I love these boots! I just moved to Chicago in November and know I needed a high quality, waterproof, and durable bootie. I have had these for three months and I wear them A LOT. They continue to look like new and my feet nice and dry. The price is a bit steep, but they are an investment that has been worth every penny for me.

Ordered both 7 (usually wear this size) and 7.5 because of on-line review (thank you). I did find that going up a 1/2 provided a better fit. Boot looks great and is comfortable!

I ordered the Blondo Elvina two months ago and have loved them ever since! I ordered both my regular size and one full size larger (because the half size was not an option) and kept my regular size. I've worn them for 8 plus hours at a time and haven't had any issues with discomfort. The boots have worn well with moderate wear. I haven't really tested the waterproof part, but Blondo has an excellent reputation, so guessing it won't be different with this boot. I'd definitely order again.

LOVE these booties!! I am a consistent 9.5 and they fit perfectly. They are a bit snug at the toe, but not at all uncomfortable. I do have narrow feet, but really found them TTS. I wore these for a 9 hour work day in an office and they haven’t bothered me at all. Best of all, took them out of the box and into snowy weather the same day! I may order a back up pair. Cherry on top: so stylish!

The fit and size were superb. I am a 9 narrow usually, but this 9 medium, fit me very well. I was impressed with how good the boot felt initially. I am extremely happy with them. I really love the quality.

Awesome Boot! I love the shape of the toe and the overall look of the bootie. These are a bit narrow and we’re squeezing my toes. Other than that they are cute. I’m hoping they will stretch a bit.

Great boot, very comfortable. I have wide feet and was worried about the pointy toe, but my normal size (10 M) fits great. I haven't really put them through the winter wringer yet but I think they'll be great.

These shoes are a great find and believe me, I looked at what felt like hundreds of black boots before I finally settled on these! Although sizing was a bit of trial and error (I ended up going a full size up from my usual) I'm very happy with the final purchase. Waterproof, sturdy and with a small stacked heel, these are perfect for everyday or dressing up with tights or leggings. I'll be wearing these all year long and hopefully for many seasons to come.

I normally wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 and ordered a size 9 after reading other reviews. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. They arrived just before a trip to NYC and they were the only footwear I took. It rained my first day there and my feet stayed dry and comfortable. I walked a lot and stood in museums all day. One of my best purchases. I love these boots and get lots of compliments on how fashionable I look in them.

I toke the advise of other buyers to order half size larger which fits perfectly. Stylish with soft upper leather. Perfect for day and night. I worn it to a concert on the second day and stood for 5 hours, it was fine during the standing. It hurts little bit at the toes when I was walking around in the city after the 5 hours standing, but it was not something I would do everyday. So overall I am happy about the purchase.

The boots had more of a pointed toe than I realized. I can wear most size 10 boots right out of the box. These were too tight. I do have a bunion on one foot - but it isn't a problem with most almond toe boots. The heel is a great height and it feels very sturdy while walking. Would have ordered a 10 1/2 but it's not offered so they need to go back

I have a narrow foot and ususally wear an 8 or an 8.5, but ended up sizing up to a 9 in these boots. The toe box felt cramped in my usual size, so I went with the 9 even though it's a bit longer than I need. These boots are comfortable and stylish - the heel is the perfect height.

I've been on the hunt for a black bootie that can be dressed up or down forever and this one is pretty close to perfect. I wasn't sure about the pointy toes at first but they add an edge and make them unique.
They were comfortable right out of the box and the leather is extremely soft. They don't have that typical shiny waterproof leather look and I can't believe they are they look that good.
The lining is comfortable and soft. I have flat feet and added in some insoles and they fit perfectly. They definitely run a 1/2 size smaller so if you have a wider foot I would suggest sizing up a full size. I have narrow feet and wear a 9 in everything and considered going up to the 10 from a 9.5. Once I put my insoles in they actually fit better.
My only wish is that the shaft was a bit taller but I think these will be a keeper. Definitely give them a try if you're on the fence - they are worth it!

Sleek, realistic bootie that looks cute too! Right out of the box I walked in the NYC slush and wet streets over a mile to work, and they felt great and kept my toes dry.

I love how cute these are. I wear 8.5s. Those were too small. I tried the 9s and they just weren't comfortable at all. One part dug into my thin ankles. I think they are a half size too small and too narrow. I have thin ankles and they just didn't seem comfortable.

In initial try on felt comfortable and very stylish. Think they will meet their purpose for a fall EU trip.

This is a nice boot and fits well. I normally wear 6.5, sometimes 6 and the 6.5 was good. The boot was comfortable right away. I ended up returning though because in person it looks more like a combat boot to me, which I guess isn’t really my style. But I definitely debated on it because these are nice boots. If you’re considering them try it out!

I sized up after reading all of the reviews advising this, but they were still pretty tight out of the box. I think you may need to size up a full size to get these right. The boot is beautiful, so this is just a shame.

Good looking boot but I will return. Toes were too pointy for me to be comfortable all day.

Very cute boots for rain!! I read the other reviews and decided to go a half size up. I am a solid 6 so I bought a 6.5, but it was still too small. You should go a FULL size up!! Seriously. Even with thin socks it was too tight and I don’t have wide feet. Also, there isn’t a ton of arch support in the shoe like I thought it would have. So if that is an issue for you I would try something else. Overall great looking shoe.

I love that these are water resistant. That is the biggest selling point for me. I want to wear shoes in the rain that aren't made of rubber. That being said, I was a little disappointed in the comfort level. They aren't as cushioned as I expected. They also fit smaller. I had to size up and now they appear too long and unflattering. Even at a larger size, wearing with an added cushioned insole makes them fit tightly. And wearing thick wooly socks AND an insole? Ain't happenin. I decided to keep them, because faults and all, they are the most sophisticated rainproof boots in my closet and I need some. However, I haven't been using them in all weather, even sun, the way I'd hoped to.

Well constructed shoe! It has a polished style, yet a worn in quality. I like the cozy lining. They are super comfortable except that the leather around the leg is a bit rough directly on skin.
