Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

I've had some issues with my feet swelling a bit lately so I ordered the 9W and they are perfect. These are very comfortable with just the right heel height. The black leather is more like suede. Just what I was looking for.

Everything is pretty good, although I haven't worn it out yet so I don't know how "waterproof" the boot will be. The only thing is that the boot rests under the ankle, so I don't know if I'll be keeping it or not.

I have been looking for a pair of booties for months. These are super stylish and comfortable! Dressed up or down! I could walk all day without any pain. The color is perfect. I get compliments all the time and highly recommend this brand. Love Zappos too!

Love these booties! This is my second pair and I? would buy them again. First time I? wore them, I? hiked all over Quebec City (lots of hills & steps) and my feet felt great - no rubbing or blisters. I? also wear them to work where I? stand for up to 9 hours at a time.

Felt comfortable from the moment I put them on. Wore them all day at work for two days - still great fit and comfort. Simple style that goes really well with jeans.

These are the best booties EVER! They're stylish, oh-so comfortable and have solid traction on the soles. I could not recommend these any more! I zero no problems from day one - no break in time required. Comfortable right out of the gate. I got them in the mushroom suede and the color goes with everything. I will purchase them in other colors I love them so much!

Comfy! Waterproof! Cute! A little loud but that’s personal. I’m a wife in a lot of heels and I’m glad I went with the W size. Love the mushroom color

boring. which is fine. but not inspired.

I wear 7.5-8 depending on the shoe, but the 7.5 was very snug--even without a sock. I wanted this to work badly because it is a gorgeous shoe and you are out of stock on the 8...alas, my hunt continues!

My first Blondo shoe and I'm impressed. The construction is quite nice and the suede seems to be of good quality. No cheap shoe odor. These are very comfortable and need no breaking in. The style is nice, and appropriate for work wear but its more "cowboy" boot than I would like. My favorite part is the thick cushiony sole. I have tried several boots of this type and the bottoms are so hard that the balls of my feet end up hurting - not on the Blondo. Also, the height seems to be about right - no rubbing or poking on my ankle bone. In all, a good shoe I would buy again in another color. I haven't tested the waterproof factor so I can't speak to that.

Beautifully made, quality bootie, but just not cut for my foot. Waterproof material looks amazing and good, grippy sole. However, toe box too small and arch support minimal. A bit of friction around ankles (and I have skinny ankles), too. Considered re-ordering in wide and half-size larger, but didn't think sizing up would address arch and toe issues, so back to Zappos they go. The search for the perfect winter bootie continues!

Heel was too hard and if you put your weight on an edge of the heel it would slip and slide out from under you.

This a great bootie. I ordered the black matte color and the cognac. The black was nice but I love the cognac. They are comfy and feel true to size. I'm taking off one star because while the sole is rubberized, the heel is not. I'm taking them in to a shoe repair place to have the bottoms of the heels replaced so you can't hear me coming from a mile away.

I am so excited! After ordering and returning several pair of shoes, I finally found a perfect boot. The leather is amazing! When I first took them out of the box I thought they were the wrong size as they looked very small but the fit is amazing. I wear an 11 and have had foot surgery. I live in Birkenstocks but needed to update my wardrobe for a job in fashion retail. These boots are definitely something I can comfortably wear all day. They look great with jeans and dress pants. You defiantly get what you pay for when it comes to shoes. These are well worth the money and I will order a second pair.

I tried on dozens and dozens of booties this Fall and these were the winners. They are not as comfortable as sneakers but they are the best I tried. I ordered 1/2 size up and with decent wool socks, they are pretty comfortable. The zipper makes it super easy to get them on and off and the style is great. I haven't really tested out the waterproofing but that was one factor that played heavily into my decision.

I am in love with these booties! I had an old pair of Sam Edelman Petty's that I wore into the ground. I wanted to find a replacement, specifically in a brown, but Sam Edelman was not carrying a brown I wanted (I dislike the light camel color). I though the extra $30 for this brand wouldn't be worth it but I was wrong. The booties are extremely sturdy and a gorgeous dark, butterscotch color that wears very nicely. I am able to fit my arch support inserts in them (albeit the half shoe Birkenstock inserts as the toe area is still too tight for full inserts) and they have more traction then the Petty so I am not slipping around as much. They are slightly taller than the Petty but not too tall. The leather is water proof which has proved very useful. And best of all, the zipper stays zipped! One of my biggest pet peeves with the Petty is that the zipper falls down when I walk which makes them boots looser and until I have time to adjust them, they are harder to keep on my feet. The Blondo Villa's zipper has a little notch at the top of the leather and the zipper material is not as heavy so they stay up when walking! The shoes were a little stiff when first breaking in at the top edges of the ankle area cut my skin a few times. The irritant stopped 1-3 wears in. My feet are right on the edge of regular and wide and I opted for the regular this time (the wide was sold out). They were a little snug but the leather has worn in nicely and I do not feel I made the wrong choice. I highly recommend these shoes!

I LOVE these booties! They are so soft and I wore them out in a light rain the first time I wore them and they are unaffected. I wear them to longer events where I am standing for long periods of time and they are more comfortable than any of my flats. These were a great investment.

I ordered both the dark gray and the black and kept the dark gray for the versatility and because the 8.5 fit better than the 8. They are very flattering and go well with skinny jeans. I have a narrow ankle and these aren't too big or clunky like most booties I try, but also don't dig in either. I wish I could keep both, but can't afford it! I recommend the dark gray in these and the tall Sam Edelman Penny leather boots in black and you will have the best of both worlds for colder weather!

I love this shoe! I bought the dark gray and black and wish I could keep them both, but I kept the gray because it is more versatile. I'm usually between an 8 and 8.5 and went with the 8.5 and I'm happy I did. It is a little narrow in the toe box and I like a little extra room for comfort. They are a little stiff at first, but break in nicely. They are perfect for my casual/ dressy/ comfortable lifestyle. I love that they are waterproof and they go high enough to be able to wear a low cut sock. I get compliments on them all the time! I've worn them all day and my arches need a lot of support, so they were a little achey, (but not painful) at the end of the day after a lot of walking. The footbed is not removable. I still love these and am very happy with them!

These boots are amazing. Wore them on a trip to New York. Walking through the airport, to our hotel and on through Central Park, my feet felt great! Was so impressed with their comfort I ordered two more pairs, black and gray. They look great with skinny jeans, cuffed jeans and leggings. Normally, I'm unable to wear shoes with heels due to a knee injury. The design of the shoe and heel height is perfect. Design doesn't throw your weight forward creating pain. Love these shoes!

I don't feel compelled to write reviews often, but these boots are worth reviewing. I went to a concert last night where the venue was standing room/general admission. If you wanted a good spot, you needed to line up a few hours in advance and wait for the doors to open. When I saw the forecast was going to be torrential rain all day, I immediately wanted to find waterproof boots. I didn't want traditional rain boots because they don't typically breathe well, and I knew I'd be uncomfortable standing with sweaty feet for hours. I found these by doing a quick Zappos search, and they certainly live up to their waterproof label and good reviews. After standing in the pouring rain for 3+ hours, my feet were not wet at all. The footbed could have a little more padding, but overall the boots are comfortable enough to wear all day. I love the style/look; the cognac color is a medium brown that matches everything. They fit true to size as well. I would recommend these boots 100%.

I so wanted these to work, and they would have been perfect if the toe box was wider. Otherwise, they were comfortable and definitely would have been keepers.

I wore these for an 8 hour retail shift right out of the box, and they were great! I tend to be between a 10 and 11, especially in M width. I ordered a 10W, and these fit great! The heel height is perfect - you have the fun height, but it isn't so much that your feet are aching. I've received several compliments on them already, and when people find out they are waterproof their jaws drop and they want to know where they can get a pair, too. I haven't tested the water resistance, yet, as I've been indoors while it was raining, but I'm looking forward to testing them out! This was a major selling point for me, as I usually take public transit to work and have to spend a bit of time in the elements.
