Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

Gorgeous waterproof boot. I couldn't get my foot in it, but it is solid construction and built for bad weather. Would have to order a 10.5 to get it past my arch with the zipper. Blondo makes great shoes and I've tried a bunch on, not sure what size I'm really supposed to be. Bummed to send these back

The Blondo Villa Waterproof is a great concept: a simple attractive bootie that's waterproof. But these made my size 9 foot look huge. I often wear cowboy boots; these appear longer. I might have kept them - like I said, great concept - but the top of the boot pressed down on toes in spite of ample length and width. They are true to size. Heel slightly loose. Black is matte; a very dull, flat nubuck except for a shinier toe. There's fabric piping/trim I didn't see in pics which, imo, cheapens the appearance further.

I'm so so sad I couldn't make this style work for me. I've been waiting for two years for Aquatalia or Blondo to come out with a cognac, not suede ankle bootie with a low heel. These are beautiful, but the sizing was off for me. My regular size was too tight in the toe and one size up was too big in the heel. Tearing up as I return them.

These were perfect, except a bit small. I needed them for vacation - but will now have to wait until I return to order a larger size.

These boots are BEAUTIFUL, stylish, and practical! I purchased the dark grey color in my usual size 7 and couldn't be happier. I was about to settle for the Sam Edelman Petty boots, but I like the fit and darker grey color of these boots much better. It's hard to believe suede can be waterproof, but if these boots truly are, so much the better. Wouldn't have found them if not for Zappos. :)

This is the perfect everyday bootie for winter. If you live in a snowy climate but still want to look polished, these waterproof leather Blondos are the answer. I tried the suede and the leather black boots and preferred the look of the black leather. I've owned about 4 pairs of Blondos, and this is by far my favorite pair. The cowboy-boot-style heel is the key. It makes these shoes super-comfortable to walk all day in, gives a good amount of height, and is sturdy. Style-wise I think I would have preferred a slightly-higher, more narrow shaft, but the next-level comfort and functionality of these boots make them win out most days.

Nice looking boots but definitely not made for those of us with skinny narrow heels. If your feet are like mine you will be swimming in these! Had to try them though, thanks anyway Zappos.

Stylewise, the heel is a little too masculine for my taste, but considering that I got it for soggy New England weather, it's still really cute for a rainboot. I like that I can dress it up and down, and it can be paired with a variety of outfits -- pants, dresses, etc. The waterproofing is great -- honestly, if you're looking for a rainboot that you can comfortably wear all day, these are a great choice. I'm an 8.5 (9 in sneakers). My feet are narrower -- I usually default to M but occasionally wear N. I also have slim ankles. I got these in 8.5M and they fit like second skin, which is to say that it hugs every contour of my foot without feeling tight. I would never be able to wear thick socks with these, so if you have average-width feet, you will probably find the M width too tight, esp. in the toebox area. I also think if you have high arches, you will have problems putting the shoe on. In terms of comfort, they don't have the most cushion, so if you're looking for a pillowy walking experience, you might be disappointed. But for just walking to/from work, and at work, and climbing stairs, etc., I haven't had any discomfort. Overall, it's a really cute, versatile, sophisticated rainboot.

I have these in mushroom size 10, after exchanging from the too-large 11s in taupe. I like the mushroom color much better for my wardrobe, the color is light, neutral, and will pair with so many bottoms. The toe box was satisfactory for my wide-toe self. The outer material is so soft, and I'm hoping the waterproofing holds up. I don't plan to go through puddles, but it's nice to know they should hold up. Still, I think I will give them a pre-treatment spray. Stacked heel is sturdy.I'm a fan!

Super comfortable. As a young person with medical conditions and chronic pain who rarely wears anything with a heel anymore, these were so impressive! Did not cause any extra pain, really cute, and love that they're weather proof! Though I haven't fully tested it out yet though. They did fine walked a bit on snowy side walks!

They aren't as cute in person as I was hoping but a great and attractive shoe for being waterproof while still looking like a normal shoe! I found them to be a half size too big. In rare cases I'm a 7.5 not an 8, and this is one of those times.

SO glad I splurged on these for a trip to Europe. Walked around all day in them for several days and my feet didn't hurt a bit. (I didn't even have time to break them in before the trip.) I'm usually a 7 or 8 and got 7.5 and they're perfect. I don't remember ever being more satisfied with a shoe purchase.

Amazing! They're a bit tight with thick socks, but they've stretched out a bit with wear. I'm a 7.5 and they felt true to size. I'm glad I didn't size up.

Much narrower than expected. I dont typically wear wides, but I liked these boots so much that I'm going to try a wide. If you're on the edge of wide/narrow; even with narrow heel (I have wide toes, narrow heel and high arch), I would order wide first.

Beautiful shoe, an I love that it is waterproof. The body of the shoe is very comfortable, but these are going back because the side of the heel section cuts into my ankle bone. Ouch! Needs to be cut a little higher or lower to work for me.

I LOVE this boot. I bought it when I was going to a place where it was raining a lot, and my feet stayed bone dry the whole trip. And they were comfortable right out of the box. My first wear was walking the streets of San Francisco for an entire day, and my feet felt great. I wear an 8.5 or sometimes a 9, and the 8.5 fit perfectly.

I have a pair of Sam Edelman Petty's and love them but wanted a little higher heel. I take an size 8.5 in both and they fit almost the same. I have really skinny ankles. The Petty's have a smaller opening so look tighter around my ankle which I prefer. These aren't too big, but definitely bigger so I think they don't look quite as tailored. I love that they're waterproof and they are super comfortable, even when walking all day.

These boots are very pretty, but they did not set well by my right ankle. I have to return them.

Very beautiful boot but it runs too small for my foot. I kept the Vionic version.

I was apprehensive about buying a pair of shoes this expensive, but they were worth every penny. They're the unicorn of work shoes for me - professional, comfortable, and cute. I walked around the city for an entire week, including one rainy day, and not a single blister or cut. These are extremely comfortable to walk in. Very happy and impressed! I usually wear a size 8-9 depending on brand, and the 9 fit perfectly.

I absolutely love these. So comfortable. I always get compliments when I wear these

I love these booties. I was advised to buy waterproof shoes for an upcoming trip to Ireland and I wanted something stylish as well. They are incredibly comfortable and I get compliments on them all the time. Shortly after they arrived we got about 3" of very slushy snow, a perfect opportunity to test the waterproof claims. My feet were snug and warm all day, and totally dry. Another occasion, I found myself on my feet and walking all day, and, again, they did not disappoint. I look forward to having another excuse to buy Blondo booties!

A lady of the Pacific Northwest needs a variety of waterproof footwear, and I love my new Blondos! They are slightly difficult to get on, but they fit great and are very comfortable for walking. No sore spots at all after the first few days of wearing them. They're cute with jeans or dresses, and I love that I can wear them all year long.
