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!

The boots were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I look forward to long-term wear.

Love how these have broken in quickly. I hate wearing socks and these are so comfortable even without socks!

Great Boots! They are very comfortable. I’m usually 7½ US in boots and these were small so I exchanged them for the size 8 and they fit good, a bit Big but I use the second pair of insoles and they fit great. I hope they last many years!

I learned about these boots from a Wirecutter article and decided to put them on my Christmas list. Surprise! I got a pair as a present and they fit and feel great. They are stylish enough to wear on a nice outing (when such a thing is appropriate again) and durable enough for every day.

These are really well made boots with a very comfortable sole. I would have loved to keep them. Sizing was the issue. I wear an 8 in sports shoes. I mostly wear Keens in a 7.5. My feet are wide at the ball, so I often wear a wide width, but just as often a wide is too wide for my foot. The first pair I bought was AU 5.5 US 8.5 (half sizes are wide) - and the second was AU 6.5 US 9.5. The 5.5 was small on my foot. The 6.5 fit but was too snug all around for comfort. They did start to ease a bit, but it felt like they would never be truly comfortable. So I have returned them.

I purchased these nine months ago and they are so amazing. perfect comfort and seriously get better with each and every wear. I wear them 5 days a week and they are the best boots ever! I purchased a size 3 and wear a USA womens 6.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
