These boots are AMAZING! Not only are they durable, but they are incredibly comfortable too.

I bought these several months ago and I am very happy with the quality and comfort of these boots. Initially I thought the footbed lacked cushioning but this has not been an issue. I expect these boots will last a long time but I would definitely buy again.

I looked at these boots for a while before I made the leap to buy them but I am so happy that I did. They were super comfortable right out of the box. My feet are always cold and we have been having a very wet winter and spring so I wanted something that was going to keep them warm and dry and I was tired of wearing around my Hunters with heavy socks. These are more fun and have a better sole. Plus they are more comfortable and less clunky. They are a little difficult to get on and off at first but they are wearing in a bit as I go.

These shoes are perfect! I usually have issues in finding shoes that fit right because my feet are a little wide and I have athletic calves. They took a few days to break in which didn't hurt like other boots and now they are the most comfortable boots I have ever had.

I ordered a half a size up based on reviews that I read. Just enough room to wear them with thicker socks. Roomy with thinner socks, but not too big. These boots are super comfortable!

Like others, I felt the shoe as it was suggested for my size (US 8.5 / AU 5.5) was too small. It was simply too short with my toes hitting the front and the feeling of pressure in the heel. I ordered a size up (US 9 / AU 6) and these fit well. I do have a wide foot with a high instep and the shoe works for both. They seem like the type of shoe that will last for a long time, which makes the price feel o.k. (you get what you pay for). I hope that I'll still find them stylish in 5 years or more, but feel like they may become such a staple that style will be secondary.

If you have wide feet be sure to get the a larger boot. Their half sizes are odd, usually you can just get a half size larger and there is more room in the length and the width, Blundstone's half sizes are just in the width. They're really comfortable, they stay dry when it is wet outside, look pretty good - I think I'd like a more natural leather looking version myself though.

Love these boots! I normally wear a size 8 and have a somewhat narrow foot, but purchased a size 8.5 based on other reviews here. The 8.5 fits perfectly. Note: I am wearing thicker socks with these for added warmth. I like the rugged snow/ice gripping soles and the fact that they are waterproof.

I wore these for an entire weekend, walking around downtown Los Angeles, straight out of the box. I need a good amount of support, so I often have to slip in an insole I get from New Balance, but this was not necessary with these boots. Comfortable, stylish, classic, these are now my favorite boots.

Love these shoes! Got them almost 2 weeks ago and have been wearing them almost every day! They're super cute with almost everything.They took about a week of wearing them all day to fully wear them in. I would wear them with darker socks at first, since the tanned leather can stain your socks at first. This is common with stained leather boots, as this has happened to me with a few other pairs of non blundstone leather boots. They also ran a bit too small on me. Im usually a 6.5/7 womans shoe so i ordered a 7 but had to exchange them for a 7.5 because it was so difficult and a bit painful to get the shoe on.(I'm 5'7 and 120 lbs.) It still is tight with the 7.5 but I know it will loosen after some time. Overall I cannot wait to wear them all season and even hike with them in the summer!

Ordered these as Christmas gift for my daughter rather than order rain boots that cost $135 figured I’d spend a little more for something she could wear for rain and for everyday. These are really beautiful well made boots and look super cute on. The 8 fit perfectly as I had ordered a 7.5 too. She loves the color, and these will last her forever! Zappos is amazing with their shipping! I ordered and received them the next day! Insane! Love Zappos!

Fit is snug but intentionallu went down a half size because I find boots to stretch out. Color looks different in person. Great quality boots and good for walking in the city and exploring the countryside.

Fits exactly! (I ordered the AU 7.5/US Women's 10.5) I normally wear a Women's 10.5 and have a medium width foot, and these fit just right. These boots are medium-light feeling on the feet (not feather-light; but definitely not that heavy, clunky feel that some boots have.) Supportive and comfortable. ((I would suggest using a spray on leather protector after purchase, as I did accidentally drop a drop of melted butter on the top of the boot, and it stained immediately. Not water/stain proof at all. However, easily remedied had I sprayed them first with a leather sealant.))

I had been eyeing a pair for a while, and am glad I invested in them. I've found them to be particularly useful while traveling through airport security. They can be dressed up or down. Would recommend ordering a half size smaller than your typical shoe size. I run a 10 in most shoes, but was a 9.5 in these.

Boots were purchased as a gift. She loves, loves, loves them! Word of caution, I had to order these twice due to the manufactured size being Australian. Use the reference guide. A size 6 is actually a US 9.

Once you get the size you like and replace the insoles with Pedal Viva Sport insoles, they'll be perfect. I's recommend actually trying them on before you purchase or you may be making a few returns. I Take an American 10 and I'm wearing a 10.5 (AU size). The 9.5 (AU) is a bit too small. I could probably go with the AU 10 depending on the thickness of sock. I am told that the only difference in the half sizes in AU sizing is width, not length, so the AU 10 and AU 10.5 are the same length, the 10.5 is a little wider. With that being said, the boots are relatively light weight, well made, sturdy, and comfortable. Good for just about anything except formal wear and Blundstone does make a dress version with a square toe box. These boots are great for knocking around Arizona.

I took my time deciding on which Blundstones to buy and I am SO happy with these. The finish, the comfort, the style is so classic. I've already walked them through a sloshy, snowy puddle or two and they are waterproof as ever! Would recommend breaking them in with a pair of high socks as they can rub on the back of your ankle just a tad. But not too uncomfortable and I'm so pleased. Can't wait to take them on all my future adventures!!

These boots are awesome. I am an 8.5 and did not know whether to size down to an 8 or up to a 9. I got the 8s and wore them for a week or two and they were too small so I exchanged for a 9 and they fit perfectly. So easy to break in and enough room for thick socks. I'm glad L.L. Bean let me exchange the boots even though I had worn them outside a bit, great policy! I highly recommend trying them on first. Keep in mind that their half sizes are just wider but not longer length.
I wear them everyday! Quality boots that will last a long time.

I first tried a pair of Keen's, which were felt too long in the heel, while rubbing on the top of my foot between my foot and leg. The Blundstone's have a similar styling but much better fit. Both are nice shoes, I'm staying with the Blundstone's. Just got them, so I'll have to report back after a few months (and winter) of wear.
