Customer Reviews Blondo Velma Waterproof Boot

They are true to size. They are slightly loose around the ankle but overall they stay up and much cheaper than the Stewart Wietzman 50/50.

Beautiful boot! I loved the style but had to return as the fit didn't work for me-- too snug at the top, and the top hits right where your knee bends which makes it especially uncomfortable. Too loose at the ankle. With no zipper, just stretch fabric, you really have to work to get this on and off. Sad to have to return-- it was very attractive for a waterproof boot.

These boots were great looking and fit pretty well but were extremely difficult to get on and off.

They were comfortable and I wanted to like them but the back was so shiny - they made the boot look cheap.

Good fit

this doesnt compare to teh stuart weitzman originals; the front suede cuts off just above the knee (I'm 5'4") so it looks like I'm swimming in the boots. I was hoping the boots would look classy in person, but the back stretchy material is a pretty stark contrast to the front suede portion.

I’ve owned the suede boots for about a year now. There were great: waterproof, fit well, etc. But a year later they have stretched a full size. Even with thick socks and insoles, they’re too big to wear without tripping myself. I wish I would have went down half a size.

I ordered these hopeful that they would be a less-expensive and waterproof alternative to Stuart Weitzman's 5050 boot. I have somewhat thin calves, and they were swimming in the shaft of these boots. Had they hugged my calves even somewhat, I would have kept that, but they were very baggy and not fitted at all to my legs. I ultimately ended ordering the SW 5050s, which fit perfectly. If you have thicker calves, these Blondo boots may work for you, and I think they are worth the price in terms of quality and construction.

This boot would have been perfect, if not for the shiny material on the back. They would look so much better with a matte elastic material or better yet, suede all the way around. I also ordered the Gallo style and the material on the back is the same as these.

My work colleague/friend has these and she loves them! The upsides that drove me to order them were that they are waterproof, and being an over the knee option that are also classy enough for wearing to work. I wanted to love these but they weren't right for me. The back stretch material looks cheap and I felt like it looked like I was wearing tights or yoga pants when you were looking at the boots from the back. If the suede went all around, I would have loved them! I have athletic/bigger calves then my friend that the stretch material was tight around, which is why I think the backing was more noticeably ugly to me than when she wears them.

I'm very tall, 6'2", and these weren't tall enough. Great construction, clean lines, wanted to keep them so badly!! Probably sticking with the brand on my replacement since these were so nice.

I liked this boots but it came with a scratch on the front. Had to return it.

I bought these boots hoping based on other reviews that they would be a good dupe for the pricier SW 50-50 boot. They looked perfect when I put them on. After about 4 hours, the ankles were baggy, slouchy and not at all the sleek look I was going for! This was on bare legs -- I cannot imagine how stretched out they would get after tucking in jeans. My ankles/calves are average -- definitely not super skinny! Luckily Zappos Customer Service was great. If you want slim fitted boots and have thin to average legs - sadly these are NOT the ones for you.

I had an old pair of these boots for four years and wanted to replace with these. I am disappointed! Not only are these longer (higher) but they make a terrible noise when you walk. The material in the back has changed and it sounds like someone crunching up a piece of paper (but very loudly!). They must have changed the material to something cheaper. How awful and sad. I hope they fix this because it’s a great waterproof boot!

Really wanted to like these boots. They looked nice on, however after putting them on I noticed that my hands were black from the leather. The coloring comes off! Had to return them as they would eventually make a mess on any pants I wore with them or light colored tights.

These boots are great looking and I really wanted to love them, but I could not even get my foot past the ankle area, they are so tight. A short zip at the ankle would be the only way to get these on.
