Purchased these in my normal size 6.5 and they fit bigger than my other shoes. However, if I wear thicker winter socks they're perfect so it gives room for that. The foot cushion inside is really nice. It has a sort of gel or memory foam feel to it and it makes it easy to wear all day. When I first took them out of the box it was the first time a realized there are two zippers that actually work on the shoes. It makes it great for tucking in longer pants with thicker socks without everything getting bunched up.
I love the fact that they're waterproof for these iffy Texas winter days when a day starts out cold and cloudy and then unexpected drizzle comes along while you're out. The soles are non-slip and feel great when walking in from wet weather.
The fur trim gives it a nice look and the whole shoe just feels great. I would definitely recommend this shoe for anyone.

These were sized a teeny bit on the generous side, but in a good way. The toe box is ample, and there's room for thick socks. I have a high arch, and it's difficult for me to find shoes with the arch in the right place. These did the trick! I wore them to wade around in snow when clearing off my car. My feet stayed warm & dry. I'm very satisfied.

I bought these for my mom. Originally I purchased a 7 1/2 but they were too big, the 7 fits perfectly. They are very comfortable!

I usually wear a 6.5W, but I ordered a 7W in the Blondo Silas because I knew I would be wearing warm socks with them. With the socks on, the 7W feels good. I think the 6.5 would be tight. I have just tried them on, so I cannot comment after wearing at length, but I felt very little arch support; however, the tag on the boot says that the sole is memory foam and will conform to the wearer's foot, so that could bring more arch support with some wear. I love the fact that the boots are waterproof and resistant to stains from salt. I am ready for when the snowy, slushy days hit with my Blondo Silas boots! They feel cozy and are very cute!

I have problem feet—horrible bunions and hammertoes but narrow heel. Typically, I order 7.5 wide in shoes. The 8w in these boots will allow me to wear thick wool socks and still have room in the toe box. The removable insole is another nice feature. The black suede looks and feels lovely. Not sure about how the boots will hold up in winter snow.

I wear 7-7.5 in most shoes, sometimes 8 in boots or athletic shoes. After reading the reviews, I decided to chance it and selected 7.5 to hopefully provide enough room to wear medium weight socks without the boots being too tight. They fit perfectly! I like the style and they look cute with leggings or skinny jeans. Haven't had a chance to try the "waterproof" quality yet, hope that proves to be perfect as well.

The Blondo "Silas" suede waterproof boot is very comfortable out of the box...no break in time! They have a squared toe so there is extra width and no tight pinching across the top of your arch. You can easily wear a thicker pair of wool socks and not feel like you don't have any room for "swelling" feet (long walks) if on your feet for hours or walking for miles. They are warm too. I normally wear a size 11 med in shoes and that is what I ordered. The length is correct so no need to order up in size. If anything you might feel that they run a little wide.

I absolutely LOVE Blondo boots; these are no exception. They are super practical and functional, but also stylish, cute and comfortable. I can wear these on errands on a snowy day, and stop by the office and feel neither under or over dressed for either one. As with all blonde boots, they are waterproof, which is icing on the cake. I’ve had another pair of blinding boots that I’ve worn for 3 winters, and they still are in excellent condition. Highly recommend this brand!!

This is a gorgeous and cozy little boot, and the faux fur trim is a nice and stylish touch. It's warm, and I love that it's waterproof (though I haven't yet put that to the test.) I love the memory foam foot bed, and I think it will be comfortable for long walks on a winter vacation to Europe. The one odd thing about this boot is how large it runs. I'm usually a 10 and 1/2 and went with a 10 because of others saying the boot runs large. It was big enough on me that I'm considering going down to a 9 and 1/2, but I'm on the fence. The 10 isn't so big that I can't wear it, especially if I get bulkier socks . But the size is notable. I held it up next to a size 10 and 1/2 boot I have, and it was considerably longer and a bit wider. I also have narrow feet, and the M felt just a touch wide on me. But overall very happy with the purchase even with the size issue. Love these boots!

I finally found my winter boot! I wanted a boot that was easy to get on - this one was - and warm and cute. This fits the bill. The zippers are easy to get up and down and there's plenty of room inside. I think it ran maybe half a size larger than marked, but once I put in a wool insert and wear thick socks, it will be perfect. I love the faux fur trim. I had to try a couple of other brands before I settled on this one, but it's perfect for a Chicago winter.

These are great boots and are very well made. I had to return the 8M and get the 8.5M, though, so that is why I said the boot felt s half size too small. The size 8 (my usual size) left no room at all at the toe and would not have worked with thick socks. Having said that, Zappos' easy return policy saved the day and I now have the perfect winter boots.

I usually order up .5 size, needing extra room in the toe box. This time I didn't, and even ordering in my true size I am floating around in the bootie. It is definitely warm and waterproof, tested over a Michigan winter. However, it is very hard to walk in them because I slip out of them with every step.

I usually wear a size 8 and recently started wearing a wide width due to a bunion. The 8W in these felt too big and I could almost walk out of the boot. The 7 1/2 W fit much better. Boot is cute and confortable with a cushioned insole, but not so much arch support.

Tried these in a 7W as 7W works fine in a Rockport Cobb Hill sandal and pump. This really cute bootie was so narrow that I couldn't even get my foot in it! I wore a pair of cotton socks, medium thickness. I loved the zippers on both sides of the shoe which, if the right size, would make them easy on and off. The sole is very rigid rubber with good traction, I think. Looks like there would be great arch support, but I couldn't get my foot in so I don't know. I think this would be a good shoe for someone with a narrower foot and the 7W would probably fit a "normal" non-wide foot. That said, the suede is gorgeous and the faux fur around the top of the bootie is beautiful! I need a waterproof bootie for Eastern Europe in the winter, so will keep looking.

I wair size 8 and the fit was slightly larger than shoes I wear but I think they will be great with heavier socks for winter.

The fit was perfect. Extremely comfortable boot and very stylish too. I have a flat and narrow foot and it fit me perfectly. Just wish it came in other colors!

The most comfortable boots ever! Very warm and cute. Could not be happier with this purchase.
Have received many compliments on the boots. Perfect for cold weather and waterproof for snowy days.

I loved these boots,they seem warm and comfortable.They fit everywhere except the toe,which is too long.. I wish they were available in 5 1/2, these are size 6, which usually fits. They also appear to be too long for me when I look down at my feet,as if I am wearing someone else's boot.
so disappointed,waited a long time for my size to be available.
