 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

These are great. Sized to wear with thicker socks. But unbelievably comfortable and so classic. Will never go out of style and will last forever.

My son loves them.

Shoe runs TTS. These are the most versatile boots I could possible own. They are incredibly warm and durable for the winter or bad weather. I have trekked through snow, sleet and rain in these and they have held up; still looking pretty new! They can be worn for outdoor activities (i.e. hiking and look nice enough o be commuting and wear for daily use. There is a small heeled version that is dressier and might be more appropriate for regular daily wear.

Nice looking shoes. The brown version looks nicer but these are ok too. Need around a week to break them in.

Having worn and loved a pair of Blundstone boots, I decided to try another pair. I opened the box and put them on and was astounded to find that they needed no breaking in! As winter is around the corner and slippery wet leaves are everywhere, having a new pair of comfortable, good-looking water proof boots with great tread makes me very happy!

The length was spot on. I read information about sizing directly from Blundstone, so was aware that half sizes were not longer, but a bit wider. So I ordered 8.5 US Women (5.5 Aussie). It was the perfect length, but was still extremely tight across the top. I have very high insteps so this is always an issue, but read the leather would stretch. I wore them around the house and it was just too painful to wait for them to break-in. Those with high insteps beware, it was very tight across the top of my foot.

Trying these on was strange... I also ordered the BL063 to try, and those fit like a glove. These were significantly shorter in length, almost a half size too small, but plenty wide. My big toe hurt after only a few seconds in these, so I'm returning and not looking back.

Don't ignore the advice in the reviews: buy three different sizes to figure out what works best for your feet. After finding the size that fit best lengthwise, I used the included liners to help the boot fit better in terms of width and height. With the liner and SmartWool light padding socks, these now fit perfectly! I wore them all day the first day with no blisters or pain. I'm wearing them again on day 2 just to walk around the house to help soften them up. They don't require a break-in period, per se, but they are a bit stiff. I'm not sure if that stiffness will fade over time or if it's just the nature of the boot. Time will tell... Overall, these are great boots. Love wearing them with jeans and sweatshirts and love knowing that puddles, snow, mud, etc. won't be the end of them.

Super cute boots! I have yet to wear them at all since it's still in the mid 70's where I live in New England, but I'm so excited to in the coming weeks! I've been looking for the perfect Chelsea boot and just couldn't find one I loved. I bought the Doc Martens Chelsea boots at first but they were just a little too chunky for my liking. So I returned those, and ordered these boots in my regular size, an 8.5. I'm usually a true 8-8.5 so I went with the 8.5 just to be safe. However, I did not know that the half sizes just mean the wider version of the whole size so they ended up being a tad too small. They would have worked fine, but I knew that I would have been angry at myself if I didn't just return then and order the next half size up. So, I did just that and ordered these in a 9. Can I just say that I was SO impressed with Zappos shipping. I got my first pair within two days (2-day shipping when you order on the app). The day I got them and realized they are too small, I ordered the second pair around 3:00 that day. And then the second pair arrived the NEXT day. Crazy fast for not really being from where they were shipped out of. The only reason I gave them four stars for comfort is because they aren't as comfy as I thought they would be given the amount you're paying for them. However I Just added in the extra insoles that came in the box with the boots and that helped a lot. Overall pleased and cannot wait to try them out!

I had previously ordered a Blundstone dress boot and ordered it in a 7.5 US size. I ordered this style in the same size and sent back for a size 8 US size. I want to wear these for casual/outdoor work with a light to medium sock. Other brand boots I purchase usually a US 8-8.5 depending on boot and sock type. I actually think I could have bought these in 8.5 and wore medium to medium/heavy sock but didn’t want to chance they would stretch with wear. Of course mine are brand new so I have no idea how they will wear long standing. Yikes when I read other reviews.

This is my first ever Blundstone and ,OMG!!, this is amazing.I like the style, and it is great quality and Comfortable out of the box. If you are into that kind of style, I strongly recommend it. I am going to get different color in near future.

Blundstone sizing is tricky since the half sizes only change the width, not the length. I'm a 7.5. Went with the US 7 / Aus 4, and I could get them on but my toes bumped up against the front of the shoe. The 5 would probably have been better. Returning rather than exchanging for size because they're just too clunky as well.

Durable boot for travel which works with pants, but could also work with tights and a dark dress for a comfortable evening outfit. My husband and I both own a pair. We had to experiment with different socks to find the thickness that worked best. Shoe was comfortable from first wearing after we resolved the sock issue. I’m sure I will have these for years...the rest of my life.

great shoes-- classic and comfortable!

This is my first pair of Blundstones, and I tried several pairs of boots to find the right size (thank you Zappos for making it easy). Since I found the right size, I am very happy with these boots. They are super-comfortable, and I wear them a lot. Easy on and off. I’ve worn them in wet weather, and they are water resistant — I didn’t walk through puddles, but it was raining, and I was out in it for about 20 minutes. My feet were dry. Incidentally, I bought a pair for my seven year old daughter, and she loves them. I would definitely buy another pair.

I had to order several pairs to find the ones that fit - honestly, not much rhyme or reason even using the size chart. Once I found the correct size - I noticed that of the boots to be tight on the top of my foot - I decided to wear them in and work through this issue knowing that a size adjustment wouldn't solve the problem. So far, they are comfortable - once I get them more broken in I expect I will be able to wear thicker socks. These are a great mix of being functional and also quite stylish. I plan to wear them constantly. So, figure out the right size (Zappos makes that easy with quick delivery and free returns) and then enjoy!

My 4th pair of Blundstone boots! Fit and quality are perfect!

This shoe runs small, returning for next size up. Recommend sizing up at least 1/2 size.

I ordered this BL558 due to great reviews, as well as the Sam Edelman Jaclyn boots. Very similar boots and wanted to try on both. The Blundstone was a "no" from the get go. They looked great, right out of the box. I had ordered a size 10, I normally wear a 9-10 depending on shoe. I know the reviews said they ran small, but a 10 was all that was in stock. I could not even get my foot into it, to try it on. Back they went to Zappos, and I kept the other pair.

These boots are comfortable right out of the box. As other reviews shared, and I found to be true, if your go up a half size - the size stays the same but the boot toe box is wider. For example size 10 is a medium width, but a size 10.5 is really a size 10 wide(or at least wider than the regular 10). Using this advise, I was able to find the perfect size. Arch support doesn't seem to exist so I bought insole with arches to replace the insoles which are easy to remove. Please know that the company does include a couple of extra insoles if you need to adjust the fit which is really nice and I've never seen before. Just breaking them in, but I am really please with this boot. I bought men's as I needed a wider fit, but they are really unisex. I tried 7 different brands before choosing these so you can see I am hard to please.

My second pair of these in a different color. Super comfy. Ankle opening a little larger on these versus the dressier square toe Blundstones. I prefer these.

It takes a little to break them in (one wearing should do it), but they are very comfortable. I love that they are good for rain. Easy on, easy off.

Been wearing them for years. Currently have three pairs. Stylish any season. Perfect for rainy days. Blunnies are a wardrobe staple.

This is my third pair of Blundstones and I love them. There isn't any insulation in them so I order a size up and put lambswool liners in the bottom and they're my go to fall/winter/spring shoe. They're comfortable enough for a light hike and cool enough for a casual night out. I highly recommend them!

Best boots ever. Very light, easy to keep looking nice, and super durable. My last pair lasted over eight years, wearing them every day that it snowed or rained in the winter. Plus, no laces!
