Customer Reviews Blundstone BL585 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

I have the same shoes in a different color (5.5 AU) from a couple seasons ago, so I ordered the same size in these and they felt way too short and tight in the arch - so tight I got a blister on top of my foot just from trying them on a few times with different socks. So naturally I ordered half size up (6 AU) and they were huge - too long and wide. My feet were literally swimming in them. Very disappointing. I had to return. don't know what's wrong with these shoes this time around. The old pair I have is super comfortable and fits just right. I might order my regular size again just to see if maybe there was something wrong with that one pair...

Fit and felt great right out of the box. Extra insole was helpful in ensuring the right fit. Very easy to slip on. Third wear was for an entire day and feet felt great. Overall construction seems okay. Would buy again!

I love these boots so much that I purchased them in multiple colors! The rustic brown looks better in real life than in stock photos, definitely more of a natural sort of distressing rather than patchy looking. Also, Australian sizing is different than American in that the half sizes are wider, but not any longer. They do run a bit small, though. I am a US women’s size 8.5, and the size 9 (AUS 6) fits perfectly. They are super comfy right out of the box and surprisingly lightweight! They also come with an extra pair of thinner insoles in case you need a little more or less room.

All fit perfect, just need a little more padding in some of shoe

I love these. I am a plus size woman with wide feet and large ankles. I was convinced these would not fit. But they do and they look and feel amazing. They will take some breaking in but if you are hesitant about buying these … go for it!! They are worth the hype

I’m normally a women’s 8.5-9 in most shoes. After a lot of research I decided to try the women’s 9 (AU 6) even though my foot measures just over 10 inches which is usually an EU 40-41. I didn’t want these boots to look like clown shoes so I figured I would give an EU 39 a try. So far so good. My toes have a quarter inch of room in the front with thinner socks, which is the recommend fit, and they are still comfortable with thicker socks for the cold Minnesota winter. The snug fit makes it a little difficult (almost painful) to get on and off and there is some rubbing on the top of my feet but from what I’ve read that is just part of the breaking-in process. Once on my feet they are extremely comfortable. I am very pleased with my purchase and with proper care should have these boots for many years to come. For a final note: at first look these boots didn’t feel worth $200 but after wearing them a while they now look the quality one would expect from Blundstones.

Bought this for my daughter as a gift. She was able to put the necessary orthotics in them for her flat feet, and they are now her favorite boots.

I have been waiting two long years to find the right pair of Blundstones and these were it. The do not look like this picture, but if you’re familiar with what the 585’s look like then you shouldn’t be surprised when they come in. I’m usually a 7 or 7 1/2 and I ordered the 7 US (4AU) and they’re perfect.

I bought this pair to replace a pair of the same model I've had for nearly 7 years. That pair was worn nearly daily at work at a veterinary office. I'm on my feet on a tile floor most of the day and these shoes have been the most comfortable and longest lasting ones I've tried. The leather held up great with some routine care. The tread on the sole has worn down over time which is why I got the new pair for work. I expect to get many years out of them.

All-around great shoe. Can wear with leggings jeans, you name it! Wear them to church, to dinner, or work. Matches everything! Comes with extra insoles for more cushioning if needed. All around a great boot!

Admittedly, I’m not an overly shoe-centric guy. I am, however, a person that deeply appreciates things that are made extremely well. Be it a shoe, a woodworking tool, or a pair of socks, I like to buy things that are well thought and very well made. These shoes fit that bill. They are extremely comfortable and are built to last a long time. I have no regrets and recommend these shoes highly.

Hello! It’s my first time to write a review here. I have wanted to get this shoes for a while and finally got them couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I returned/exchanged 3 times, because the size wasn’t quite right every time. My regular shoes size is 7 and my feet are narrow and long. Somehow I feel my toes are touching the shoes so I had to exchanged multiple times to get a “right” one. So I end up ordering US woman size 9 but this time extra insole was missing..????? Shoes by itself looks great and feels great, and I have noticed each time when I got the shoes, I can tell the shades are slightly different, not exactly the same shade each time, so I am hoping this time when I get the final exchange, delivers the perfect shade and insole is coming together.. Otherwise I love this shoes and excited to wear this cold weather. :)

I usually take a size 7.5 US. So first ordered a 4.5 & while they fit with a thin sock there was no wiggle room. So forget using the additional liners or a thick sock. Then tried a size 5- =perfect! Used the liners & a medium weight sock. Can even probably wear a thick sock. So suggest sizing up a half size . What really helped was the Blundstone measuring guides. I drew an outline of my foot on paper & measured it- ordered accordingly. Very comfortable. Even think the rustic leather is very cool looking. My pair is subtle. These may be my everyday go to boots. Thanks Blundstone & Zappos!

I've had these for a week and am still breaking them in, but they are getting more and more comfortable. I get them in an AUS 11 and they will eventually conform to my US 12.5W foot. I have high insteps and am EEE, my right foot is almost long enough to need a AUS 12, so the perfect fit is elusive for me, but with break in, these get good enough. I've tried the AUS 12 but my feet swim in them. I've also tried the classic unlined 500s and the dress style, but neither of those will work for me. The 550 + is the way to go. This is my second pair and I love them. The utility coupled with lightness and good looks is unparalleled. The construction is solid and the leather beautiful. They are part of my daily work uniform- matched with taupe twill trousers and a oxford or polo- a sharp, adventurous look that is at home in the office, out in the field, or at the brewery afterwards.

Sturdy yet comfortable, as good as their reputation

I purchased my boots in 2016. There was a short break in period. Now these boots are one with my feet. I'm thinking about a new pair however my current pair show no signs of giving up for a long long time. A new pair of blunnies is more a want than need. ?

Perfect! The rustic brown color is amazing and the shoes look fantastic. Zappos is the best

Amazing! I’ve had these boots for a year and the sole hasn’t worn down at all. The footbed is incredibly comfortable. These boots look good with just about any pair of pants, leaning more towards the casual/biz-casual. The only gripe I have is if/when they need to be “maintained” as far as keeping the leather “fresh and healthy”—make sure to use a lighter color shoe polish/cream; because the one I used along with the wax made them way too dark brown from the original lighter brown color. I did follow Blundstone’s recommendations, but the color was off and made for a darker brown boot in the end. No matter, I’d order these again.

I got really bad blisters, but only because I was wearing the wrong size. I went a whole size above my usual and the boots fit perfect now. If they don't fit right, just keep going up in size.

Sizing is very tricky. I emailed Blundstone and they said their half sizes only widen the shoe. I suggest going a full size up. I'm normally a (US women's) size 8 and I ordered both an 8 and 8.5 In both, my toe was sliding forward when I walked. I'm trying a 9 and hope that will work out.

This are great boots and my husbands go-to boots for just about everything. They have get traction! He is on his 3rd pair. I would highly recommend them.

I have had this boot for about two weeks and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of footwear. Extremely comfortable, durable and light weight. I can spend all day on my feet in these boots!

Had my doubts when I first tried them on out of the box, they felt a bit tight through the mid section. After 2 weeks I couldn't be happier about a lifeless pair of shoes. They're great, they broke in wonderfully. I'm a 9.5 us and I ordered the 8.5 aus. My feet are normal/wide.
