Incredibly low across the instep. Could not get in, though the shoe is clearly both longer and wider than my foot.

They just don’t seem like the same quality that they used to make. Returned.

This is the third pair of these boots I've owned. I wear them almost every day and my last pair gave me five years of life. Once broken in, they are very comfortable for everything from hiking to dancing.

I love these boots - it's my second pair of the same style. They fit perfectly and required very little if any break-in. I usually order shoes a half-size bigger and these fit great. These are so comfortable that I got the first pair scuffed up and worn enough to warrant a new pair. (I'm also a Blundstone junkie and own three other styles.)

These are beautiful boots! True to size and comfortable out of the box. I usually wear a women’s 9 US and the 6 AU were perfect. Could also wear the 9.5 US with thicker socks.

Once I got the right size figured out, these boots turned out to be the most comfortable boots I own. I usually take a size 7 or 7 ½ in shoes and a size 8 in sneakers, maybe because of the sock with the latter. I ended up choosing a size 8 in the Blundstone boot, allowing enough room for a sock and a hard plastic orthotic for arch support. I love the red side elastic in the Chelsea boot which seems to go with everything!

This is not a pair of dainty boots. They’re solid, handsome, comfortable, practical, & very well made. The red accents make them unique.

I loved my first pair of all black ones and had to have another. My foot didn’t fit in the other blundstone styles but the 550 is perfect. There is no breaking them in they are comfortable from day one. Only thing I advise is high socks do the top of the boot doesn’t rub your ankle as you walk that can happen.

These boots are gorgeous. I ordered my normal size, and they fit great. Initially, they were a bit snug around my ankles, but after one full day of wear, they were more comfortable. I did a fair amount of walking, and they are not as comfortable as a hiking boot, but for every day wear and trekking around a bit, they’re perfect. The red stitching, pull tabs, and red sole are classic Blundies.

Love these. I'm a long time Blunnie fan. These shoes are rugged and fashionable all at once. Easy to pull on and very comfortable.

I bought the AU 7.5 and it fits fine with no socks...plenty of toe room for my crazy right pinky toe! I did use the innersoles that came with it....nice comfortable cushion. I hiked yesterday with no socks....no blisters! I wear these all day and don't take them off until I am ready to put on my pajamas. Am considering buying another pair in one half size larger to accommodate winter socks. My daughter has worn her Blundies for years and loves them! That is why I finally bought a pair for myself!

I usually wear a 8.5 in USA women's shoe sizes - so I went up to a 9 when I bought these boots. I wore them to work right out of the box. Exceptionally comfortable. My boss noticed them and made a complimentary remark - and one of my co-workers wants to get a pair. I live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, it mostly just rains here in the Winter with some snow at times. These Blundstones are not insulated and an insulated pair may be a good idea for folks in colder climates.

Just received this in 7 1/2 AU...I normally wear about a 10 but I have wide feet and a very finicky pinkie toe on my right foot. I inserted the innersole that came with the boots...and have been wearing these around all day without socks...and not a peep from my picky feet! Plenty of room in the toe box so my toes are not fighting for room! I feel like I would have to go up half a size if I decide to wear heavy socks though. I had purchased these boots in a 6 1/2 earlier this year but they were just too small so I finally got around to exchanging them for this size....wishing now that I had not waited so long! Am already considering ordering another pair in a different color!

Love these shoes. Got compliments in them from day 1. After wearing sneakers throughout the pandemic and swearing off heels and flats, I was apprehensive about stepping back in even to Chelsea boots, but the extra liner made these the perfect fit for my sort-of but not truly narrow feet and the heel cushioning combined with the shoe’s construction made them feel light and comfortable all night long — which included walking many city blocks.

I consistently wear a US 8.5 and EU 39 but the AU 5.5 was a bit tight. I recommend sizing up a half size.

I take a 7-1/2 US size and have a wide foot. The website recommended ordering next size up to accommodate a wide foot, so I ordered US size 8. I received the equivalent Australian size 5. They are quite roomy and have a nice wide toe box. I used the sole inserts provided and the boots are a comfortable fit. My daughter has a pair and she tells me the leather will stretch quite a bit over time, which is fine with me, I will just wear a thicker pair of socks. I love the look of these boots and the scarlet red elastic gussets are very snazzy!
