Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1316 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Super comfortable from the first wearing. Accurate size, but comes with inserts in case one foot slightly different than the other. Love the red/black color combo. Very well made....definitely a keeper...

I wear an 8.5 women's so my initial pair I purchased was a size 8.5. They were just a bit too short and had to order the 9. These fit perfectly.

the shoe fits really well, but i do think the size runs a little small. i had the blue and the red pair and i took forever to figure out which color i wanted. finally went with the red. i love them. they are perfect for winter time and fall wear. i am a massage therapist and they will be super easy to work in. i need shoes that are comfortable and moveable. i live in the north east, so they have to be functional for the cold as well. been wanting a pair for ages. i love the splash of color with red....color in my wardrobe never scares me.

These are as hot as they look. I get comments every time I wear them. They are not uber-uber comfortable -- I wouldn't go hiking in them, but for day-to-day, work, etc. they are great. I replaced insoles with insulted ones, and wear them on wet, cold days.

Understated style and fun. Perfect construction for the urban Northwest.

Great fit and very comfortable.

I wear a US 9, ordered the AUS 8 and fit was good. Adding the enclosed inserts underneath the removable footbed added a nice layer of padding. Color of leather is a warm black almost to a dark brown.

Love these! I did have to send my first pair back only because they recommend ordering a size up. I only did a half size which I found out has more to do with the amount of material over the toes and top part of the foot. Very comfortable! I was able to wear them all day long the first day without any issues. Will definitely order this brand again and can recommend.

These are great walking shoes. I walked all over Ireland in the rain and they still look great. I had many people complement the style. Easy to slip on and off.

This BL1316 is my first pair of Blundstone boots and I am very pleased with the quality, style and comfort. I have bunions, and width can present challenges with some shoes and boots, but immediately, these boots felt comfortable. I walked a good distance in them the first time I wore them to a Red Sox game. Love the pop of red and the comfort. I wear them everywhere, in my garden working, running errands, and I’ve even found them to be a good driving shoe for my sports car! Some boots are too clumsy for clutch work, but not these Blundies! Who knew all these years, I’m glad I found them.

LOVE these boots! I pulled them on (snug at first but loosened right up) and wore them all day without a pinch or a rub. They are stylish, fun and good for the Spring/Fall/Winter seasons here in New England. Plenty of room to wiggle my toes and mug comes right off.

This is the second pair of Blunnies—in fact, this is the second pair of this exact boot. From a style standpoint, I love the red elastic sides, the red stitching on the deep black leather, and the red sole. Combined, these are super cool-looking. They are a little hard to polish or oil and still keep the stitching clean and bright, but it was 3 years before I bought this second pair, and the first is still wearable for yard work and the like—they're not great looking and the heels have worn a bit. As far as structure and fit, I have had surgery on each foot twice (bunion surgery, and then surgery to fix the first surgery), and these accommodate my 3/4 length orthotics, without being too tight across the last (note: my feet are nearly flat, but my orthotics have a decent arch), yet they stay on snuggly. They give a nice bit of toe room right away, and will loosen up more over time. The boots on their own don't have any arch support. There are 2 sets of inserts: one with a small arch and one flat pair to adjust for more a snugger fit. This is a nice touch on Blundstone's part, and particularly useful for me, since my orthotics are only 3/4 length, so I can use the flat insert under my orthotics. My feet stay dry walking through rain puddles an inch or two deep, and even in flowing gutters. Not super-warm, but with warm socks, they are plenty cozy.

Very stylish and practical boots. Easy to get on and off. Love these boots!

The red isn't as bright as it appears in the picture. The footbed is very comfortable, so if the boots hadn't been a bit too tight (I tried an 8, because the 9 was too big), I would have kept them, even though they are bulkier than I expected (I should have expected the bulkiness, because they are unisex boots).

LOVE these in black and red. I've wanted a pair of Blunnies since I first saw them over 20 years ago, and I finally took the plunge. I love the pops of red, and they're practical - I can wear them in the rain, and the traction is great.

Great shoe! Very comfortable

Beautiful boot for my narrow foot. It's a snug but comfortable fit and my heel does not slip. I find it to be true to size, most of my winter boots are a 9.5. I was able to wear a thick sock with no trouble. The sole is a flexible, soft rubber that isn't slippery when it's wet.

This was my first pair of Blundstones, but not the last! I love the funky styling. The red is not as bright as it appears in the photo--it's more of a tomato red. These are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I took them to the beach right after I received them, and it ended up being the only shoe I wore for the entire week! They are great for tromping around in the city, country, anywhere! It's my favorite. ??????

Best boots ever. Second pair I wear them for for work and one pair for going out.

Love these boots! This is my first time trying Blundstones & I'm very happy with them. Looks stylish & are extremely comfortable right out of the box. I've gotten many compliments on them (both at the barn & in public).

These are awesome boots. My second pair of Blundstones. These run a bit smaller than the other pair I own. I just love these!l

Awesome and highly recommended. The only thing I would note is that the red soles are kind of an "off red", but I LOVE these boots! I wear a women's 8 and ordered these in a 5.5. Fit is perfect, but I did install the additional inserts they provide.

I ordered a pair of all black Blundstones from Zappos several years ago. When I saw the ones with the red elastic, I had to have them too. So comfortable. I wear them every day. Zappos provided great delivery service as well. Highly recommend Blundstones and Zappos!

I have owned several pairs of Blundstones. I bought this pair for the red accents. The thing to know about Blundstones is the sizing, which is Australian unisex. It is best to look at the Blundstone website in order to understand and choose the right size. The 500 series runs wide, which suits me. They are durable, although the soles do break down after a while. The ankle is tight.

I have 2 pairs of these boots. I originally bought the brown ones and loved them. Then I saw these AWESOME black and red ones. I love the style twist - adding some color to a classic boot. Thank you Blundstone! Dare I sa ... I may just need to buy one more with the plaid elastic!?!
