Didn't hold up very well and CAN NOT be Resoled. For about 14 moths I loved these boots, but way too soon the soles turned to trash. One split completely and the other is not far behind. The uppers were still in decent enough shape so I brought these to my local shoe guy to be resoled. Bad news, he tells me, this type of SOLE CAN NOT BE REPLACED. I've got other boots I paid a lot less for and have had for a decade that I'm still wearing because I was able to resole them when they wore down. These are VERY expensive disposable trash. Not happy

Had to order a full size down, much larger than size guidelines. Overall appears to be a great quality boot without laces, which is what I was looking for.

I'm a US 13, often favoring 14's. I bought a pair of these at 13 and they didn't fit. The 12's were pretty darn tight at first, but I followed advice to only wear a few hours a day to break them in slowly. Now that I've had a couple days of wearing them all day I have to say I love them.

These are great boots! I have been wearing KEEN boots forever, but they seem to not be making a short boot style that I like, so I was searching for another brand when I came upon Blunnies. These make your feet look small because of the comfortable round toe. They are beautifully made, strong and sturdy. They fit perfectly, no sizing up or down, have a moderate arch support, and feel good when I walk. That’s all I can ask for!

They fit well and are very well-made. They will probably last forever.

these are sooo much cuter than i thought they would be. i love them sooo much. they ran a half size small for me. i usually wear an 8.5, but a 9 in these fits me perfectly! i am very happy with these, i just wish they were a little more comfortable for standing for long periods of time. but not terrible comfort wise. i’ve worn worse steel toe boots for sure.

Comfortable right out of the box. Can’t tell that they are steel toe boots. Blundstone never disappoints.

Toe box actually more comfortable than on the BL990. No pinching of little toe as on the B990. Well cushioned .Medium width foot. Does not look like a work boot.

Great boots! I had to go a half-size down from the chart to get the right fit. The soles of my old Blunnies disintegrated for no good reason on my wedding day (500 model, this is the second time this happened with this kind of sole), so I wanted to find a pair with a more rugged sole. These do the trick and more. They look great and are super comfy.

Stick with the Blunnies if you like Blunnies!

I buy a pair of these boots every year for work. They are very comfortable to wear all day long. They are definitely more for function rather than fashion!

These definitely felt wider than normal to me. I'm just at the edge of a C width and these seemed wider than a D. They are definitely a whole size larger, yes on the American sizing. I am a definite 13, but fit in a size 12, ( size 11 Australian). Unfortunately I also felt some spots in the shoe that I was sure would cause "hot spots" or blisters. For example there was a bump or something in the lining near the small toe. Generally I think they would be fine for someone with wider feet, but they are way to sloppy for me.

Like the style. For the price, I don’t see the value. Georgia slip ons are more comfortable.

Did not realize from picture/description that this is basically a steel toed work boot. Had a pair that looked similar before minus the construction safety features that made it too clunky/clumsy for Florida.

These are very overpriced for what they are. I would recommend Georgia Romeo revamp ten times over these. I would return them but felt the need to wear them to fairly compare. After two months of daily wear I have regret. They do seem to run big as other reviews state, 1/2 size in my case.
