Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

I'll preface this by saying, there are only so many good looking waterproof booties available in wide sizes (you're basically looking at the ONE). But. -Not as wide as hoped, but still wearable and comfortable. Leather is nice like that. -Ankle opening is narrow - they are just barely workable for me, though I do have thicker ankles. -And left shoe arrived with scuffed toe and defect in the leather. All that said, I have ordered replacements because I need a shoe like this that is waterproof! So hopefully they are as good as other reviewers say in that regard...

I love this boot but am a little confused. I ordered the 8.5M in the butterscotch color and they fit but were maybe slightly too big so I wanted to try an 8M and ordered this color and they were bigger than to 8.5M in butterscotch. Not only did they feel wider but when I compared the soles they were actually longer... It's not a problem with Zappos - as the boots were clearly labeled 8M but just be weary. Has anyone else had this problem with Blondo boots?

Too large

Very cute but very basic. Nothing objectionable about the way these look. I am always a very typical size 8. These run big. I'm not even sure the 7.5 would work. Heel felt like it should be a little higher; felt a bit disproportionate. Three stars for comfort, because they were too big for me to accurately assess. 4 stars overall because there is nothing truly objectionable. Style - 3stars because they are a bit boring.

I run between a 39 and a 40 euro size. I ordered the Taupe Nubuck in a 39 and the fit and the style were great. I really liked the Taupe color, but I didn't love the feel and look of the Nubuck. I liked the style enough to consider ordering it in leather, but I couldn't find a color in leather that I loved, so I returned the bootie.

Very well made. Nice real metal side zipper. I like that it's waterproof. I found it quite large and I am usually a straight 6.

These boots are beautiful! I wanted an all leather boot with a real stacked heel and these boots fit the bill! Comfort and arch support was also a prerequisite and this choice was almost perfect, only coming up a bit short in the arch support. They did require a little break in time but are great now, and I’m on my feet all day. The fact that they are waterproof is nothing short of amazing! Definitely buy these. You won’t regret it.

Great looking high quality boot which I wanted to love but there was not enough padding in the sole for me. Also, not much arch support for my high arches.

I really wanted to love these booties - great color, waterproof! But, the fit is odd and the ankle is really wide. I was still going to keep them but the weird thing was that the toe of these boots is almost shiny in a wingtip type style and the rest is not. I ended up returning them. Sadly.

I really wanted to like these! The materials seem to be really high quality and I love the mushroom suede color. I'm usually between a 7.5 and 8, and I first ordered them in an 8, which were too loose in the heel and ankle to the point where I could slide them off when they were zipped up. The 7.5 were perfect around the ankle, but were way too tight in the toe (they are quite tapered). Maybe a wide 7.5 is the solution?

I really really wanted to love these shoes! They’re beautiful in person, and fit great... until I took my first step. The top of the shoe caved in on my toes whenever I walked, causing incredible discomfort. Sadly, need to return them.

Comfortable enough but nothing special in terms of arch support or cushioning. But the main reason I am returning is the dull, blah color of the taupe nubuck. If the shoe had felt better on my foot (10W, my usual size, was fine for my chubby feet, I might have reordered in the cognac.

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...

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

boring. which is fine. but not inspired.

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!

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.

This is a nice looking boot, but it is not padded as much as I need so am having to return.

I typically wear a size 8.5 and order up a half size for my boots to accommodate thicker socks. I ordered these in a size 9 Taupe Nubuck and they are snug with thin no-show type socks. If you're between sizes, I suggest sizing up a half size. Otherwise comfortable and true to width. This is my first time trying this brand and I am impressed
