Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1306 Dress Chelsea Boot

This boot works well for me. It seems to be just a tiny bit larger than other Blundstone boots and that'w what makes it work for me. It's was comfortable after only a few hours wearing around the house and fine on the first full day of wearing. Good cushion, leather nicer after applying minkoil, really fits well. A 10.5 really did translate to an 11.5.

Good looking boot but a little tight across the top of the foot if you have high arches. Comfortable enough out of the box but hoping they loosen up with more wear. Slippery on snow and wet surfaces. For me not as comfortable as my Timberlands.

Unable to get my foot into the boot. Therefore unable to give accurate review of width or support.

It was very difficult getting my wide foot into the boot. I ordered size 9 women’s (7 men’s) but returned because of the struggle with the instep. Once I got past the instep, my bunion was just too (big) uncomfortable in the boot. Quality of the boot seemed great; I just have hairdresser feet??

These felt true to size, I ordered my usual 11 and felt like I could have fit in a moderately thick winter sock. I bought rustic brown and was very disappointed in the color. I was expecting a light brown and the shoe was a washed out grey brown. Will exchange for all black or a darker color.

Great shoe. Awkward sizing.. I purchased 10 and 10,5 in order to choose better fit, and 10 is bigger than 10,5 by 2 millimeters (I compared soles). One may say - wait, perhaps they were labeled wrong. Nope - there is 10 and 10,5 imprint on the rubber sole. Disappointing. I am returning both pairs, as they are both too big and baggy.

Bought these for walking my dog. It turned out to be a full size large, so I had to put thick insoles to make them fit. Decent quality boots. Fabric lining makes it harder to slip in them.

Really attractive boots, but the sizing for this style is incorrect on Zappos. Sizes are off by a half size too big. The sizing is also inconsistent with the sizing for other styles AND the labels on the box. (For example, I wear a 10 in US women's sizing. Every other style shows that a 7AU is a 10 us women's. This particular style says a 7.5 AU is a 10 US women's. When my box arrived, the label said 7.5 AU/10.5 US. So, just be aware. I ordered a pair in 7AU, and, sure enough, they're the correct size.)

The shoes are okay but I could hardly get them on and off. The opening or shaft of the boot is way too tight around my ankles so I would like to return for a refund.

I was looking for something less casual and felt the color on his made it a VERY casual boot. Ended up going with a dressier Chelsea from Thursday Boot company in black brown color that is downright elegant.

I was very excited to receive these boots, however they were not for me. The leather was very stiff and plastic like and after wearing them a few times my lower back hurt. They looked cute, but sadly they were returned because they were not comfortable at all for me.

I ordered the same model from Zappos, but in a different color - stout brown - wonderful. I wear size 10 Blundstones in AU sizing (size 11.5 in US). Ordered the second one in rustic brown and wore them immediately, relying on the fact that they are the same size -10 - as my other pair. Big mistake. The shoes ended up feeling at least a size larger. And, being worn, now I cannot return them to Zappos and stuck with a pair of unwearable shoes. Inconsistent sizing.

I really want to love these boots, but after 10 months of wear and breaking in they are causing huge blisters on my heals if I have to walk more than a few city blocks. They are super comfortable until on split second and then they suddenly become torture devices. I’m disappointed because I researched for weeks on what size to get, even emailed and tweeted the company for sizing advice and spoke to Zappos on the phone about which size to go with, because I wanted these to be my perfect boot to wear 365 days a year. Wearing around the office, okay I can manage. Walk to get drinks after work, sorry I wore the wrong shoes today.

I hate to have to say..BUT..IF you have a TINY foot...THEN...these boots will suit you..At the price they always remain...They are NOT MEANT for foot size over 2...and forget if you have an OLD foot with bones...I couldn't even get my foot INTO this style! VERY VERY disappointed..besides them LOOKING VERY CLUNKY and big !!no good for me! with a size 10.5

Ouch. Decided to return these before I even put the second one on. The leather is hard as rock. It felt like I was wearing a big wooden clog. They also seemed to be very tall, meaning my foot was rattling around in it vertically. No thanks.

Watch out, folks. Zappos’ description picture is WAY off. These are more of a grayish stone color… certainly not the rich brown shown here. Wonderful boots, but you’re definitely not getting what you see.

Disappointed, unable to get my foot in the boot.

Still waiting for them to arrive

This is a beautiful boot but I could not even get my foot into it. I have a high arch but I had hoped to at least try the shoe on.
