Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

This is my second pair of Blondo booties. I’ll start by saying that they are beautiful and comfortable. However they insist on wrapping the heel in some sort of fabric. This fabric tears so easy. I wore these for 24 hours and true to Blondo form the heel was tearing. And this was normal walking conditions I did nothing strenuous. I was actually careful with them after owning the first pair. For their price point, the boots should last more than 24 hours. Both pairs I own from them have the torn heels. I don’t recommend buying from this brand until they stop wrapping the heels in fabric. Don’t let them trick you by how cute they look, their heels will not last.

I walk a lot during my daily commute and wanted something I could wear in winter without having to change my shoes after I get to the office. These were perfect. I liked them so much I got a second pair in another color.

These are super cute and comfy. I have two pairs now (the mushroom color and black) and I wear them often. I always get compliments on them - they look great with jeans and dresses/skirts. I am terrible with walking in any kind of heel and would avoid it altogether but I'm 5'2" and a heel really makes a big improvement to how I look. I wear them once every couple of weeks and usually walk about a mile in them so not a long way, but long enough that if weren't pretty comfortable I wouldn't continue wearing them. I wouldn't wear them if I were going to be walking over 2 or 3 miles. So far they've held up well. My only complaint is that the zipper seems to slide down, not all the way, but enough that I notice it and have to pull it back up. This happens far more frequently with the mushroom pair than the black so it may be a one-off.

I wanted to love this boot, but the toe pinched and they ride the fine line between feeling solid/quality and just plain stiff. They probably would have softened up with wear. I usually wear a 7.5 but would have needed to size up to an 8 at least.

Ordered 8 pairs of Chelsea boots to try as my foot is just a hint over medium width, but with a wider toe area. Ordered these in black leather and mushroom in medium and wide respectively. The medium black leather ones fit pretty well, but the wide ones were definitely too wide, particularly in the heel and made my foot look huge. I'm waiting for the VIONIC Serena to show up and will likely decide between the two and send back whatever doesn't work. The Mushroom is pretty, though I would likely exchange for the darker grey option which will go with more of my wardrobe.

Ordered 8 pairs of Chelsea boots to try as my foot is just a hint over medium width, but with a wider toe box. Ordered these in black leather and medium width. They fit pretty well, though my foot stretches them out a bit. I have thick ankles and they fit just fine around them. Even though they are listed as black leather they look like suede with a super scuffed up toe which is odd. Waiting for the VIONIC Serena to show up and will likely decide between the two and send back whatever doesn't work. I will definitely be exchanging for the black suede.

I normally wear 8 1/2 I had to order the 9. Good looking shoe, very comfy. I have them in black also.

Cute bootie but way too narrow. Had to return.

Felt very comfortable and great height! I tend to wear a 7.5 or an 8, so I ordered an 8 thinking with socks that would be fine. Unfortunately I tend to wear pretty thin socks and so it was just a little bit too big. If I put on thicker (like athletic) socks then they fit very well, but then the sock would show because of the short shaft height. Ordering a 7.5 should hopefully fix this! looking forward to the new size!

These are wonderful boots for wide feet! The wide width is truly wide, which isn't always the case with some shoe brands. I bought a pair in the Mushroom taupe color in 9.5 W last year and they were great. They are waterproof and stand up to Minnesota winters very well. I liked the taupe pair so well, I just got the charcoal gray color and they are great, too. I have been wearing the taupe pair once or twice a week for both last winter and this winter, and they're still looking great, so they are made to last. I would highly recommend these.

I am almost always size 8, but the 8 was way too roomy and I had to get a 7.5 in this shoe. I thought the 7.5 might be a little tight in the toes, but after wearing for 10 minutes it feels perfect. I was a little uncertain about ordering the olive suede as it looks dark beige/khaki in the photos but was afraid it might be too green in person. To me, the color in the photos is close. It is more taupe/khaki than what I think of as 'olive', slightly lighter and grayer than the photos, but with a subtle green undertone. I'm happy with the color as it's neutral and am glad to have shoes I can wear to work in New England winters. Time will tell how durable it is.

Just got these so this is only a review about size! Fit true to size. I am usually a 7.5 or 8 and the 7.5 was perfect. I did have to return for wide vs regular. They run narrow. If you are on the fence and don't usually order W, just do it and save yourself the return! are a little higher than I am accustomed do so i felt a little wobbly but not bad.

I actually love these boots - the only problem is that they dont hold up....i bought them mid February last year and they were falling apart by November (and i only wear them one or two days a week in the fall/winter - so its not from over use) but they are comfortable and look good...i just think for $150, they should last at least a year, but probably longer.

I would highly recommend these boots. The design and leather is good looking. Regretfully my lower calf is larger than average and I was concerned the boot would not be comfortable. Blondo is a great boot brand. You will love your purchase. I do have a pair of Blondos that the style is more comfortable on me.

Great shoes! Comfy and stylish.

I LOVE THESE BOOTS. Order a half size down from your usual shoe size. Typically I wear a size 9, which is the size I originally ordered in dark gray suede. The 9's were a little large, so I ordered an 8-1/2, which were better. I don't wear socks (unless it is sub-zero) and these fit fine with a thin sock. Love the look of these boots, the shape of the toe is perfect without being too pointy, the boots are nice and sleek and look great with leggings, jeans, etc. The heel height is comfortable. There are no negatives to report on this boot! I had bunion surgery a number of years ago and struggle to get my foot into boots at times, but I find using a long shoe/boot horn helps alot (I sound like an old lady, how many people even know what a shoe horn is :) I want to mention that I had also tried a wide width in the 8-1/2 but it was too wide not only in the foot area, but the whole opening of the boot was cut wider, so unless you have a really wide foot and hefty ankles, I'd steer clear of the wider width. I was also in the market for a brown boot, so I ordered the boot in the taupe nubuck as well. It is a brown color with a greenish cast to it. Not a bad color, not quite what I expected, but it's a nice neutral without being too reddish like I think the cognac may be. The mushroom color is nice and neutral, but I didn't care for the way it looked on my foot...the color was just too light for me, sort of a beigy-pinkish color. I must also thank Zappos for great service! I ordered boots at 5pm one day, and they were delivered the next day by noon! WOW! And it's so nice to be able to log in on the website and see your history of purchases and returns! THANK YOU ZAPPOS!!!

LOVE these boots! Perfect to wear with a pair of thin socks when it’s cold/wet outside. Very comfortable to walk and walk and walk in.

These were very similar to the Valli style, but with a slightly lower height (and therefor for me more uncomfortable). They looked great with jeans, and I liked them a lot, but the Valli win out.

These wore out so quickly: the heel is not solid, but has an overlay of material that started peeling after little wear. For the money, I would have expected these to hold up much better!

I was very disappointed in the pair I received. The heels were scratched and areas of suede was worn looking, as if they had already been worn. I have reordered and hopefully the next pair will be satisfactory.

I usually wear a size 9 or 9.5. I ordered a 9 in these, and it was too big. Then I ordered a 8.5 and it was too small. The difference between the two seemed like way more than half a size (see pic). I loved the look of the shoes but unfortunately can’t keep either due to sizing.

Love the style- but quite loose around the Ankles for anyone with narrow feet, I have to add an insert so I don’t slip around.

Love the look - like sueded, but it is dark black leather. Arch support may not be good, but I can't tell because it runs narrower and shorter than the usual size. I'm exchanging due to that. Hope the next size up works.

I wanted a waterproof bootie and love the comfort and style of these boots. They are a perfect all around color, don't seem to get dirty easily and look stylish. My only complaint is that the sole/heel is loud when walking. Meaning there is a clacking sound every time I walk -- certainly not going to sneak up on anyone with these boots on. My teen son always says I'm loud when wearing these boots. If the manufacturer made a quieter sole, these boots would be five star for sure.

These are the best send list amawing fit. I normally wear size 6 in boots so I had to go down a half size. I would have kept theee but the taupe was very dark brown so I’m returning these for a lighter shade. I already have then in black suede so this is my 2nd pair.
