Love these, but need a half size larger. Hoping when I go in to return they are available. Blondo's are the best for cold rainy days!

I am on my second pair of the black suede booties, and have half worn out my mushroom suede pair. I have bunions and these work great ordering 1/2 size up (7 instead of my usual 6.5). I wear them almost daily in the winter, and have extensively travelled around the world, including cobblestone streets of Europe, wearing these boots. They work in a casual and also office/meeting setting and are supremely comfortable. I just ordered the Taupe Nubuck looking for an alternative to suede. However the color is not at all how it looks in the photos. I would call this a dark olive and not taupe. Unfortunately Zappos does not offer the Cognac color which looks gorgeous.

super cute, but the 7W were so small and narrow. I'm usually a 7 and am in-between a medium and wide, but I figured I'd try the wide since I plan on wearing thicker socks with these. I had to double check that I was shipped the wide (I was) because they were super narrow still. I am ordering a 7.5W to see if that helps.

I really like the style of these waterproof boots, and I think they will be very comfortable for lots of walking. I had to order W instead of M in width for comfort around my bunion, and then had to order 1/2 size up (from 9 to 9.5) for comfort around my toes too

For being a wide boot, this was very narrow.

This boot is so cute, I wanted to keep it. But it was too wide in the heel. I ordered a W because my toes need the room, but the heel was too wide so it slipped. So, back they go.

I really like these booties. I ordered the Mushroom Suede and the color is great. I normally wear 8 - 8.5 (with 8.5 usually being slightly large) and have a somewhat narrow foot. Based on the reviews, I ordered the 8.5 regular width. The left foot fits perfectly and the length seems correct for both feet but the right boot's toe box is a little too tight. So I tried the wide width and it is too loose everywhere except the right toe box. It seems the cut is not right for me. What a bummer.

These booties are wonderful! I can teach on my feet all day and not get tired. I love that they are truly waterproof, and they are a great height. The one complaint I had is that they were a bit too narrow for me. The size was perfect, but I ultimately returned them and exchanged for the Wide width rather than M, though I normally do not have to wear W.

I have another pair of Blondo boots in a size 6M that fit well. Since I have wide feet I ordered a 6W which were too short and too wide. Zappos is great and I exchanged them for a 6 1/2 wide which are perfect. I love the color and plan to wear them as an everyday shoe.

These booties are stylish and comfortable. I followed the advice of many and ordered a half size up. I have wide feet and ordered wide, which I feel is on the narrow side of wide (if not just medium). When they first arrived I had to unzip both sides, and use a shoe horn to get them on. I walked around the house for a few minutes and they began to stretch. Within an hour I was able to just use one zipper and no shoe horn. I still think they are on the narrow side, but they will work for my needs: around the office or on errands, date nights, and other non strenuous occasions.
These don't have tons of arch support, and I'd have to order a full size up to use inserts. I'll keep them because they are cute and fit with my style, and I am really struggling to locate stylish flat booties in wide widths. The olive color is still neutral although I disagree with the review that placed it in the taupe family. It's neutral but there are green undertones. My first choice was the grey but of course it's sold out. Story of my life lol (I know... yours too, right?). Still, they are a nice addition to my fall wardrobe and overall I am pleased with my purchase.

I'm usually a size 8 but bought 8.5 based on reviews and they fit well with a sock. So nice to wear suede in the midwest in fall and winter--possible because of Blondo's waterproof boots! The dark grey is just that and a great neutral color.

Definitely order a half size up- I ordered my standard size and couldn't get my foot in it.

Very cute and comfortable. Get lots of compliments. Love the soft soles. They run very small and narrow so order larger than what you normally wear!! I'm normally an 8.5 or 9. Ended up with a 10 wide in this boot.

Very cute, not too Western in style, but even the 8W was too narrow on my moderately wide forefoot. I returned.

These booties were very cute and versatile! I liked the zipper detail. Unfortunately they run very small so I had to return them.

This is a cute bootie for something casual with a lower heel, but I'm still trying to decide if I want to take a chance on possibly ruining the suede by applying shoe stretch to ease the width. I could apply it to the inside, as some directions state, but the lining is fabric, so I'm not sure that would work either. I don't think ordering a half size longer will do much for the width. My usual size is 9W or 9C/D.

I had to order a full size up in this shoe - I normally wear a 6, ordered a 6.5 and it was too small, and then ordered a 7 and that fit. The picture of the Taupe Nubuck color is extremely misleading - I think Zappos has the wrong picture. It is not a deep brown but rather greyish-olive. Look at pictures from other sellers for the true color (e.g. https://blondo.com/products/liam-1). Am returning as I don’t like the color.

Good quality and I like the color but the ankle height was a little weird and kind of dug into my ankles. I didn’t end up keeping them but they are cute

Cute boots, but they do run small. The "wide" is really what I would consider a "Medium," so if you have very wide feet they probably won't be the best fit. I was able to exchange to size up and they are stretching a bit with wear, but they still feel a tiny bit narrower than I'd like. The gray color looks good with everything, and these can be worn with pants or skirts/dresses. Great for the fall/winter weather in Portland, OR... water resistant but not overly warm and insulated. My mother-in-law bought these same boots from a different retailer and said the soles came loose after a year or so; I've only had my pair for a couple months but they are holding up with frequent wear so far.

I ordered these in a 9W, taupe nubuck. I have other Blondo boots in 9.5M, and they're a little narrow but comfortable. These wide boots were extremely narrow, even wider than the regular width Sorel boots I also ordered. The 9 was way too short, crushing my toes; I've tried the Liams in suede, 9M, and they did not feel nearly as narrow or short. I also expected the taupe nubuck to be a cooler brown leather with some texture and color variations - they were actually very grey, with little to no color variation.

These are SO cute! They are nearly the perfect neutral bootie, except I just couldn't make them work. They have no arch support and their insoles don't come out. They were too tight when I put in my own, even with trying a larger size. I was bummed to have to send them back.

I have had these boots for several months now, and have worn them quite a lot. I love the look of these boots, and they are pretty comfortable due to the low heel. They seem to hold up pretty well to wet conditions but I haven't tested them thoroughly. My one significant complaint is that the heel area started to show wear immediately, there is a thin covering over the wood that almost immediately (day 1) wore through, making the boots look much less stylish and new. They are also kind of noisy (loud clopping sound as you walk due to wood soles.) I decided to keep them anyway because I generally like them.

I loved these boots. The colour, material, zippers, heel, toe shape - everything looks perfect. Unfortunately they don't fit as well as I need them to (I walk 1-2 hours a day in NYC, up and down tons of stairs and more rain than we let on). The combination of no arch support, hard heel, wide ankle opening and the angle of the toe curve made my feet ache just wearing them around the house. Wish I could have kept them, and will be looking for a similar pair that is more supportive/comfortable.
