Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

I really like these boots and am hopeful they will handle the slushy, snowy, salty Maine winters and keeping some style as an attorney. I have the Evie boots from Blonde which I love. So when my low boot Merrills started to fall apart, Blondo was where I started. I found these to be roomy, but not so much a half a size bigger. Even with thick socks the size 8 boots felt comfortable and not tight. I did find the support lacking and my feet hurting after wearing them all day (walking, sitting, going to and from court). Some thin gel insoles helped tremendously. I am not a high heel regular, the weather and gaping brick and cobblestone streets in Portland are not kind to heels, but I find the heel height to not be problematic here. However, I am tending to roll my ankles more in these - hoping its just me getting used to a new shoe.

These boots are adorable. I love the color, true to the picture. Sadly, they are bigger than my normal size and for that reason they had to be returned. There was way too much room in the heel. Just walking around in the house-they felt durable and comfortable.

They seemed a bit big. However, I couldn't consider keeping them, as there was absolutely no arch support. Very disappointing.

A bit narrow but given my experience with this brand I think they will open up a bit in the toe box as I wear them. Nice looking and will go to good use and wear to teach.

While I absolutely loved the style and the waterproof design of the mushroom suede, the footbed really wasn’t that comfy and I knew over time my feet would just hurt in these boots. Too bad I had to return them.

These are very attractive and I like the waterproof feature. Be aware that they run narrow even in wide. I will probably keep them because I got them for a good price.

I typically run from a size 9-10, so I ordered this shoe in a 9 and 9.5. I am so glad I did! The shoe changes proportions at this exact size-- by that I mean the size 9 had a big ankle opening and felt "loose" around the foot (but length-wise too small for me), but the 9.5 was true to size, had a small ankle opening, and fit like a glove! A useful heads-up for people with big feet and therefore ankles that take up less of their foot.

Minimal arch support. True ankle boot - does not cover typical ankle sock. Color not as pictured - ordered Mushroom suede which appeared dark grey with dark heel. Actual boot is light tan with light heel. Keeping because I needed to replace a different pair/brand with broken heel and wanted waterproof booties.

These booties are fabulous but just a bit too narrow when worn with socks. I love the light grey color and hoping they restock the wide width.

True to width -- wide enough in the toes for me (a rarity for pointed toe shoes!) but too large in the heel. I don't feel like spending even more money on pads to try to modify the fit, so I'll be returning.

Very stylish and comfortable. Well made. Appreciate the waterproof feature. Color is rich. It’s a simple style but done very well. I usually order a half size larger to allow for socks - which was a good move with these boots. No arch support tho.

Bootie fit well and the suede seemed good quality but they made my large feet look even larger

Felt a little small in the toe box, so I can’t wear any socks that are too thick with these. I would order a half size bigger than your normal size, but overall the style is great and I love that these are waterproof!

The boots were comfortable and fit well but the color was not exactly as shown in the photos.

I loved the look and style of these boots, but for me there was not enough arch support at all.

Taupe nubuck is much more grey in person, but overall a cute style with just the right heel height. Felt super stiff out of the box, but quickly loosened up.

After reading the reviews, I ordered these in the wide width because I wanted to wear them with jeans and socks. I wear a size 12 M usually and these were just too wide and didn't seem to have any support.(maybe because they were too wide?) Also ordered Clarks Emslie Jada boots in medium width and they fit perfectly so I'll be keeping the Clarks and sending these back. The Clarks also had a little more pizzaz

These definitely run large. Otherwise I liked the style, I'm hoping a smaller size will fit and be comfortable!

I typically wear a 6W or 6-1/2W. Ordered these in 6-1/2W and so far find them to be quite comfortable, though I would prefer a slightly higher heel. Not crazy about Nubuck, but they are attractive and the Cognac looks very nice with my jeans. I made these concessions because it is very difficult to find comfortable shoes that fit. The fact that they are also waterproof make these a keeper as my go-to winter shoes when I can't wear my usual clogs.

I bought these in black last year and they fit perfectly and looked great. I could wear them for hours and they were comfortable. As I have WIDE feet, I often have to accept wearing less flattering styles but these were stylish as well as comfortable. But the honeymoon didn't last. The suede has rubbed off on the toes so that they are shiny at the front and the heels are worn down a lot. I accept that heels wear down with use (!) but didn't expect that they would need re-heeling after only 6 months of wear.... That said I decided to order a different colour and just protect them more but the same size as I ordered last year is now feeling like half a size smaller and tighter. I do not know if the altered the sizing/styling but these don't work and I am returning them.

These felt a little big (and my feet are normally very wide). In the end, they just weren't comfortable and supportive enough to justify the elite price tag.

cute shoes. I have a wide foot. Ordered W. felt narrow.

Great booties. Love the style and quality. Had to return because they were going to rub my small toes. Toe box a little too narrow at end and I have narrow feet.

Unfortunately these are going back. I have them in black and they are very comfortable but the brown I chose looks shiny in pictures but is really quite dull

Bought these in the Dark Taupe suede and love them. Perfect for fall. They run a little wide but they still work for me even though my foot is very narrow. They are ready-to-wear, no blisters. Wear with thin no-show socks, they hit lower on the ankle.
