Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

I got these in a size 8.5 (I have a narrower foot size 8.5 to 9 and some reviews said these run a tad large). They fit nice and snug, are simple and the mushroom color is neutral and goes with everything casual. I bought these for traveling and walking around all day and have yet to take them on my next trip, but they have been comfortable for running errands. Instead of wearing my running shoes, I'd rather wear something more fashionable and these fit the bill. They do go with skirts, pants and I would try these with shorts too but I am a little bolder when it comes to fashion. The one slight negative is that since these booties hit just above the ankle the leather slightly cuts into my shin/lupper ankle especially when sitting down. But it is tolerable. Can't wait to test their proclaimed waterproof-ness.

I ordered the Mushroom Suede in 6.5 and 7. The color is very neutral gray/beige. The 6.5 is my normal shoe size but I had trouble squeezing my foot through the opening. Once I had the 6.5 on I thought it was a bit tight in the toe box. The 7 was easier to pu on but had slightly too much wiggle room in the toe box. I kept the 7 and have worn them frequently They are comfortable if I am not on my feet all day. The shoes are indeed waterproof as advertised. No water marks from rain or small puddles. I am hard on my shoes and I am pleasantly surprised that I do not have scuff marks on them yet. The sole gives nice traction. One thing I really do not like is the heel makes a loud clacking noise when walking on hard surfaces.

These boots were perfect for the cold and rain this winter. They are warm and very well made. Especially loved that i could slosh through the puddles without worrying about my boots. I ordered a 9 which with socks were perfect! After the 12th hour on my feet did they finally start to hurt...and i attribute that to the fact that i normally do not wear a heel.

I love these shoes! They were very tight when I first got them- I almost couldn't get them on. But after each wear, they just started to fit better and better. I wound up wearing them to the airport and throughout 24+ hours of travel, including a 16 hours flight. I wear them almost every day. I've walked through snow and small puddles with no problem at all. So comfortable, so cute, and so practical. I wear them for long walks around the city all the time.

I love these boots, bought both Black and Brown. Very comfortable and stylish, i wear with tights to work or casual with jeans, I always receive compliments! It's a bonus that they are also waterproof.

I love these boots. I needed some boots for a conference that I was going to in L.A. I ordered and received these a few days before my trip. I had read that they don't need to be broken in so I tried it on and then just packed them. These were so comfortable. I walked all over L.A. with them and didn't have any problems with them at all. I loved that they are waterproof. I got the black suede and really like them a lot. I had previously gotten a BP Trolley from Nordstrom and I prefer these over those.

Loved these! Bought them for my trip to Seattle. They were comfortable, pretty, and perfectly handled the rain and slush.

I hope this message gets out there- if you are specifically looking for a waterproof bootie, these are NOT the pair for you. They are not waterproof!!!!! Could be a defective pair, but I wore mine for a cold, slushy, snowy day here in Philadelphia, and came home with wet socks. Not cool, Blondo! Not cool.

I love this boots! First purchased them in black suede and they were so comfortable I ordered them in Taupe Nubuck. They are great for walking distances and stylish at the same time. Definitely need to wear socks with them so the top of the boot doesn't rub ankle.

These are exactly what I wanted: Super cute and versatile and comfortable with waterproof feature!! Unfortunately I have sensitive ankles and shins and the top front of these kind of dig into my lower shin/ankle when I walk. I do not think they will soften quick enough for me so sorry to return.

These were really comfortable right out of the box. I'm often between a 7 1/2 and 8 and the 8 fit well, not too big at all. They're really comfortable to wear and the height of the shaft is perfect to be able to wear short socks without seeing them. I've gotten tons of complements on the color (mushroom suede) which is just the right color to be able to wear with pretty much anything. Also, I can attest to the fact that they are waterproof - my baby spit up on them the first time I put them and it wiped right off.

Love the quality of this boot; however, it's just a bit too snug even with a very thin sock. Excellent quality for the price! Will have to go back.

So delighted these booties found their way into my closet. They'll never belong in the SMOKINHOTHOTHOT corner of your closet. But they do belong in the "GO-TO so often you might as well sleep in them" corner. I think Janice Joplin would approve. It's a footwear conspiracy! Thick, rich, real suede AND water proof. Yes you read that correctly, waterproof not water resistant. Those crazy Canadians took some Technology designed for preventing moisture damage to houses and used it to protect my feet. (Vigilant Consumer that I am, Utube video: AquaProtect). THEN, they patented some OTHER technology of their own that makes you feel like you're wearing cowboy boots. If you've ever worn a Good pair of cowboy boots you know exactly what I'm talking about. Despite the fact that the heel is a mere 1 3/4", I feel like I'm struttin' a good 2 1/2." I can dance in these things: jump up and down dance. I'm thrilled they sold out of the fabulous pair I thought I wanted. Wish their other styles were as appealing, but this Blondo Villa has this brunette stompin out the door fearless of salt stains and damp feet, humming "take another Little piece of my heart out… "

I tried these on in black suede in a store and really liked them but ordered both the suede and black leather to compare them. I chose the black leather because it looked nicer and like it would hold up for longer. Both are weatherproof, which is really important in Seattle. These are very comfortable, but the black leather ones feel smaller than the black suede by about a half size. I normally wear a 7.5 and am wearing a 7.5 in the black leather, but they are a little tight on my toes on one foot. For reference, I have narrow and low-volume feet.

My favorite booties!!! So comfy! I stand on my feet all day at work and can wear these all day without my feet hurting!

Love these boots. They were comfortable from day one. Look great and are very well made.

Love these boots. Very comfortable and I'm so glad the suede look is waterproof. And, of course, I love Zappos for getting them to me so quickly. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect bootie for over a year, and I finally found my ideal pair in the Blondo Villa Bootie. I love that it has larger sizes for women with bigger feet, and the shoe is simple and classic. The leather has a perfect worn look and can be dressed casual or dressed up. I love these booties! I have them in 3 colors. Also, I would order a half-size down.

I love these shoes. I wasn't sure how to care for suede, but I just took a clean damp cloth and wiped them down at the end of the day. They are pretty comfortable. A little tight in the toe box, but I was able to wear them for my 5 hr work shift standing, with no problems. I bought these with the idea of wearing them with Skinny jeans, skirts, or maybe even a dress. They are gorgeous!

Cute and comfortable. Was able to wear 12-14 hours at a time, with no discomfort.

Stylist and comfortable, although I did need to order a full size larger than I normally wear.

This is a beautiful boot, but I ordered my usual size 6.5 and I couldn't get my foot in the boot so I reordered a 7. It fit comfortable right out of the box, but the longer I wore them the more they stretched out, now they are so big I have to wear thick socks so my foot doesn't slide around as much. I expect they will continue stretching. I wanted a pair of black, but these are so sloppy I am looking for another brand. Too bad they are well made and a very nice style for fall and winter.

I ordered 2 different but similar boots. These looked by far the best, very comfortable and water proof to boot! I am thoroughly enjoying them.

I am going to Scotland at the end of January and wanted something stylish and comfortable, that would hold up in wet weather. These are perfect. I bought them in the mushroom color and it is a great neutral. I've been wearing them most days to break them in, but it has really been unnecessary. They are so comfortable. I am very happy with them and would definitely recommend them.
