I've been eyeing these on other people and decided I needed them for Christmas. I was worried about sizing because my feet are wide. I usually wear an 8 so I ordered an 8. I tried them on and walked around the house and wasn't sure if they were going to work. Then I tried them again and that was it. I have been wearing them everywhere. They are very comfortable. I love them!

I was looking for footwear that I could slip on quickly to take the dog outside for a quick wizz late in evening. I'm sure I'll find other uses as well. Good quality of materials and manufacture, and comfortable fit.

Quality boots that make my feet look small. Bought Aussie size 6 but wear a 9 in US.

Love these boots! They're the perfect combination of weather-ready boots that look sharp! They're super comfortable, and I wore them out immediately.

I bought these boots for a trip to Spain with lots of walking! They have been perfect and very comfortable, plus stylish. I did not have to worry when it rained since they are waterproof!

Love these shoes! Comfortable from the first wear, durable enough for heavy wear including dog walking and hikes, good looking enough to wear anywhere else.

I wear these everywhere all the time with everything. I am normally a size 9 womens but I have a high arch so ordered the 10 to better get my foot in. This is right size for me when they are on and over time they will mold to your foot. Love them!

I've always wanted to try these boots and am so glad I did! They look great and are easy to slip on. I usually size up a half size in boots to make room for thicker winter socks - I did that with these and they have just enough extra room without being too large. I love the shaft height - I am 5'5", and they aren't too tall for me - they hit a spot that works well with jeans and doesn't rub ankles or calves. Highly recommend!

This is my third pair. They are easy to slip on, waterproof, comfortable and cute. I pop them on for everything from walking the dog to going out with jeans and a sweater in Fall.

I didn't have time to break these boots in before my vacation. Needless to say I was a tad leery to just take and wear. However, I did just that and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the boots were right away. I wore them for most of two weeks. They are super cute and absolutely comfortable.

Comfortable and easy on and off with pull loops - no laces to tie. Good fitting footbed, but a little loose above the ankle. Be careful with Australian sizes; best to try on before buying. Had to drop a size and a half from Australian sizes to keep my heel from slipping. Read USA sizes on box. Too warm around the ankle for above 80 degree days. Black (500) pair is not "weatherproof" as my brown (550) pair is. Australian good looks are popular, currently.

Usually wear USA Women's 8.5 M, but after reading reviews, initially ordered Size 9. Due to warehouse issues, the Size 9s never arrived, and no more were available in this style. Canceled that order, and substituted 8.5, which fit perfectly and arrived promptly. Excellent quality leather and stitching, substantial and comfortable boot, with both leather and elastic side gusset in pleasing colors. In my case fit was perfect and true to size.

They fit like a glove. I wear a 13 bought 12 as suggested. Probably a little overkill for yard work but I like high quality.

Ok, I have become addicted to Blundstones! This is my fifth pair because when I like something, I go all in. I have plantar fasciitis and these boots are the perfect kind of support for me. My foot is flat and the footbed in this boot is quite flat. There's no noticeable hump in the arch that would typically bother me. I decided to wear Blunnies every day and stop worrying about wearing pretty, pointed-toe work shoes that probably messed my feet up in the first place. I'm done with those. These boots fit securely around the ankle and are waterproof so in the winter, they are fabulous. Snow piles, puddles, slush - no problem! I will say that the 585 model didn't break in well for me and I sold that pair. They have a different tread design and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but I stick with the design on these 500s. I also have the women's model from LL Bean and those fit great. They are tighter on the heel and more "secure" in that regard. So buy some Blundstones and wear them every day! No more lacing and no more wet feet! I wear a 9 in Mucks, 9.5 in Eastland, and 10 in Crocs. In Blundstones, I'm a solid AU7. Get em! Oh and there's not a lot of difference in color between the black and the stout brown. My first pair was the brown and I wore them with everything so they will kind of pass for black.

I purchased these boots as a present to myself for Christmas 2021 and from the moment I started wearing, the fit was just perfect. I wear them with jeans as well as formal casual. I travel quite a bit and they have retained the look so far and still provide the necessary arch & sole support. I wear with socks so movement inside the boot is minimal. These are a keeper.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. It's helped with my lower back problems and I haven't worn any other shoe for weeks. It's perfect if you work on your feet or if you are always on the go.

Best boots you'll ever own. I researched them for 2 years before buying. I bought a brown pair and a month later a black pair. Probably the only boots I'll wear from now on!!!
