These definitely need to be broken in (they’re tough leather booth, duh) but even from wearing them in my bedroom for 10 minutes they’re already more comfortable than when I put them on. When I first got them out of the box I was worried they were too small because they squeeze across the top of the foot and at the leg opening— but I have heavy calves, so I’m not too surprised. I’ve never owned Blundstones before but a friend has had hers for years and I see how broken in they’ve gotten, so I’m going to give these a chance. They are NOT too tight in the toe box and I think that’s what matters. I have wide size 8 feet so I usually buy 8.5s. I bought the size 5 Blundstones.

Lovely boots, but color was much lighter than pictured and described. Color is definitely grey, not anywhere dark enough to be called black. These high tops did not fit; I have very high arch and could not even pull the boots on. Returned for the black leather not-high-top boots. This is my third pair, so I know they'll be comfortable, last a very long time, and be my all-around go-to footwear. The 3 rating is due to color and fit of this particular style. I give most Blundstones a high-five :)

These are great boots, but the women's sizing is actually men's. I ordered a women's 8 and they were at least 2 sizes too big. I ordered the exact same boots in a women's 8 from another retailer and they fit perfectly.

It is a nice looking boot but too narrow at the top making it too hard to get on and off. I sent them back.

Ordered a size 8, which I usually order in a boot, it was huge! It's a cute boot, order size a down. And I thought it was a bit pricey.

I ordered a half-size up and appreciate the comfort. I love the look, but have a hard time taking them.

The shaft was so narrow and then when I finally got my foot in the boot itself felt too big, even though I ordered the same size Blundstone I have now. I wanted these to work but they didn't, nice color and pattern though.

I was so excited when I finally decided to buy these. Unfortunate they were really uncomfortable and also appeared very cheap. The leather seemed fake and the soles were hard plastic. I’m pretty sure that they are the real thing. Returned right away.

I've wanted this particular pair for a long time. I tried everything I could think of but I finally had to return them. The opening is just too narrow, and I have small ankles. I absolutely could not get them off with help and I mean a lot of help. It was just as difficult to get them on but at least I could do that on my own...eventually. These aren't my only Blundstones, just the only ones with such a tiny opening.

I bought the high tops because I wanted the Shiraz color. The opening is very narrow and so they were not comfortable. They were also difficult to put on and take off. I returned them.

These are awesome boots except for one major flaw: the shaft is so narrow I could barely get my foot in and out. The footbed felt great and the Australian sizing conversion works: usually, I take a size 8-8.5 so I ordered a 5.5. I struggled to put them on and then my husband literally had to pull these boots off my feet for me, they were that tight - I couldn't pull them off myself.

After very light wear the finish has scuffed and has turned a bright pink. Contacted Blundstone and they said to use cherry renovating cream, but it is out of stock everywhere. Also they are soooo hard to take off. I was hoping after some use they would stretch but no luck. I don't even want to wear them anymore.

I wish I didn't keep these. They are not that comfortable and I need to wear a thick sock to wear to not feel rubbing. They are so hard to get off and I've worn them a fair amount of times. While I liked the color after a few wears the color has scuffed off and now looks pink. Not sure how to polish the reddish color. If you are considering go with the worn brown or gray. Overall not worth the price even on sale.

It was very difficult to squeeze my foot past the opening of this boot. Once on, it fit perfectly but getting on and off my foot was too painful and difficult so it was returned. Pity because it looked like a well made boot.

The opening to the boot was so narrow that I could not get my foot in and I have small feet. I exchanged for the 550 shorter version

Awful fit, I don’t have fat feet, way too narrow, couldn’t get my feet in in any reasonable fashion. Not acceptable.

This boot is very attractive. Unfortunately, the top is so small and the side elastic so un-elastic that I couldn't get my heel past the opening. So I have no idea if it would have fit or been comfortable.
