Customer Reviews Blundstone BL587 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Loved the color but maybe because of unisex they were WAY TOO WIDE.

So far I can only comment on the fit which seems true to size. I wear women’s 10 in regular shoes and 10.5 in boots. I ordered the AU 7.5 (10.5 W) and they fit even with thick socks. I couldn’t have gone any smaller than that. The width is wide which I like. I have bunions from playing soccer so I don’t have many options for shoes. When I find something with a roomier toe area it’s worth it to me for the extra cost. Most shoes are too narrow for me. These are a little hard to pull on and off (I assume they may get a little easier with time), but it’s still faster than tying boots. They aren’t floppy and won’t fly off, that’s for sure. I like the rustic black color but was limited to what was available in my size. I saw online that Blundstone has this same color boot with Vibram grippier soles called All Terrain for a few dollars more. I’m deciding if I will eventually get those instead. These soles on the classic boot don’t have much tread, though it seems they work just fine for others. These don’t have much arch support which works for me since I need more flat shoes. You would need an insole insert if you have high arches.

For me they fit very narrow in the calves.

I was surprised by how well they fit my long narrowish foot overall, but the tips of my long toes were just touching the edge. Sadly, I must return.

I'm typically an 8.5 and the 5.5 felt like it aligned to that size. I'm really hoping the front arch stretches out a bit soon as they are really painful to get on and off right now, but feel great once on.

More comfortable than I expected! Super lightweight and fit true to size. Insole could use a tad more arch .

I love Blundstones, wear them with everything including shorts and skirts. This is maybe my fifth or sixth pair and compared to all my others, these are very tight over the in step. I’ve stretched them, worn them for months, and they are still tight and uncomfortable. Maybe it’s just this one pair or maybe the rustic black leather is stiffer. The color is great but I would definitely be sure to check the fit as they may not stretch to be comfortable enough.

runs small, ordered half size up and still feels a little snug.

Absolutely love the colour and style, however, Size 9 in this boot is slightly too short so my toes didn’t have quite enough space lengthwise and hit the front uncomfortably when I walked (Aus 6.5 in Blundstones are considered a US 9 wide - they don’t do true half sizes). I also tried this model in a size 10 (Aus 7) which was too big overall, mostly because the width was hugely different from the 9, looked and felt too big on, even with thick socks, so sadly neither worked for me and I am having to return. Am going to try a different Blundstone series as I understand they all fit slightly differently.

The sizing on these boots is so far off. The size 7 felt longer than the size 7.5, but was much more narrow. They had to go back. Sad as the material is a beautiful leather.

I typically wear US 8.5 which is equivalent to EU size 39, and my feet are medium width. I ordered these in 8.5 (5.5) per chart and they were half size too small and box marked 38.5. So if you need a 39 you have order 9 (6) and so I did. Unfortunately the 9 is like they took 8.5 and added 1/2" all around. They are the right length, but they are too wide all the way up the ankle. Would work if you were going to wear these with super thick socks. If you want to wear these with no socks or thin socks they look terrible on. I tried the insole which really did nothing other lift my foot in the boot a bit. They don't compensate much for the width. Even if they did would be loose at the ankle so that doesn't work. I also found that they made my feet overheat. So not sure there's really a way to make these fit if you're in between sizes.

I had to order these boots 3x to get the right size. As someone with a fairly standard women’s size 10 foot, I was very surprised to find the AU size conversions a full size off. I ordered an AU 7 and 7.5 before determining that I’m actually an AU 8. But as always, Zappos customer server was amazing throughout. I was able to order and return 2 wrong sizes and 1 right size within 5 business days. Love it! Now that I actually have the right size, I’m initially very happy with these boots. I think they’ll be great for sloppy Chicago winter commutes and camping adventures alike. Excited to put them to the test :)
