Love the style and color. Don't know about the fit yet. Oops...received a 9W and a 9.5W in the box. Strange though...the 9W was much roomier than the 9.5W. Seems as though someone wore the heck out of the 9W before they returned it.
I did return these, but hoping for a new order of the right size and NOT worn!!

Even though I ordered them in wide they still felt tight. Also the leather looked and felt more like suede . I will try another brand.

Comfortable right out of the box; true to size. I’m consistently a 9.5. These felt great. Day 1, I wore them to work - 12 hours of walking through NYC in the rain. Shoes felt good. Nice support, very cute. Definitely waterproof .

I sooooo wanted these adoreable WATERPROOF booties to work for me - but alas, although the width was perfect for the widest part of my foot it was too wide for my heel and my foot slipped all over. I tried both the 6 and 6.5 wide, the 6 was a better fit which is consistent with my "true" measured size (though I usually end up getting a 6.5 or 7 to get the proper width for my wide feet. For someone with a wider heel these would be wonderful. They have the support of a good fitting cowboy boot and could easily be dressed up or down. I liked these much better than the Valli, which strangely was much narrower even when I purchased the same size.

These boots were comfortable and well made but they are so plain looking in black. They look like rain boots. I'm sending them back.

Beautiful boot, but it really digs into my ankles. As per other reviews, I order up a 1/2 size, and the length was fine. But they really hurt, and I'm sorry I have to return them.

I really like the look of the boot, but normal size was too small. Will try 1/2 size larger

I have tried on four different pairs of these boots--three at my local shoe store (both a 9 and 8.5) and one ordered here at Zappos (8.5, which is the correct size in length/width). Sizing is fine, but ALL of the LEFT boots are tighter in the ankle than the right and hit me in the crease where my foot and lower leg meet, which I know will make me miserable as I try to walk in them more. The fact that they're waterproof is great, but I'd never make it more than a block without cutting the top of my foot.

I have been trying to find comfortable ankle boots for several years. I have a lot of arthritis in my feet and very flat arches, so most shoes hurt. These are awesome! I am so happy I kept trying. They're nicely made and look good too, I will likely order another color.

I absolutely love these boots! They are comfortable stylish and great in the winter elements. I’m back in the app right now just to buy another pair in another color

Ordered in my normal size and also 1/2 size larger in Dark Taupe Suede. Ordered Wide width hoping for more comfortable fit (a lot of my shoes are regular width): Boot is gorgeous, but couldn't even get my foot inside because it was too narrow. Either I got two oddly made pairs, or else these are made for Cinderella and I'm just a step-sister. So back they went :-(

This 60 something stylish woman with throbbing feet that need a wide shoe is a happy girl!!! I love these boots!!!! The look is sassy and I feel like a bad*ss warring them with leggings or jeans. They are comfortable right out of the box and next month they’ll be tromping around Europe with me! Warm and waterproof and great for my feet! Winner!

Very attractive boots, but ran large and a bit wide. Also cut too low in the shaft, so it chafed where the boot top hit my ankle. I wanted to like these -- but am returning due to fit.

These are really cute boots. I bought the Mushroom color, which is an attractive taupe. I ordered my usual size of 9.5M. They looked so tiny and narrow I was afraid they wouldn't fit. But when I slipped them on, I was surprised to find that they did feel good and fit my foot well. I was pretty happy, and wore them to work today. Sadly, by lunchtime, the ball of my foot and my toes were starting to ache. This is really disappointing. I think it's because there is very little padding. I tried to put in one of my Ariat liners, but it made the boot too tight. So now I'm stuck with $150 boots that really don't feel good. I'm going to try buying a gel liner that is thinner than my Ariat liner and see if that helps. For this price point, I think that Blondo should add a better insert or more padding. I just hope I can get them to work so I haven't just wasted a big chunk of cash! I probably should have just shelled out big bucks for another pair of La Canadiennes (which are the bomb, btw, total comfort and waterproof, too!) or Franco Sartos, which are cheaper but feel a hell of a lot better.
I'd also recommend:
Ariat, La Canadienne, Franco Sarto

Oh, how I wanted to love these boots! I ordered my usual 8W size and found that I couldn't comfortably get my feet into them. I'd try a larger size if I thought the width would work but it doesn't appear likely. The suede is soft, the color is a handsome chocolate brown, and the heel height is perfect -- tall enough that the boots are "dressy" but not so tall as to make the height precarious or uncomfortable. I'm very sad to pack these back up for return.
I'd also recommend:
Munro, Clarks, Softwalk

I usually wear a 7 1/2 M but found that size 8 M was the best fit as has been true of other brands of boots that I've bought. I love that they are waterproof, low-heeled, and stylish! I've worn a black pair numerous times and found them comfortable for walking (to destinations several blocks from home), warm enough for cool to cold temperatures but not too warm for sitting at inside events such as symphony or theatre. I just purchased a second pair in Cognac Nubuck and am looking forward to enjoying them just as much.

Very cute booties. I usually wear a 7.5. These run a little small in the toe box. I am returning. I am considering ordering the 8.

Beautiful boots, but the pointy toe did not give a wide width at all.

Have yet to try the waterproof capability of this boot, but I must say it’s super comfy and cute! I normally am a size 8, sometimes 7.5. Got both in a wide, and the 7.5 is plenty big. Great buy!

I wear a 8.5 and the 9 fit perfectly, I will be able to wear a slightly thicker sock in the winter.
I tried both the M and W widths. The Medium was plenty wide for my average feet.
LOVE THESE BOOTS! My second pair. Waterproof. Super comfortable! Chic!

I wanted to love these- they’re well made and seemed comfortable. But they made my foot look awkwardly huge and long (I’m a size 7!), so back they go.
