Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

Ordered 9 pairs of booties in black in a wide width from various vendors. These were the only ones that (a) I could get into; (b) accommodated my orthotics; and (c) looked good. Waterproof is an additional bonus. The other 8 pair go back. Sayonara!

I bought 1/2 size up because I have arthritis in feet and a toe that grew on top of big toe. So with this I have plenty of room in front for toes. I wear 2 pair of socks to make up for larger size. Now they are a perfect fit for me. I love the look of the boot. The heal is comfortable and arch is good. I'm so very pleased with the room for my toes!!

I bought these in a wide since several comments were made about the shoe being narrow. It feels a little long and a little wide but I am going to keep the shoe and buy and insert. will also wear thicker socks. Being a little too big is certainly more comfortable than being too small.

Very nice shoe, lovely leather. I ordered a wide hoping to avoid pinched toes and the shoe was much too wide. Also the heel height just wasn't right for me and I had to return them.

Love this brand of boot! These fit well right out of the box. I am between a 10 and 10 1/2 and these fit perfectly. Nice heel height, too. My issue was the color. It was a dull brownish/grey. It looked more brown in the picture. So, they are going back.

The shoe fit perfectly, and I was pleased with the quality and style. Unfortunately I will be returning, I purchased the taupe and they aren't brown as pictured but green. Not an ugly color, but not what I need either.

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 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.

After reading other reviews, I was surprised to find that this bootie ran large for my feet. The suede is soft and the footbed has some light padding that feels nice. I'm going to try another size before I give up on them.

I first purchased these boots in size 8 thinking I should follow the recommendations to size up but 8 was too large, the back slipped on my hill and my foot went too far forward, so I tried a 7 1/2 my usual size and it fit perfectly. I can wear it with thick socks which definitely will be needed in winter. The shoe is soft and flexible, features hard to find in many boots. I'm not ecstatic about the height of the boot because the left shoe rubs my ankle and I'll probably use some kind of soft padding on my ankle until the shoe is broken in more. The quality of leather is OK but not pretty. It's not really that slippery soft leather you find on very expensive boots. But these will do and were much better than any others I've tried on, and I've been looking for a while.

Attractive boot with nice, quiet rubber soles. At first I thought they would not be wide enough, but they worked out just fine. The shoe is comfortable. I wouldn't go walking miles and miles in them, but for work they're just what I wanted. Bonus: They're waterproof for our (hopefully) wet California winters.

I felt like the booties were cute for a very casual outfit but less casual than I was expecting. I am returning due to them running large in size.

Size 11 D very wide, long in toe as well

I really like the style and look of this boot. The top of the front of the ankle hits in a bit of an odd spot, so initially they are not as comfortable as they could be. I’ve been wearing them around the house to hopefully soften the edge and mold them to a better fit. I will keep them, but I had hoped for a better “right out of the box” experience. They are roomy enough to wear with socks. The insole has light cushioning, though there’s little to no arch support. The overall quality of the materials seems good as does the construction. I haven’t yet worn these out into the rain so I can’t speak to the waterproof aspect.

I really liked the style of this as well as the color in the black and cognac nubuck. I was excited for a cute waterproof shoe. The fit could never work for me though. It is far too wide. I have average to narrow feet, and I rarely have problems with a shoe being too wide for me. Sizing down did not help, as it was too tight from my toes to my heels while the shoe was still loose around the circumference. I was bummed.

Beautiful color, so far comfortable. I ordered the wide and it’s on the narrower side of a wide. I would not recommend these if you have a high instep, as they come up higher and don’t seem to have much flexibility in the instep area.

I am between a 7.5 and 8. These are quite small in the toe area. I initially bought 7.5 and they were way too tight. Returned for an 8.

I purchased cognac nubuck in size 8.5. I tried my normal size of 9 and it was too large. 8.5 fits me well. The shaft of the boot rubs on my skin right above my heel, and the first time I wore them, they did scrape off some skin and hurt. I do think they will soften a bit as I wear them more. They are beautiful boots and my first time wearing them I wore them during a rainstorm because I knew they were waterproof. They performed great! My feet stayed dry and the boots did not stain at all. In all, I wish the shaft didn't rub on my skin, but I am going to give these boots a chance because I love them otherwise. They are comfortable for my long walk to work, and they will be a great fall and spring boot. I like that the shaft is narrow and that there are no decorative features to the boot. I was looking for Sam Edelman ankle boots and ended up getting these instead because I did not want suede.

I ordered 8 M. I usually wear a 7.5 N, and 8 N on rare occasion, for dress shoes only, and 8 in boots and sneakers because I add in my orthodic for my low arches. However, there's no way to tighten up the area on top of the foot or toe area, and my foot was still too narrow for this roomy boot even with the addition of my orthodic and socks. Someone with a bigger or "fatter" foot would do well this this. It felt true to size or slightly roomier. I was just hoping the orthodic would help take up some space so the bootie would fit my narrow foot. These are going back.

Love these so much! They do stain kind of easy, so make sure you take care of them. Very comfy for long days and goes great with most outfits

I wore these boots to death through rain and some snow. They're a great waterproof alternative to the Sam Edelman Petty boots that are popular. I got the black leather. After 1-2 years of wearing these, the wear showed most in the heel. It's this stacked boxy material that eventually gets chips in it. At least with the black heel, the chips don't reveal a tan interior like the Sam Edelmens, so you can extend the life of these a little. The leather got dirty, a little creased, but never cracked -- the shoe takes well to leather cleaner. The waterproofness works. I beat the heck out of these shoes. I just wish the heel didn't chip. I'd probably buy these again.

Super cute and stylish, and I love that they are wATERproof. Just not as comfortable in the arch and footbed as I had hoped. My philosophy is comfort should be commensurate with price...so I wanted these to be very comfortable. Hope they are for you.

I wanted to love these but they are not as comfortable as I'd hoped. I like the look but the front digs into my shin and the sole is very hard as one other reviewer mentioned. I have kept the boots as they are waterproof (which I wanted) but they aren't as cushy as I hoped.

I am a classic size 6, but the 6 felt too big so I ordered the 5.5. Alas, that was too small. These appear very well made and color is beautiful. i also love that it's waterproof.
