Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

LOVE the looks - but these would leave me grumpy trying to wear them. Stiff and felt that my foot was sliding down to the toes. Challenge to get on. Couldn't understand why rated so high with so little comfort. I had even ordered 2 sizes to see which one fit the best as I'm in between sizes, and I often like to wear warm wool socks in the winter.

First off, I did end up returning this bootie. It was cute and decently comfy, but the shaft of the bootie was just too short to look right on me (I stand at 5’7”). I guess the search for the perfect bootie continues...

I wanted to love these boots so much! I even ordered a second size after the first size (my normal 9.5) was significantly too big on one foot. Sadly, the 9's were an odd fit as well. Also, the top box was very narrow, and my toes were scrunched. I was trying to pretend that they were comfortable, but I knew I was lying to myself. Sadly, they are going back. But they ARE beautiful! For what it's worth, I tried the Blondo Varta waterproof instead... that one was a perfect choice!

Length and width feels about 1/2 size smaller than usual. Liked the boot but was rubbed uncomfortably around the top of one ankle. Ordered the Blondo Valli with slightly higher ankle length instead, and it was perfect.

Had to return because the top of the bootie rubbed uncomfortable on one ankle when I walked. Did not notice as much on other ankle so perhaps unique to me.Also I do have thick ankles. Decided to be safe and go with Blondo Valli instead--perfect! I did find that I needed to go up a 1/2 size in all models of the Blondo to get most comfortable fit, especially width.

I love these boots so far! I found them to be true to size. The leather is incredibly soft, and I like the little bit of buffed effect on the heel and toe. I got the taupe, and have to say that the color is more gray/green than I was expecting. In certain light it could be described as olive green. The heel is good quality. These boots have great traction, which combined with being waterproof sets them apart from similar boots.

Love the look and style

Bought these in mushroom color. I wear these almost everyday. The are very comfortable and go with everything. Thinking about another color!

This is the most comfortable boot/shoe I've ever purchased from the moment I tried it on! And they are very cute! Yes, they are expensive, but when you add up all the shoes I've purchased that I end up not wearing due to being uncomfortable, I could've paid for this boot! I've even gone back and ordered it again in cognac. I wear a 5.5 and have a moderately wide foot. I ordered it in medium width (they were out of wide) and I'm glad I did. It is plenty wide enough even when worn with a sock.

These are really stylish waterproof boots, and that's what appealed to me, but they were stiff and not shaped well for my feet so I returned them.

I like it. I would like to order a pair in black

These shoes look super old after just a couple wears--they scuff super easily and the material developed some serious creasing right away. Very unhappy with the quality

too narrow in the toe and I have narrow feet. I think my feet slide forward because they are narrow, making the inside big toe rub. Wanted these to fit. I have such a challenge.

These are gorgeous suede boots! I purchased them a half size larger and wide width, assuming my regular size would pinch my toes! But they were too large overall, esp. around my ankles. Returned then re-ordered still a half size up but medium width and they fit perfectly!

I ordered the taupe. Loved the color and the look, but the leather wasn’t as soft as the Valli style, and the top hit my ankle in an uncomfortable spot. Valli has an elastic gusset which is more comfortable around the ankle. Disappointed. Sent them back.

Warm, comfortable and stylish, waterproof (feet stayed dry while I walked under pouring rain in Midtown Manhattan)

Love the boots! Absolutely beautiful in every way! I was just hoping for more comfort considering the cost. A little more padding and arch support would be great!

Really fantastic boots! Really comfy, great heel height, comfy toe. Haven't worn them outside in the cold wet snow yet, but will during a Christmas trip to Chicago. These would also work well walking around NYC!

These booties are actually awesome, I have them in another color and they are really nice. I did add a self-adhesive arch to placate my flat feet. The heel is nice, it's made of something sturdy that doesn't shred like some booties I've bought and thrown out after a few wearings. The reason for four stars is that I decided to try them in Taupe Nubuck and was disappointed in the color. They were very different from what was pictured, more of a dark mud color than tan. It almost had an olive tone to it. So I am sending them back - may try a different color.

These are very nice shoes and are stylish and well made. I'm sure they are true to size and width, but now that I have bunions on both of my feet, they were a little tiny bit tight across the widest part of my foot. I've learned the hard way over many years that if the shoes aren't comfortable right out of the box, I'm not going to wear them and so it's best if I return them. I might have been able to get away with them if I'd always worn them without leggings, but I do want that flexibility, so I'm going to send them back. I bought a pair of Born ankle boots at the same time and they were perfect, so I'm going to buy another pair of that brand in a different color.

Looked great online, but I feel like it makes me look kind of weird in person. It's pretty comfortable though.

Toe box fits, but heel is too wide compared to the much narrower front of the shoe.

Loved this boot, soft around the ankle. Classic timeless look and comfortable. I ordered the taupe nuback color and returned it as was more gray in color than the brown I wanted.

I ordered over 10 pairs of black booties (guess I am fussy) and by far this was the most comfortable! I ordered in both leather and suede. Will say suede is a bit sleeker looking but ultimately decided on the the more every day look of the leather. I really love these and think they will my go to everyday footwear!

I was really disappointed in these boots. The color was much darker than the picture showed. I got the taupe nubuck color and they almost looked green. They were pretty hard to get on and once on, they were really snug. I am pretty consistently a 9.5 and these felt small.
