Customer Reviews Blondo Liam Waterproof Bootie

I just got these booties yesterday and have only tried on and walked around the house for a few minutes. However, I have a wide foot and it’s hard finding wide, comfortable and stylish shoes. Seem good so far. I’m just glad they fit!!

Ordered these booties in black and mushroom. The mushroom pair had black marks on them - tried to get them off but couldn't. So I ordered another pair. They arrived before I sent the other pair back. The same black smudges were on this pair. AND, one of the soles was detached from the shoe in the front. One shoe from each pair was OK (very small smudges), and luckily for opposite feet, so I kept those and sent the others back - I needed them that day for a trip. Had I not needed them ASAP, I would have contacted Zappos about the quality issue. But like I said, I really needed them that day. Hopefully they don't fall apart. Very comfortable, true to size, and very cute.

I was looking for a gray pair of booties and I'm glad I found these. They are a little darker than I wanted, but I'll trade that for the waterproof factor. I did order a half size up based on other reviews and I'm glad I did. They are a little loose in the heel, but my toes would have been up against the front if I had gone with my true size.

I'm a big fan of Blondo and have a collection of boots short and tall in my wardrobe. All of them are size 8 or 8.5. These booties run at least one, possibly two sizes smaller than Blondo's usual sizing. Have to say this was a win for me because I was looking for a stylish waterproof bootie for my daughters. I know my kids will be much more likely to wear these Blondos than the (unworn) rain boots I've been buying every year. These booties run so small Miss 11 sized up from big kid size 5 to ladies 6.5. Miss 14 sized up from ladies 6 to 8. They have very narrow feet so these petite booties are kind of made for teens! Worth a few back and forth trips to UPS to get it right. Thank you Zappos for handling returns and delivery so quickly - such great service!!

Perfect booties! These are very stylish and add a contemporary edge to many outfits including both dresses and pants. The light padding is okay, not fantastic so I had to put in an insert like I do for most shoes as I have sensitive feet a walk quite a lot. The mushroom color is the perfect neutral. Love them!

These just weren't comfortable to me- no arch support or cushioning really. They were fine, just not "the one" pair of booties that were going to fit the bill for me.

It was a great fit and was very comfortable however the left shoe's outside zipper was missing the felt tab. The right shoe's outer zipper had the suede tab. I am returning it and have it refunded. Thank you!

Love the look of these boots and the fact they are waterproof. The size seven fit except the toe box was too tight (too slim). I got a size 7 1/5...too large but good in the toe box. I have fitted them with shoe liners (always a nice addition for xtra comfort). The heel is still a bit loose but the length and toebox is now ok with a thin cotton sock.I have tried many a low boot so this has gotten close to the right boot for me who is basically a 7 1/4.

These are really nice looking boots, and I love the gray color. Unfortunately they felt too narrow through the front part of my foot, though, even in the wide.

Cute shoe, like the waterproofness. Not super comfortable, but if you’re not on your feet all day, they’ll work. Exchanged for a half size down

I Am still on the fence about these Blondo Liam Boots. I like the style, but the boot as almost ZERO arch support, or support of any kind in the foot bed. If I can't find a good orthotic insert to put in this boot, I will have to send them back. Also, they do run a tad small, about 1/2 size. I ordered a wide (and I don't ever wear a wide) and the wide fits fine. Plus side: They look great (stylish) and the leather is buttery soft...some boots I've tried on the leather is just too stiff...these are nice a pliable and the inside is lined in a nice flannel plaid which helps alot. Also, like the fact they are waterproof. So a few negatives, and a few positives; thus the conundrum about returning or keeping.

I'm glad I ordered a half size up as other reviews suggested! The length of the 9 fit my 8.5 foot well. I ordered a wide width, and, while they fit me with a thin sock, I'm surprised that they were still a bit tight. One of my feet is only slightly wide, not a true wide, and the other foot is "normal" width. The zippers on both sides of the boot are practical and cute. I wore them today in the pouring rain and they are truly waterproof and quite comfortable. I love the olive color and the overall look of the boot is very nice.

This waterproof boot is just what I wanted. Made well and very good looking. I have a wide foot with very high instep. I bought a half size larger per the other reviews. I ordered a Wide, and wished that it was a bit wider than it is. BUT when I wore it around the house with thin socks, it stretched a bit and I think it will work fine. Can wait to wear them this winter and on a trip to NYC!!!

Boo hoo. Had two daughters with size 11 and 12 feet. One was very disappointed.

These are darling, and I'm very sad that I'll have to return them. They're a full size narrower than marked, and a smidge short. I bought the grey suede, and they're very stylish. Adjust your order accordingly, and you'll be very happy!

I wrote a similar review for these same boots in Size 10 Grey Suede. Same opinion holds for these: I really like the idea of having a more stylish suede WATERPROOF boot as an alternative to a typical clunky rubber boot. I liked the grey suede much more than the black. Just a bit softer and more versatile. The size 11 were a bit too big for me which makes me think they run true to size since I am typically a size 10 1/2 Women's. The boots were too wide for my narrow foot and a bit stiff right out of the box...but perhaps they would soften over time with wear. Kudos to Blondo for making a waterproof suede boot!

I REALLY wanted these boots to fit. They are a somewhat stylish, low-heel alternative to typically clunky "clodhopper" rainboots. The grey suede color is wonderful, much preferable to black. I ordered these boots in both size 10 (in grey) and 11 (in black) to find which was the perfect fit. Sadly,neither one fit. It is sort of a Goldilocks scenario: the black boots are too large and the grey boots too small. Neither was "just right." My foot is narrow and these boots were just a bit wide for me, so I am guessing they are "True to Width" for most people. I typically wear a 10 1/2 Narrow...but was hoping one of these sizes would work for me. Too bad there was no 10 1/2 to try. My other minor complaint is that they are a bit stiff right out of the box. Unsure if they would soften over time. But the fact that Blondo makes a waterproof suede boot is a plus. I just wish they fit and were a bit softer straight out of the box.

I guess I am a Blondo boot junkie, because this is my 6th pair. Love the waterproof suede and leather for the rainy autumns and slushy winters here in Chicago. I've been looking for a lower-heeled bootie for fall. I love my mushroom suede Villa booties, and was excited to see the Liam finally offered in wide sizes. (Seriously, Blondo, please offer more styles in wide widths!) After reading reviews that said to size up I ordered the 9w, which were way too big on me. At the time I ordered, this size was only available in the dark gray suede. My feet were sliding out of the shoes with every step I took, so no go. While the gray color is pretty, I didn't care for light wood heel/dark suede combination. When I reordered, my regular size was available in mushroom suede and I love the color - a cool, neutral beige. The toe box is less wide than my Villas. The Liams are slightly tight, but I'm hoping they'll loosen up with more wear. There is plenty of room around the ankle (and I don't have super skinny ankles) but I like the look. Can't wait until it gets a little cooler in Chicago so I can wear these more!

This is my second year of getting these wonderful boots but they do not seem to have the same sizing as last year especially the dual zipper Liams. They are not a true wide and they run at least a 1/2 smaller then other Blondo styles. I sized up and am keeping them

I love these booties- so comfortable and stylish...but having to return because, though I ordered a wide boot, they are SO narrow. crazy! Will try to reorder a half size up to see if that helps.

I wanted to love these shoes - I need waterproof booties for a trip to Ireland and these are so cute and would have been perfect, had they fit. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5M, so ordered them in 9.5 based on other reviews. The double zipper was great for my high instep (getting in and out of the shoe) and the size was right, but they were too narrow for my foot, so back they are going. Otherwise they would have been perfect.

I love these boots! Beautiful, comfortable, and well constructed. I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered half a size bigger than my normal. Unfortunately, that still turned out to be too small. I had to order up a full size and get a different color… Sadly, those were too big. Very disappointed that I have to return them because they are great boots.

Agree with many of the reviewers that these just run too small. I tend to run between sizes, so was hoping the half size up would work. Nope. Very attractive shoe, but will have to return.

Super cute shoes and very comfortable. I purchase because of the style + waterproof design. Only problem was they ran a bit small. I will need to order a half size up in the future.

Okay, I'm still figuring out how I feel about these booties. They are super cute and practical. I mean, waterproof suede - whaaa?! But like the Villas, these are normal/almost too wide around the ankle and heel, and quite tight around the toes. I was hoping these would be wider than the Villas because the toe shape is more round than almond. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8, and the with the 7.5, I can get away with wearing thin socks or tights but definitely not thicker winter socks. I'm hoping that these can stretch a little so I can make them work.
