Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

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.

The shoe looks very nice and was comfortable for the first few hours. After that it started to hurt in the toe pad area. They are larger than typical.

I ordered these in wide, but they felt more like a medium width to me. Odd, since another model of Blondos I ordered in wide did feel like wide.

Nice arch support and padding. They run about 1/2 size small.

I wanted to like these booties, they fit my needs to a tee! I needed wide, waterproof booties for my upcoming trip to Ireland. Unfortunately, i just didn't love them and sent both of the colors I bought, back. The price was my first hiccup. I tried the Dark Taupe Suede color first because they were on sale for $30 cheaper than the Nubuck. I didn't like the suede. I think because I plan to wear them in summer, the suede didn't fit the season. I returned them and bit the bullet and paid near full price for the Taupe Nubuck. I think I was hoping for a more leather-look. I didn't like the Nubuck either and returned them too. They ended up looking very stiff and cheap on my feet. If these booties had a straight leather look, they would have had an ease to them and I would have loved them. Now for the fit. I wear between a 9 1/2 and a 10 wide. The booties were listed as wide, but I wouldn't say that they were noticeably wider than the medium width (which I tried on in a store). I bought the 9 1/2 wide and they were "just ok" in fit and comfort. I returned them because I did not think they would be comfortable for sight-seeing in Ireland. I ended up buying the Timberland Shootie which is only water resistant but has the look I wanted.

The shoes looked great. I was excited to try them on. When I did I had regular sox on that I would wear in the winter and my feet immediately. I tried to suffer through it and took them off because of the pain. I then tried them with a pair of knee highs thinking that would help it did then the top of my toes on my left foot started rubbing abd I took them off and sent them back. Maybe if I had gotten the wide it would have worked.

My normal size 7M in black suede fit almost a whole size too big, so I ordered 6.5M. They were plenty long but felt a little too narrow. So I ordered 6.5 W and they fit perfect. I immediately ordered another pair in Mushroom suede. They look good with shorts, skirts, dresses, skinny jeans and pants! I have high arches , high instep and bunions, not an easy foot to fit. So happy I found these! Perfect for Florida winters or traveling in Spring or Fall. So many great features. Highly recommend if you can find your size!

needed a little breaking in, but was as described

Boots were too big and wide

These boots did feel a bit larger than my usual fit for the size. A thick sock would have made them fine, I think. The reason I sent them back was that the fuzzy texture on the heels wasn't a good design/manufacture choice. It was scraped already when I got the boots and it was clear that the heels would look worn within a short time. Otherwise, I think they are a nice design for a waterproof boot.

I was looking for a pair of trendy, comfortable ankle boots with water resistance to trek through the cobblestone streets of Europe with unsure spring weather. These are very cute. Comfortable out of the box. A bit more foot room, which I likes so I can wear with a light cotton ankle sock. The heel is stable with minimal 'wiggle' room. I LOVE that as I sprained an ankle last summer which makes my heels a little more challenging, especially outdoors. They go with most of my travel outfits. YEAH! Also I do a LOT of urban walking so these will be perfect! After a few hours of wear, however, I noticed the spot where the top hits my ankle was getting soar. I was already out and about so there was not much I could do. By the time I got home and took them off I saw my ankles were raw. The top is not softened so the rough edge was rubbing on my skin, in one spot it actually ripped the skin off. Ouch!! That being said, however, I will look for something to soften the blow because I do like the boots. For the price, however, Blondo should have thought that one out. On a 'fit' note, I am a very average, 8 med. I ordered the 7.5 and the 8. The 8 was great. Other than the ankle skin issue, my foot felt very happy after hours of not just standing in them, but walking in them. I have found the two very different. That is why I will try to make them work. Also, I really like the bottoms. I was not sliding around. My foot felt well cushioned. As though I was wearing flats. I plan to wear these with my moto jeans, spring skirt, and even a cute casual dress as well as some shorts.

I love the look of these boots, but they have started to make my feet cramp up after wearing them. I ordered my usual size (8.5), but if I were to order again, I'd definitely go with a 9. I can tolerate wearing them with tights, but with socks (even thin), the cramping is just too much.

I'm pleased to find this boot. I was looking for something waterproof, comfortable, and cute enough to wear traveling. It seems to hit all the right notes. Unfortunately, they seemed too short. I've ordered the next half size up, and hopefully that will be perfect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
