The boots are stylish, I have gotten lots complements on them. That said- this is not a walking shoe. at work I do a bit of walking and standing up during day and with these boots my feet hurt at the end of the day.

This is a fantastic looking shoe. It is a bit more than I normally choose to spend on a pair of shoes. I wanted these shoes to arrive at my house and turn me into Brad Pitt once they were put on. However, when I put them on, they were tight around the arch area and while I expected them to "relax" due to the fact that they are leather, I was afraid to take the risk that maybe they wouldn't and I would just be left with an unreturnable, too tight, expensive pair of leather bookends. They are seriously well made shoes, but they didn't fit right for my feet, so I had to send them back.

Very uncomfortable, but beautiful shoe. The tongue leather is literally painful on the top of my foot, and the leather digs into the lower calf because it's so stiff. I would've bought these shoes if they had been comfortable.

I normally wear a 10 US but that was too small lengthwise. 10½ felt even smaller, go figure. 11 finally fit ok, if a little wide. But it was all for nothing because the odor of the shoes is terrible and whatever was used in the manufacturing process is causing an allergic reaction in my nose and throat. Normal leather never did this to me.

These shoes are great. I wear them every day of the week for work...I'm a contractor. I ordered my typical size. They run a little big but not enough for a smaller size. If you're in between sizes you may want to size down. I have wide flat feet and these are very comfortable. I like the look of the worn leather. Easy slip on and slip off. That's the best part!

Admittedly I am a Blundestone addict. Was unsure of these since they don't have the supportive soles most other styles have, but they have become my go-to for work almost daily. Slide on easily d/t elastic on sides. I do add Superfeet insoles to almost all my foot ware and they fit nicely. Limited wear showing after almost a year of abuse. Blunnies are well worth the money!

A great hardy, fashionable and stylish shoe. Right out the box it felt great; wonderful support and a proper fit. My first pair of Blundstone shoes - it won't be my last.

Love these boots. They are stylish and comfortable. I wear them with jeans or khakis and they look great and feel good. Did run just a tad small for me so I went up a half size and they're perfect. But my feet are kind of in between sizes so this isn't that unusual for me.

These are the best! Got a pair for my husband and my dad and they are both obsessed with them. Because of the signature Blundstone elastic, they can slide them on and off without untying the laces. They are really lightweight but sturdy. Great boot!

I love these boots. They are made from high quality leather and are very nice. I really like the elastic gusset near the ankle because if you tie the shoes just a little loosely, you can slip them on and off without untying them! I did soften up the toe crease a little with some leather conditioner/oil so that it doesn't pinch your toes when you are breaking them in.

Very comfortable boot. I live in San Diego and this boot is perfect for the weather here, not heavy or bulky. Very flexible and wide front not pointy which if you have wide feet like I do they fit great. They have a slight industrial smell which if you worked in close quarters or in a office you could smell them. Not a big deal for me since I don't. I aired them out a few times outside and it helped.

I'm pleased with the way they look with long pants. These are definitely more casual. My biggest complaint is that after wearing them for a few hours or walking in them, the top part of my feet start to ache a bit. It seems that as a result of the way the shoe is constructed, pressure is applied there. I'm not sure if this will alleviate the longer I wear them, but after 2 weeks of almost daily use, this is what I've noticed.

Great looking shoe, but really uncomfortable on the top. The tongue and strings dig into the top of the foot. Maybe they will redesign.

These are cool, but they don't have very good support and they leak, and then they smell bad! I was interested in finding an everyday boot similar to the Clarks Desert Boot, but I'd say desert boots are better. The sole on these shoes is weird, too. They don't have very good traction and they lose their shape after they get worn in. So, I like them, but they are not as high quality as other Blundstone boots.

These boots will leak in the toe when walking on wet pavement after a block. Love the style and the ability to slip them on, but do not wear them when it is wet out.

I loved these boots when I got them. Yes, they hurt the top of your foot for quite a while until one day Bam! they're broken-in and they never hurt you again. It's just an initiation period. Here's why I'm bummed: I wore these boots for 6 months and then the top leather part of the boot broke away from the sole. This happened at the toe. So my toes stuck out! Like an old hobo caricature! The boots have fake stitching along the base of the leather where it meets the sole. If this stitching were real, the boot would not have fallen apart. When I pay this much for a pair of boots I expect quality. And quality boots last more than 6 months. Period.
