Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

Very attractive boots, but ran large and a bit wide. Also cut too low in the shaft, so it chafed where the boot top hit my ankle. I wanted to like these -- but am returning due to fit.

The boots hit a nerve ending on my ankle. I could not adjust this and it happened each time I took a step. I returned them. They look cute but were not functional for me.

Loved the look of them but didn't have much arch support and the heel was higher than expected.

I normally wear a 9.5, so I went with that size. I could barely get my foot past the ankle part! Once I did, they were too tight all over. Also, the heel feels very wobbly. I am trying to find a good pair to get around Europe for a month and these are definitely not the ones for me.

I wanted to like these since they had so many great reviews. However they were like great big floppy clown boots with no shape or form. I have large feet, but these just made them look like crud. Return.

LOVE the looks - but these would leave me grumpy trying to wear them. Stiff and felt that my foot was sliding down to the toes. Challenge to get on. Couldn't understand why rated so high with so little comfort. I had even ordered 2 sizes to see which one fit the best as I'm in between sizes, and I often like to wear warm wool socks in the winter.

These shoes look super old after just a couple wears--they scuff super easily and the material developed some serious creasing right away. Very unhappy with the quality

I was really disappointed in these boots. The color was much darker than the picture showed. I got the taupe nubuck color and they almost looked green. They were pretty hard to get on and once on, they were really snug. I am pretty consistently a 9.5 and these felt small.

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.

These shoes are LOUD! I was hoping to wear these to volunteer at school, but they echoed all throughout the halls. They sound like a clip-clop. My husband calls them the cowgirl boots. Otherwise, an attractive shoe!

I typically wear a 9.5. My feet are narrow (more so in the heel than the toe) and low volume. These shoes were true to size, but I would say that for a medium foot, the toe box would be far too narrow, even though the suede is soft and could potentially stretch. It was a bit too narrow for me and I'm not a big fan of breaking in a shoe. Also, there is really no cushioning on the footbed and my heel slipped a bit.

Didn’t even want to try on, the person before had already worn them outside. The soles were dirty and they were not checked and were put back in the white tissue.

Very stiff and narrow (ordered wide). Not at all comfortable. Returning

Boots are cute but felt really stiff in the heel. The toe area was too narrow for my feet. They’re really cute but due to the poor fit, these are going back.

I love these (I own 3 other colors), but they were damaged upon arrival. Maybe that’s why they are on sale! Disappointing.

They are not waterproof! I have only worn them 2 times and they are stained. I had to throw them in the trash! Not happy at all.

These were supposed to be a wide, but they were not a wide shoe. They fit like a regular width. Very disappointed.

Not for those with thin ankles. I have thin calves and ankles and narrow (but size 9) feet. This is yet another disappointing ankle boot. It is SO WIDE at the ankle it's not funny. I could nearly fit my fist in the gap! Aside from feeling clunky, I could tell that even if that issue were resolved, these would not be comfortable. Even just standing still, I could tell there wasn't enough padding in the soles. I'm usually a 9, and I ordered a 9. They felt a little big in the toe, but because the toe box narrows quite a bit, I don't think going down in size would be a good idea. These look cute in the box, but again, they are just so baggy and loose around the ankle. I'm not even petite, so I really wonder how shorter/finer-boned girls find boots they can actually wear without breaking their necks/feeling like their feet are swimming in concrete. Alas, the struggle for me continues.

Some of my favorite boots that I have owned were Blondos, so I thought I could not go wrong. I read all the reviews very carefully and was certain that these were the ones! I even ordered three different sizes to make sure I would get a pair. Unfortunately, I found them very uncomfortable. The boot was beautiful and I loved the fact that they were waterproof. I am going to say that it is just me and my feet (which I have bunions) that I have to be very careful to get just the right fit. I was able to find another boot with a lower heel, however not waterproof. My loss!

Too small. Size 13 is too big and size 12 too small. I have size 12 Blondos from years ago that fit much better. I still need boots and do not know where I will find them to fit.

Why is there no 10.5?! 11 is too big and 10 too small.

This shoe is very cute and comfortable however after one day of wearing them the heels became all torn up! The heel really is wrapped in some kind of fabric that does not hold up. I returned them for a full refund.

These wore out so quickly: the heel is not solid, but has an overlay of material that started peeling after little wear. For the money, I would have expected these to hold up much better!

I ordered these boots in a wide width after trying on a similar pair by this brand in Nordstrom where they pinch my toes and felt narrow. The wide width is very generous and the shoe felt too large. I returned them because I ordered them in black leather. The black leather is actually a suede finish, not even a nubuck — full on suede. I don’t know why they would sell a black suede boot and a black leather boot that is also suede. I’m frustrated by the misrepresentation and when communicating this to Zappos, they blame the manufacturer. Hate when people pass the buck!

These are very cute boots and are certainly waterproof. Unfortunately, they are also extremely uncomfortable if you have to walk any distance in them or stand for any length of time. Too bad for me that it took a day's worth of wearing at work to figure that out and now they can't go back. :(
