Customer Reviews Blundstone BL561

I love my blunnies, all five of them! They are comfortable, durable, and even aesthetically pleasing to me. I wear them from the fall to the spring. This last pair I purchased was to replace the first one I got eight years ago.

I love these boots! The support is not the best so I use Birkenstock slip in supports which create the perfect boot.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and amazingly durable. This is my 5th or 6th pair in the last ten years. I tend to wear them to the office until they're totally scuffed up, and then they become my work boots and I buy a new pair! I will buy them again when I wear through these.

I had never heard of Blundstone before searching zappos for a good on-your-feet-all-day work boot. I read every review several times for a week before ordering. My wife said enough all ready order the boots so I did. I’m so glad I did; thank you!

These have become my daily shoes. So much so that I think my wife is getting tired of seeing them. They're comfy, feel well-constructed, and go with anything less formal than dress slacks. Because I live in the Rockies, I applied two coats of Camp-Dry to provide some weather proofing. That made the leather just a shade darker, but I like the look. I have also noticed that the brushed leather gets distressed or a little polished from where the cuff of my jeans rests on the boot. Since these are casual boots, I don't care about it. (Just mentioning that in case someone cares.) Australian sizes indeed run at least a full size larger than US sizes. I have a very average US size 10 D (medium width), and I bought Australian size 9. The toe box is pretty roomy, and my feet slide around a bit if I wear normal-density socks. I have found that if I wear thicker woolly socks like Smart Wool socks, the boots fit just perfectly. Normal-density socks don't present a problem, but I wouldn't hike or walk rugged terrain without the thicker socks. As to durability, time will tell. I'm an office guy so even though I wear them to work they see no more action than a pair of loafers. For hikes or heavy outdoor labor I'd stick with my Asolo TPS 520 GoreTex hikers. They're a lot more expensive, but they're an outstanding boot. 10 years and still going strong!

Lovely boot. Good and sturdy. Would last a lifetime with proper care. Sizing runs short, unfortunately, for me!

I found the boots fit tight in the instep to start, but within a week - stretched sufficiently to be very comfortable. I think the crazy horse, even though they are suede, look better after applying boot wax.

These boots were exactly what I have been looking for and when they arrived they were absolutely beautiful. Very well made; a sturdy cool weather shoe but still quite cute. The only problem was with the size. I am a womens size 11, so i ordered the AU8 as recommended by Zappos. It was too small so back they go and I have reordered a size AU9. I am excited for the new size to arrive but disappointed in having to reorder. My take away here is an AU9 = a US womens size 11!

Great fit and style and comfort. I really like the style and ease of wear. Color appears darker online than in person.

These boots are truly comfortable "right from the box." They are lightweight and the toe box is roomy without being big. Don't be fooled by the picture, the "Crazy Horse" color is not tan and maroon. It is just a rich lovely brown.

The color of these is not quite as pictured, they are more of a light brown, almost tan and not as sort of suede-like as pictured. They are a pretty, matte leather, just not quite what I was expecting. Other than that they are as expected.
