Perfect in every way. Size, comfort and color. A little effort to get them off, but that's a good problem!

Beautifully made and a beautiful fit. The shaft is just slightly narrow, but in a way that makes a perfect fitting boot. I prefer more arch support, and appreciate that I can put my own insoles in.

So comfortable, durable, and fashionable. I wear them with all types of clothes - dresses, casual everyday wear, work, and athletic. Best pair of shoes I own, and we’ll worth the price!

I have a narrow heel and after reading the reviews of these boots it sounded like they would fit me well--and they did! They have plenty of width in the ball of the foot, but are narrow enough in the back that my heels do not slide. They were, as mentioned, difficult to get on and off (harder getting off than on), but I imagine that the elastic will relax over time and I will then be grateful that they started off tight.
The Blundstone website says that their boots should fit with 1/4" room in the front. I wear a U.S. size 8 and ordered a size 5, and they fit perfectly. The leather is a rustic grey, but doesn't have that mottled, artificial-look of some of the other styles. The higher ankle will make them great for wearing with tights and skirts, as well as with jeans. The insoles do not offer much in the way of contouring or support, but that works for me.
These feel like sturdy, well-made boots, and I hope they will last a long time!

Love these boots! Had been thinking about buying brown boundstones for about a month and then saw that they were at a discounted price here! Bought them immediately

I have tried other brands but nothing is a comfortable as the Blundstone boots! Other reviews said the were hard to get on, it is a tighter fit but great support once they are on. They are very comfortable, no break in time at all! Very happy with my purchase!

Such beautiful boots! I have a really high arch and tiny feet and was quite concerned about how these would fit based on some of the reviews. There's somewhat of an odd way you need to twist your foot to get in them and it took a couple days of wearing for the leather upper to break in, but ohmigod. They're so fabulous! They look cool with everything you could possibly wear and they're very comfortable.
The sizing is perfectly accurate as long as you realize these are in AUSTRALIAN sizes, and that the half-sizes essentially refer to "wide" versions. Blundstone's own website is super clear about how their sizes compare to US or UK/European sizing.

Love these - so comfy. I am a 7.5 or 8 & did need to go with size 8 in these. Very durable.

These work with my orthotics and were comfortable out of the box. Beautiful shade of oxblood that will work with the black, gray, navy, et al. I tried this style in a different color and had to return it because the fit was not as comfortable as this one. There are variations in fit with these boots so be aware when considering purchasing.

These arrived in plenty of time for Christmas. My daughter loved these Blundstone boots with the decorative detail along the sides of the boot. Fit was perfect-size 8 and she wears 7 1/2 or 8.

I usually wear a 7.5 but I sized up to 8 and they are amazing. I'm SOO thrilled with this purchase. I have healed blundstones but they hurt after a while. These feel absolutely great from day 1. If you get these and it hurts in the toes at all, do not try to break them in. They will not stretch length wise, only width wise. I have very narrow feet and small ankles and they are perfect. A little loose around the ankle but my thick socks make it fine.

Very comfortable shoes. The ankles are VERY tight and hard to get boots on/off. That being said, it seems that they are loosening up with wear.

I measured my foot at just over 10 inches long; ordered the women’s 10 per Blundstone sizing guidelines. My foot was swimming in them! Sized down to a 9 and it’s a perfect fit. Difficult to get on the first few times, but a shoe horn helps. Very comfortable, good the ankle support. Happy with this purchase!

These boots are so comfortable, I'm wearing them around my house for hours at a time -- just for the joy of it. (Even though it's winter here in Miami, I'd look a bit silly wearing them outside in 80 degree weather.) But when COVID-19 is over, my husband and I have some trips planned and I'll be wearing them in locations with cooler weather. The original appeal is that they are slip-resistant. (Hopefully true. Not tested yet.) These boots are only "water resistant" but that's all I need. STYLISH -- they look fabulous with long pants and with leggings. (Probably skirts too.) I normally wear a USA size 8 in boots and the Aussie size 5 fits perfectly, with thin or medium wool socks which is all I need.

The boots are not only cute on but are super comfortable as well. The openings on the boot initially are tight but with a few times being worn they stretch out appropriately.

Great boot! I got the appropriate size for "size 8 women's", could have sizes up one but not necessary (how thick of socks ya wearing??)
Def recommend. Need to give them a few days of continual wear to break them in!

Let me just say, I absolutely LOVE these boots!! My mom bought a pair of second hand and she immediately fell in love.. It took me over a year of her having hers to take the plunge and they are so worth it. I like taller boots, so this was definitely a pro. No break in period. I wore them the day I received them and have been literally wearing them every day since! JUST BUY THEM ALREADY!!

I honestly will never buy another kind of boot. Blundstones are the best. They are worth the money and I know they'll last a long time. I had no break-in time with these and I really love the snug ankle fit (feels supportive, not inflexible). I have a short black pair and these. If LL Bean or Blundstone offered another style, I would invest. I donated all of my older boots from other stores (ok, except my beloved Dr. Martens) knowing I would wear these daily. Can't say enough good things about these!

I swear by these shoes. This is my fourth pair! I just keep buying them in every style. You seriously won’t find shoes as comfortable, stylish, and tough as these. I’m between a size 7.5 and 8 and I always get a size 5.

I didn't even know what a Blundstone was until this last fall when a couple of younger gals were wearing them to work. I asked and they told me, along with the now familiar refrains of how they were the best boots ever, yada yada. Told me the price was worth it yada yada. Then a few weeks later I saw another younger gal wearing them at the grocery store, asked her opinion, and she replied the same, the best boot ever, great investment, yada yada. Soooo...when I saw that LL Bean carried them and I had some bean bucks burning a hole in my pocket, I bought me a pair. After wearing them pretty much daily for the past few weeks, I can definitely say they are my favorite boot ever, they are worth the price, yada yada. Get yourself a pair...the hype is true!
