Customer Reviews Blondo Liam Waterproof Bootie

The boots look nice and feel comfortable. The length feels a half size smaller, and the wide width is also a little tighter than I expected. The leather is very soft, so I decided to keep the shoes despite being slightly tight. I ordered half size up based on the reviews.

I am usually a solid 8, 8.5 or 9 if I get sneakers. I do have flat feet (when I step down, the widest part of my foot is 4") so sometimes I'll get a wide width if the brand makes a narrower shoe. Based on reviews, I got an 8.5W and boy am I glad I did! The W width is barely roomy, so if your foot swells up a lot, you might want to size up or get a wide width. My toes have enough room with the 8.5 and may have been ok with the 8, but then I'm not sure if the width would have worked if I'd gotten my normal size. Style-wise, the color is great and the double zippers are very cute (and functional!) but the front flap comes up so high that these seem to be good for leggings/jeans only. I tried them with shorts, a dress, and a skirt, and all make my legs look stumpy because the front part comes up too high above the ankle, hiding the tapered part of my leg.

The left book felt great. The right was so tight I could barely walk. I don't have differently sized feet and I have Blondo's in other books so there was something very wrong. Very disappointed as they are really cute.

The right shoe was smaller than the left. If they’d both fit I would have kept. Very cute bootie. Disappointed in the support. I’ll try Rockport next time.

I normally wear a 9 and bought these in a 91/2 based on other reviews. They fit well except for a bit of slippage in the heel which a thin pair of socks remedied.They are very cute!!

Based on a few other reviewers that said this shoe was very narrow, I tried this shoe in 11M, 11W and 12M. The 11W didn't really feel wider than the 11M but it was definitely shorter. I have pretty normal width feet and the 11M would have been fine - it was narrow in odd parts of the shoe which made the fit not feel quite right. I think an 11.5M would have been my ideal fit. I returned these because I couldn't find the perfect fit and preferred the feel of the Blondo Loxx more.

I love these boots so much that I ordered them in 3 colors! They are stylish and waterproof. I felt that they ran a little wide, which is great for me. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate my orthotics.

I finally found my Bootie (albeit halfway through winter!) I listened to other reviewers and ordered a wide and it fit perfectly. Therefore, the shoe runs narrow. I did, however, order my usual size 11. Nice, low walk-all-day heel, dual zippers to facilitate putting them on with ease, and nice neutral color makes these a winner, so far. Jury is still out if they are long lasting. I get the feeling they may not be a "last forever" sort of shoe. But for now, I am pleased.

These fit true-to-size in my usual 9 (I rarely wear another size). They're comfortable and they look fine, but are a bit boring. The Dark Taupe Suede was lighter than pictured, and kind of a blah color. The front of the shoe is just pretty plain. I don't love them so am returning.

Oh I wanted to keep this boot. It looked good, I loved the 2 zippers (though not sure how those zippers will be keeping out the rain) and it fit perfectly. The problem for me was how hard they are on the soles. The insole has very little cushion, the footbed is a bit thin, and the stacked heel is hard on the ground. I don't think I could walk very long in these without aching feet. I tried to put a few different comfort insoles in, but they made the shoe uncomfortable. I think the moral of the story, for me, is to stick to shoes and boots with rubber soles -- they add so much comfort that I don't know if I will ever be able to go back to stacked heels.

I actually returned this boot - however, my ankles are narrow and this boot is a bit wider than what i was looking for. That said - I've been looking for a boot like this and if the ankle area had been a bit smaller - I would have kept this in a heart beat! They are great looking boots - can be dressed up with dresses or work equally as well with jeans! Super versatile and with the water proofing - will keep me warm and dry in messy DC weather!

Super cute, love the style, but fit was a full size too small. For reference, I ordered Blondo Villa at the same time, which fit one-half size too small.

After reading the reviews, I went for a half size bigger than I am. Glad I did as they are a perfect fit. Really fun shoe and look great. I have only worn them for a day but so far so good. Must say, I thought they were a bit hard?? If that makes sense. Did not feel super comfy but look great and were not uncomfortable. Just not sure if they were worth the amount I paid. We will see...

These are great boots. Comfortable to wear immediately and for a long length of time. I love the zippers on both sides. Makes them easy to get on and off and I am able to wear socks even though I have wide feet. I took one star off because one zipper always gets stuck.

I am still trying to find my best size In these boots as I really like them. They are not screaming comfort but they are comfortable and I really like the overall look of these; color, suede quality, toe appearance, shaft height and waterproof, yeah! Initially I ordered the Olive Suede in 8 1/2 regular. Nice color. Overall, I will say that I found them to run smaller and more narrow. I am consistently a size 8 1/2 and although I will say I have a 'wider' foot, I have never needed to order a wide shoe. After reading a review, I decided to try my normal size 8 1/2 in wide. I also switched the color to the grey as I thought that would be better for my needs. So the 8 1/2 wide did feel better but I think they may still be a bit small. So I'm thinking my last option is to exchange this grey for a size 9. If those don't work, this shoe is not for my foot :(

I have a medium to wide foot and usually wear an 8.5. I wish I had ordered an 8.5 regular, an 8.5 wide, and a 9 regular and tested them all out. The boot is waterproof (amazing!) and really cute in person but there is absolutely no give and the 8.5 regular is just too small for my feet.

I ordered several booties from Zappos and returned all of them because either the heel was too high or the style wasn't what I liked. I have hallux limitiis in my big toe on right foot and should only wear footwear that is rigid or with a rocker bottom. For fall/winter in Wisconsin, I can never find stylish shoes/boots that work for my foot issue. If heels are too high it hurts just putting a shoe/boot on. These booties were really comfy and stylish with a low heel. They are not rigid though. I won't wear them except for when I'm going somewhere I know I won't be walking around much. But I love them.

Though the length is good (I got a size 8 because a 7.5 I tried on in a store was too short), the shoes (medium width) are wide. These are fine if I wear thicker socks with them, but if I can't wear them with basic tights, which I was hoping to do, because my feet slide around a bit. I am keeping these because they are a nice basic bootie.

Super-cute bootie with great style! The toe box is a bit narrow and sadly, I had to return them.

I love these, but reordering in a W as the 8 M scrunch my toes a lot. I do wish the shaft was a bit higher in the back, so my leggings stay down over it better. It seems 'the trend' to make booties w a really low top now, for some reason, and I've returned other brands in the past for that.

Attractive boot but a half size too small. I kept a different Blondo boot that was the same size but fit properly. A higher heel would have been nice.

I have a narrow heel but need a wider toebox. I usually order a medium width but the other reviewers were right, you usual length and wide width might help the fit. My heel doesn’t slip, fits well. I loved the fact that there were zippers on both sides! I bought the grey boots, but the color is blue-grey, would look great with jeans, but not not my grey and black outfits, so returning them. Very comfortable. I love my other, Villa, Blondos, rain or shine!

Seemed a bit stiff. This boot was marked wide, but it was too narrow to get on my foot. I do regularly need a wide, but order the boots in wide to accommodate socks.

Awesome shoes! Got this in the grey suede and they look great, goes well with everything. Super comfortable right out of the box, didn’t require any breaking in at all. Size and width were true to size (6.5W). HOWEVER, only after 2 weeks of wearing these boots everyday, the left shoe soul started coming off. For this price I would expect much better quality. This is a major flaw in the shoe. Love the look and feel, disappointed in quality of the soul. They’re also slippery on icy surfaces. Definitely not snow shoes, there’s no grip and the bottom is fairly smooth even though it’s rubbery.

What did I wear before I purchased these? Love the olive color - I should buy a second pair for when I wear these out. The interior support and feel is not as great as I hoped for but I wear thick socks and they feel better. Love the look.
