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.

Possibly the best boot ever made. I'm a woman so I have to size way down because they are men's sizes, but they still work. I get lots of compliments on them and the sheepskin footbed liner is SUPER toasty for winter. Can't beat them.

Love them! I broke my leg two years ago and seek shoes that make me feel safe and are comfortable. These are perfect rain shoes.

Amazing. So comfortable, and I love the no-nonsense, non-obnoxious, but also non-frumpy look of them.

This is my first time buying/trying Blundstone after reading a lot of positive reviews. I wear a Women US size 11 Wide and at first I bought these in AUS 8½, but found them to be too small and a little too tight for comfort. They made my feet go numb after 30 minutes of wearing them around the house. Thankfully the wonderful Zappos customer service allowed me to exchanged for a AUS 9½. The new size fits so much better, although my right heel still rubs the back of the boot. I am sure if I changed the sheepskin footbed to a different Blundstone footbed, I would have more space.

This is my first pair of Blundstones. I absolutely love them! They are super comfortable right out of the box. I normally wear a women's 6½ and I got a size 4 and they fit great - a roomy fit that allows for thicker socks.

These boots are super comfortable inside, with the warm lining and substantial sole. They are new and need some real breaking in, but I think they will last for years. They are waterproof and although they are not dainty boots, they look good and look somewhat polished.

This is an extremely well made boot, and I loved it, but it was just a hair too small and so I'm returning it. Far better quality than other Blundstones I've tried on in the past.

These boots are totally amazing. In the depths of the cold winter my feet never get cold or wet. Sizing was correct. They seem totally indestructible. I want another pair.

I liked these boots so much, I got them in brown, too. They are very comfy, very durable, waterproof, warm, and roomy. They could be a tad too roomy, so I wear a thick sock. The roominess could be due to the fact that I got a half-size, and I see one reviewer says that Aussie half sizes are just wider. Anyway, the roominess works for me as it is no problem to remove the insert and fit my custom orthotic. These boots are replacing my Timberland chelseas as the Blundstones are clearly a step up in comfort, build, and support (looks are about equal). I wear these with jeans Fall, Winter and Spring. Love them.

This is the third pair of Blundstones I've owned and I will own a forth someday. They're that good. They're great boots that work equally well outside in the snow or to simply wear out casually. I found this pair to be a little snugger than my previous pairs but that is only because of the added lambs wool liner which is worth the added warmth and comfort.

These are great boots, but the first pair I ordered I ended up sending back because of lumpy seaming on the heel, which was really uncomfortable. The second pair I ordered fit a lot more snugly, but still a good fit (I was just surprised to see the variability) with no stitching/seaming problems. So far they have been great boots, I love 'em. They're warm with thin socks, which is great. I wear them everyday, and I feel happy putting them on in the morning. Just one other thing is that it did take a few days for them to break in, especially where the leather hits the back of your calf, but it does break in, and now I got no problems.

My husband bought these for me a year ago. They have been worn everyday, rain or shine, to work and play. I especially love them now because they keep my feet dry, really comfy and protected. It rained today, I love these boots in the rain. Planning to order a new pair. You can wear them with jeans, business slacks or shorts. They did not need any breaking in for me. These pay for themselves in terms of their performance. Love, love, love my Blunnies!

A great boot for winter with the lining and sheepskin removable insoles. I read many reviews before I decided to try this series. For me I ordered three pairs to find the correct size which was a full size smaller than I usually wear. These were also narrower than other series and my orthopedic insoles fit perfectly. Zappos was great as it took multiple returns/exchanges to get the fit just right. I don't regret spending the extra for this great service and great boots.

Great work boot that doesn't look like a work boot. The only bad thing is that a year later they developed a squeak to them when I walk so I can't use them anymore. Beyond that, they are great. Lightweight which is a plus in my world.

My first experience with Blundstone and really liked the comfort of a size 8 but it was at least 1/2 size too large for my 7.5-8 foot. Loved the sheepskin liner. Seemed quite supportive. Have narrower heels and a wider toe box so a size 8 that I ordered was a bit loose in the heel area, probably to be expected with a style like this slip on. The shaft was a bit stiff against the top of my calf but expect that to soften. Unfortunately no size 7.5 available at Zappos.

These boots are really great looking but felt very snug bc of the foot liner - ordered my regular size and not sure if a half size up would fix my issues with the fit. The biggest problem for me is where the front seams meet at the top of my foot (top of ankle) they are very stiff and rubbed. I made a promise to myself that I won't buy any more shoes/boots that don't feel great right out of the box... it's not worth the money or the suffering!
