Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

I wanted to love these but it seems not all Blondos are created equal. I have the Liam bootie and love them. These fit much differently - they felt bigger and more narrow. I would have tried a different size, but ultimately the top of the bootie hits right where my ankle bone is and no matter what, it rubs with each step. I would have had instant blisters if I had worn them more than a few steps; my ankles were bright red after I tried them on. For context, I have high arches so that could have something to do with it. Color and style are great! Just wish they had fit better.

Sizing is incredibly frustrating. I ordered this boot in five different sizes but none of them seemed to fit right. It's a shame, because I really wanted to like it!

Shoe is very stiff, just not comfortable though the size was correct

These are true to size and cute enough. I haven't worn them in the rain yet so hopefully they are as waterproof as promised. I have two issues with them 1) Color (mushroom suede) is lighter than the pictures, including the heel, and basically looks like taupe 2) the heel is LOUD on bare floors.

I have a wide foot, 2 bunion surgeries. These were not wide enough in the forefoot.

Good looking, and very comfortable. On my first time wearing them out, in a rainstorm, the left was waterproof and the right was not waterproof at all. Water poured in at the seam. I returned them.

I need a more dressy shoe, the suede was too flat for that. Also insole was very hard. Did like that they were waterproof!

I like these boots. They are very stylish but the zippers do not stay up. After wearing for about 10 minutes the zipper is half unzipped.

After reading the reviews, I was super excited to try these. Several mentioned "walk-a-mile" comfort. Unfortunately, for me these were terribly uncomfortable and the balls of my feet ached after 2 hours of wearing. Caveat: I have flat feet and a LOT of shoes do this. There was plenty of room for my orthotics, but even with those inserted, I found these booties still very uncomfortable. Overall, they are really cute and the style is great. Just didn't work for me as I was looking for something I could wear for prolonged periods while traveling.

I love these booties and wear them all the time-they are truly waterproof. I have difficult feet (my big toe sort of curves up) making anything that is not a clog an almost impossibility, but these have been surprisingly comfortable. The only negative is the heel is plastic with a black coating on the outside. This makes them loud to walk in and after wearing them regularly during a season the coating is coming off-showing ugly white plastic underneath, so even though the leather part of the boot is still perfect the boots look a bit ragged.

For me the shaft is very low. Almost like a shoe boot. My "no show" socks almost show. Very attractive for a waterproof boot.

The color was a lot more dark than the one shown in the photo.

I have the exact same boot in black that I purchased in a size 8 two years ago. I love them and wanted a nice dark gray pair so purchased in a size 8, well they feel so much bigger almost an 8.5. I even tried on my current black pair for reference. There was just to much slipping in the boot even with a good heavier sock, so sadly I had to return. I do love Blondo and the fact they make stylish boots that are waterproof

I really wanted to love these boots, because I've had other Blondo boots for years and they fit well. I agree with other reviews that they are very roomy - I am a 7 1/2 or 8 (never smaller) and ordered a 7 1/2 based on other reviews. Even that size felt loose and too long. I also felt that top of the bootie, in the front and on the inside ankle edge, was cut too high for me and would dig into may ankle. Nice looking but just didn't work for me.

I couldn’t find the right size, so I ended up returning them. The 7.5 was too small and the 8 was too big. Too bad because they are super cute.

I love these booties, particularly the color and they fit very well. Unfortunately the wrapped heel tore on my second time wearing (only wore in an office) and now it appears they are out of stock. So disappointing for boots that were not inexpensive.

I wanted to love this boot, but the toe pinched and they ride the fine line between feeling solid/quality and just plain stiff. They probably would have softened up with wear. I usually wear a 7.5 but would have needed to size up to an 8 at least.

Ordered 8 pairs of Chelsea boots to try as my foot is just a hint over medium width, but with a wider toe area. Ordered these in black leather and mushroom in medium and wide respectively. The medium black leather ones fit pretty well, but the wide ones were definitely too wide, particularly in the heel and made my foot look huge. I'm waiting for the VIONIC Serena to show up and will likely decide between the two and send back whatever doesn't work. The Mushroom is pretty, though I would likely exchange for the darker grey option which will go with more of my wardrobe.

Cute boot and I really hoped they would fit, but they aren't good for my slim ankles and flat feet. I tried adding in a pad and my orthotic, but then the rim of the boot cut into my leg as I walked. I think this would have worked better if it were a taller boot.

The Valli I ordered is more comfortable, so I would like to exchange this pair for the Valli in the black suede in a 10 M.

I keep seeing this boot at the top of lists of "best boots for walking around Europe" and I really WANTED to love it. It comes in so many great colors and finishes. But the sole feels thin - like there's no cushioning, and I feel like the boots want to let my arches/ankles collapse inward, which is exactly the issue I'd like to prevent. So the search goes on!

I wore these for the first time today, and my feet are killing me. My normal size is a 5 1/2 wide, but in boots I can usually wear a size 6. I tried them on at home and walked around a bit. The boots felt good. However, the true test is when you wear them all day. I’ve had them off for two hours now, and my feet are still throbbing, especially the balls of my feet. I’m so disappointed because I wanted to wear these on a trip to London this spring.

These were cute and on trend, and I wore them a great deal in the spring and rainy fall. However, it has been less than a year, and they are already falling apart. Water is seeping in, which is very uncomfortable during a polar vortex.

I was very excited to get these, in W none the less, but they run large and will replace with at least 1/2 size smaller.

I typically wear a 7.5 Medium width for shoes & boots. However upon receiving this boot, the width felt very narrow on my foot, and it was even difficult to put the boot on. I returned the first pair to exchange for a 7.5 Wide width. This was a better fit overall, but I decided not to keep these boots due to finding a pair of boots that I liked better.
