Customer Reviews Blondo Villa Waterproof Bootie

These boots are very comfortable... loved them right out of the box. Also love the fact that they are waterproof...Very happy with my purchase...

At 54, with bunions, comfort is of utmost importance. My go-to almost everyday is a Dansko clog, or a pair of Dansko clog-based boots. in warmer weather, when I can go casual, I love Chacos. Still, sometimes I just want something a little dressier. And it’s SOOO hard. These are okay. I wouldn’t want to wear them if I had to be on my feet all day. But wearing them all day with times of sitting, they are fine. The width surprisingly did not cause any pain to my bunion. I would have loved a tad more support under the balls of the front of my feet, just a little more lift so I could have had the height without such an incline, if that makes sense. But still, compared to others I’ve seen, these are really great. And the fact that they’re waterproof is very nice. The Ugg rain boots are great too— just not as dressy.

I really like these boots and am hopeful they will handle the slushy, snowy, salty Maine winters and keeping some style as an attorney. I have the Evie boots from Blonde which I love. So when my low boot Merrills started to fall apart, Blondo was where I started. I found these to be roomy, but not so much a half a size bigger. Even with thick socks the size 8 boots felt comfortable and not tight. I did find the support lacking and my feet hurting after wearing them all day (walking, sitting, going to and from court). Some thin gel insoles helped tremendously. I am not a high heel regular, the weather and gaping brick and cobblestone streets in Portland are not kind to heels, but I find the heel height to not be problematic here. However, I am tending to roll my ankles more in these - hoping its just me getting used to a new shoe.

These boots are adorable. I love the color, true to the picture. Sadly, they are bigger than my normal size and for that reason they had to be returned. There was way too much room in the heel. Just walking around in the house-they felt durable and comfortable.

This is my first ever review anywhere and I'm 63, but these boots are so special I could hardly keep from jumping up and down with pleasure when I tried them on. I'm a 6-1/2 which is what I ordered. They fit perfectly right out of the box--right length, right width and the leather itself is gorgeous. It's soft enough to be really comfortable in the toes and heel. No band-aids needed. A tiny bit of rubbing around ankle when barfoot.

Cute and comfy. Look good with jeans.

They seemed a bit big. However, I couldn't consider keeping them, as there was absolutely no arch support. Very disappointing.

I reaaaaally wanted to like these. It was difficult getting these on, despite being wide-width. Once I did get them on, my toes felt cramped which prompted me to return these and look into a different brand with a true wide-width.

I love Blondo and have two other pairs of boots from them but i often have a hard time with sizing. I loved these booties but the 7.5 was too small and the 8's I was swimming in. I tend to go up half a size in the brand (8- when I am a 7-7.5) I might try again or a slightly different style. Great brand and I love that they make functional WATERPROOF footwear that is stylish too.

When I first put these shoes on, I knew they were meant for me. Perfect fit and very comfortable. Have worn them several times since buying them a few weeks ago. I wear them for both work and casual wear. It's the first time I bought this brand of shoe. I will buy from them again.

A bit narrow but given my experience with this brand I think they will open up a bit in the toe box as I wear them. Nice looking and will go to good use and wear to teach.

While I absolutely loved the style and the waterproof design of the mushroom suede, the footbed really wasn’t that comfy and I knew over time my feet would just hurt in these boots. Too bad I had to return them.

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.

I love these boots (though I wish the sole and heel were darker), but with the wide width I guess I can go down a half size. They were too big for me.

I've had these boots for 2 years now in Mushroom and I LOVE THEM. They have received many compliments. My only comment is that the mushroom color is light and dye from my jeans transferred to the very top of the boot - I'm much more careful now about folding my jeans up so they don't have contact. I just ordered a second pair of these in dark grey. Hoping they are as worthy as my first pair.

I don't know why I tried a bunch of other booties this year as I went back again to these Blondo's. They fit is good, they are comfy, and cute. I wore my lat pair all around Paris in the rain and they were perfect. Alas, I wore them to death! Always go back to my Blondo!

Love the fit, first time wearing, felt like a comfy pair that were broken in. Would definitely recommend!

This is a great boot! I love the style and fit. It's very comfortable - wore it to work all day. So cute!

Perfect

Completely disappointed in this shoe! The sizing is so off that it’s hard to believe! I initially ordered a 7.5 W. It was in fact NARROW! I took a chance and decided to order an 8.5 W, and it was *at best* a normal width! Such a shame for such an expensive shoe, and one that is waterproof at that. With the sizing this demonstrably incorrect, I won’t be ordering Blondo shoes again. They need a serious look into their sizing.

These are very attractive and I like the waterproof feature. Be aware that they run narrow even in wide. I will probably keep them because I got them for a good price.

Love these boots; just not for me. Heel is more than I like for everyday wear and upstate NY winters. Will return for Sorels...must sacrifice fashion for function.

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.

I love it. Honestly, the shoes were better than I expected. the suede fabric is attached to a sheet of a really soft material. It was really comfortable to wear.
