Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1306 Dress Chelsea Boot

These boots are great! Couldn't recommend them more. First time Blundstone purchaser, but I've got a feeling I'll be a long time wearer.

After reading other reviews, I ordered a half size smaller (women's 8) than what I usually wear (women's 8.5). They fit perfectly, even with thicker socks. So consider sizing down. These boots are gorgeous and look great dressed up or down. The leather isn't quite a suede, but it's got a velvety feel. I ordered some Nikwax waterproofer to keep 'em dry. They've been comfortable out of the box and break in easily, but the insole could be cushier. Easily fixable by buying insoles. A final note that the color is a little on the bronzier side—not quite the deep brown in the photo. I like the actual color, which is why I kept the boots, but just a heads up that the photo isn't totally accurate.

I've just ordered my second pair of 1306s. I wore my first pair nearly everyday of the past five years, and the inside lining is just now starting to tear. I treat them about once a year with a wax leather guard, and they've held up through rain, snow, dirt, and mud. The new ones are decidedly more grey in color than my old ones, which are more brown, but I think they'll grow on me. They have the same comfort and style, so hopefully they have the same longevity.

I've owned these boots for almost three years now and they're probably good for another three years. I wear them everyday in the fall and spring and weather permitting for the rest of the year. I have never owned a pair of boots or shoes that have lasted as long as these have. The inserts suck but I bought a pair of decent ones and slipped then in instead. These boots are quality and will do you right!

I just got on Zappos to order a new pair of Blundstone's to replace my first ones. I looked at my account to find the style number and size and I was amazed to discover I've had them for 3 years! That's pretty impressive considering I'm on my feet on a construction site every day. They're still in great shape, the soles are holding strong, the leather is in great condition, the elastic is still elasticy.. The only reason I'm replacing mine is because I got them wet and then covered in stone dust, and they're looking pretty much like work boots. I want a new pair to be a little cleaner and fresher. I'm all about these Blunnies!

Ordered for adult son as a gift, he loved the boots . They are stylish, well made and comfortable. (Did have to exchange for 1/2 size smaller.) Zappos is great , returns and exchanges so easy!!

I freaking love these boots! Getting ready to buy my 3rd pair since 2000...yes, they last and wear beautifully. I use them for horse back riding and related activities. Very comfortable and durable. I never loved a boot this much. Thank you Blundstone!

One size too large. Order at least 1/2 if not a whole size down.

My son really liked the boot but it was too small. We are ordering a half size up.

They are roomy, which is what I wanted but they aren't falling off despite the extra room. They are so comfortable. I'm a primary care doctor and wear them to work with dresses or skirts, or just around with skinny jeans. I am usually a 7 and I ordered the "US 7" and they fi more like 7.5, but I'm good with that

I wish manufacturers could be more consistent with their sizing. Typically, I wear Women's US 11 / European 42, sometimes 42.5 in boots. I ordered these in 8.5 and they were too big. Turns out I wear a Men's US 9 / AU 8 in Blundstones.

I always wear a 10 in womens and a 10.5 in Nike sneakers. Because of reviews that they run big, I ordered this size (9.5 W) along with a size 10 W. The 10 were slightly too big and the 9.5 fit perfect. If you're unsure at all, I would say definitely order a half size down from what you normally wear.

I'm a size 7 in most boots/shoes and these fit perfect in AU 4,but unfortunately found them to be too bulky.

These are so comfortable right out of the box! I usually wear a US Women's 7.5 or 8 if the shoe runs narrow. After reading several reviews here I ordered size AUS 4. They fit perfectly with regular socks and thicker socks.

Love these boots to wear in the PNW winter.

Super nice shoe, really comfortable, classic blundstone look and durability. Very recommended. I did actually go a half-size smaller than normal which fit me better...

These boots meet a good line between every day boots and drs bits. They worked great for me.

Run a tad larger than I expected, but will most often be wearing these with a thicker sock on colder days. Normally wear a U.S. 11, ordered the AUS 10. May try an AUS 9.5 with my next pair. Other than that, these are fine in every way.

Comfortable right out of the box. I have walked and walked and walked in these. I also work hours a day on a cement floor, and these are comfortable and have kept my feet warm in cooler temps on a chilly floor. The toe box is nice and roomy as that is where my feet are a little wide. I like the somewhat more rustic finish on these and the slightly more streamlined sole -- just what I wanted in a stylish, comfortable bootie! I normally wear a EU39 or size 8 to 8.5. I chose the size to fit a US 7.5 and they are perfect.

I bought these as a gift for my sister and she loves them! I bought a pair for myself from Zappos last year, and am so pleased with these shoes that I have slowly started to outfit my entire family with them, my other sister being next on the list. These shoes are very comfortable, very versatile, and very high quality. I wear them almost every day in the fall and winter seasons. I'll only be ordering these from Zappos due to their great customer service and awesome shipping options!

These boots are amazing...stylish with a laid back Aussie vibe. Brown color works with everything, and fit is comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear US 9 to 9.5 and I purchased the UK 7.5 which is a perfect fit. This is my second pair of Blunnies...first pair lasted 10 years. You will love these boots!

Bought a size AU 7 in both these and a Blundstone 550 and these were noticeably larger. A beautifully crafted boot, but in my opinion there aren't suited for women as much as some of the other Blundstone styles.

LOVE these boots, but they fit at least 1/2 size too big... and sadly, the size I think will work (women's 6.5) is out of stock EVERYWHERE. I actually purchased a different style at a shop in town and the sizing was more accurate. Every style is different with these shoes, FYI!! Order this one 1/2 size down for sure.

This is my 3rd pair and I wish I could wear them all the time. They are the most comfortable footwear I've ever had. The other pairs are older but in great shape, just different colors and leathers. You won't be disappointed.

I am so happy with these boots. I live in the city but I bought these before a trip to Ireland to have something to wear in the mud and rain, and I am so glad that I did. These were extremely comfortable from the beginning, roomy and supportive. I usually wear a women's size 9 or 9½, I got these in AU 6½ and I definitely could have gone down another half size but I like the extra room to wear thick socks. These are sturdy and my friend has the same pair that she has been wearing for over 12 years. The slimmer sole also makes these cute enough to wear in the city and not look like barn boots. These are amazing boots.
