Love these boots. Very sturdy even on snow and ice and roomy enough for thicker socks.

I tried on some 550s at a local store before buying these and the fit.was exactly the same. Super warm, perfectly waterproof, and although I haven't had them too long they feel very durable.

My spouse LOVES these. Supple leather, sheepskin insoles, and length I’d good for her Morton’s toe.

Really liked these but I was afraid they'd been too warm for my feet so I returned them. However after trying several other pairs (other Blundstone, Sorrel, Ugg) these are looking like they might be the ones. I may repurchase and hopefully they still have my size. Thanks Zappos!

For the price, I was expecting leather. These were glorified rain boots.

These are great boots, but I felt they looked too "clunky' on me. I have thin ankles and thought they looked awkward. So well made and lovely, though!!

Exceptional warmth. Shearling footbed is extremely comfortable. Runs slightly large, will accommodate thicker socks. Highly recommended

Needed a slip on boot to handle city walking and snow, cute enough for teaching and durable enough for the studio...it took a few sessions of walking around the house for this to conform to my heel - steaming the boot over the tea kettle then putting it on might have helped- but I was able to put right to work and am pleased 8.5 is my normal size and I like wide size when I can find it (.5 means wide in the Aussie system). I think this shoe with last a long time and the comfort and style are great. No fatigue after lots of city walking and standing plus I love the removable shearling insert and expect to maybe use my smart feet inserts in the warmer months!

Love these, so warm - they are my new rink shoes (for watching kids play hockey). They feel a little snug at first but wear a few times they literally mold to your feet. Yummy warm.

Amazing boots! I have a narrow heel and wider forefoot and these fit beautifully. Not too snug or too loose. Nice cushion in heel. Walked on concrete floors for 8 hours with no discomfort - only minor issue - stitching rubbed left ankle bone upon first wear - wore thick socks for a couple days and no problems. Thank you Zappos!

These boots are the best shoes I've ever owned. I'm a florist and I'm standing on my feet all day, my feet never hurt a bit with these boots. I've worn them practically every day for over a year now and they still look and feel amazing. So sturdy. Entirely worth the money - these shoes are an investment, they will last you forever. Can't recommend them enough love them so much!

I LOVE these boots. I was going to Iceland with only a small backpack, and wanted to bring a warm pair of boots that I could dress up or dress down, and also have good traction for the ice and snow. These were PERFECT.
Fit: I had to order up on the size. I'm typically an 8-8.5. The AU 5 was to small, the AU 6 fits perfect with socks. Zappo's easy return policy makes it super easy to swap out sizes. These are SO comfortable! I lived in them for a week, without having broke them in ahead of time, and had no blisters or discomfort.
Look: Very fashion forward for boots, you'll want to wear them with everything (I bought the black ones).
Weather: Very warm. They kept my feet cozy with just a normal pair of socks in 0* weather. They are also waterproof and have great traction on the snow/ice.
Overall, awesome books. Highly recommend!

I ordered the winter Blundstone 566 in 5.5 (8.5 US Women's) and the traditional Blundstone in 5 (8 US Wmns) and found that the winter boot was best at the half size up. I ended up returning the traditional Blundstone because the winter ones were much warmer and cozier. The extra liner and foot cushion used up the extra width which the half size gives you, as others have noted. I actually found the traditional boot looser, even though the winter boots 566 were a half size bigger.
I wear lots of snow boots with high laces in the winter here because the snow is deep and you really can't wear regular, cute shoes outside. But this boot works in the snow and is cute. I will wear this boot when I want to look nicer, but still slush through the snow in town.

I've put them through the snow, rain, and mud and these boots hold fantastically. All day comfort. Stayed warm and they look sharp.

These were purchased for my husband to replace a worn out pair of similar style boots. These are quite well made, and it is great that they are waterproof. Also great - the lush and cushy insoles in these shoes can be removed and replaced with my husband's plantar fascitis insoles. So far so good as far as comfort goes. I will update if any more comments.

Just bought these for my husband. He was looking for rainboots that he can also wear in the snow and look stylish. After wearing them to work, he came home exclaiming how comfortable they are and how much he loves them. He hasn't been to the snow yet but has worn them in the rain and they keep his feet dry and warm. Highly recommend.

Amazing boots. Wear everywhere. Durable. Difficult to get into the first twenty or so wears- the neoprene gussets are probably the reason. Highly recommend these.
I should mention that I bought one size, found them a but snug, ordered the next half size up as another reviewer mentioned that half sizes are the wide version and they actually felt smaller, so I kept the original size.

Blundstones definitely run larger, I purchased one whole size smaller which was a bit tight on me. However as I have very narrow feet I decided to stick with this. They look great and for sizing a whole size down, these boots only took me 2 wears to fully break into. I also have flat feet and these are snug, so might not work well with high arches, as per some of the previous reviews. However, for me, these are the perfect boots. 4 stars for comfort only because I wear sneakers all the time, and this would be as comfortable as boots get for my standards.

These are great boots. They're comfortable, and they look good. The suggested converted size worked perfectly and allowed room for warm socks.
They feel like old friends just a few days in. Highly recommended.

Honestly, the greatest boot I own. When I ordered these, I just knew I needed a pair of black Blunnies. I did not really go through all the details...all the 5 star reviews were enough to convince me to buy these. When they arrived, I discovered they had waterproof uppers and the most cozy sheepskin footbeds. Thinsulate liner keeps my feet warm and dry. I wore these on a 3 mile dog walk out of the box. Not one blister, no breaking period needed. God's gift to cold, wet weather dog walks/hikes.
