Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

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.

Liked these booties but as in the Victoria style that I also tried these too came with spots that looked like glue had either been cleaned off or the weatherproofing hadn't been applied properly. A big concern given the price so I returned them.

Wide width was excellent for wide toe box and narrow arch and heel feet. There is no arch support and no cushioning at all though. Developed plantar fasciitis from these and now unable to wear because they don’t have removable insoles for custom orthotic insoles. They were true to size but recommend going a half or full size up to use with insoles.

I was excited to receive these as a gift for an upcoming trip to Italy. The 7.5 (my normal size) was too tight and difficult to put on and the 8 was too loose around the ankle. I could feel every ridge in the stitching whenever I walked as they sort of flopped around. They seem to have a great track record, so I might try another pair or style.

I wear a 10W, but can sometimes fit into a regular 10 or a 10.5. I ordered these in a 10W and they were tight, enough that when I tried to flex my toes they cramped. I was willing to see if they'd stretch with time, but the ankle opening is small and the back of the shoe hits my ankle when walking. It either needs to be cut lower or higher. The color - Sand Suede- is beautiful and I wish a similar shoe, the Valli, was available in that color.

I wanted to love these and take these to Europe. I could barely get my feet into the 7.5, and the 8 was swimming around the ankle and toes and I could feel the edges with every movement. I have bunions and they could have worked but for the sizing.
