Customer Reviews Blondo Valli Waterproof Bootie

I love these booties. I wear the for casual or dressy. It took me a few tries to find the correct size. At first they felt a bit narrow but they either stretched out a bit or I just got used to it. I generaly wear a size 6 but the 6.5 felt like the best fit. My only word of caution is the heel. The description says it has a stacked leather heal. In truth it is a plastic heel wrapped in a fabric. Unfortunately I must have scrapped the heel on something and the fabric tore and the plastic is showing. VERY disappointing. They are stylish and comfy enough for a 5 star review but the poor manufacturing of the heel warrents a 1 star so I'm compromising with a 3 star review.

It’s a beautiful shoe but I have kankles and the rim of the top of the boot felt like a rubber band around my ankle. If you have thinner legs they might work. I typically wear 8w and ordered 9W. The fit perfectly everywhere except the opening around my ankle.

I ordered these boots praying the reviews held up because I wanted something a bit cuter than flats for my overseas vacation. I promptly wore them walking around Japan for an entire week. The first day I was out I walked over twelve miles and man, did these shoes hold up well! Stylish, comfy, I want pairs in every color.

It’s a very cute boot and I was looking for a pair to wear in the rain. I can’t wait to test them out in the rain. Hopefully there’s good traction.

Loved these boots at first. Comfortable and stylish; however they did not last. They are no longer waterproof and are falling apart at the seams and heel looks bad. So disappointed that spending the extra didn’t pan out.

I love these booties so much I've bought two pairs in Black Suede and two pairs in Mushroom for myself, and one pair in Black Suede as a gift for a relative. I have pretty much abandoned my other boots that have a higher heel. These are so much more comfortable, plus, they are waterproof!!!! They are terrific to take on trips...you don't need dressy shoes...just wear your Blonde Vallis! I tried the Villa as well, but the way they are cut just wasn't as comfortable. They seem shorter at the top and they also seemed a bit more narrow than the Valli shoes.

Love these! I compared these (Valli) to a similar style (Villa). The fit, heel and sole are the same. This one (Valli) has some nice stitching detail that I like. The Villa has a small contrast border piping. These fit the same as other Blondo boots that I have. Cute and waterproof - can't beat it!

I really wanted to love this boot, so much so that even though the wide widths were out of stock, i still ordered the regular 8.5 hoping i could squeeze into them. Unfortunately they were too tight for regular wear, but i could tell how comfortable they would be if i had the right size!! The ankle also doesn't come up as high as I expected.

Second pair of this brand and love them! I do a lot of walking so comfort is really important - these are so so comfortable but also stylish, just like my other pair. In fact I had to sprint to make the train today (made it) so they are super comfortable for running too!!

I really like the Valli but ended up with the Villa because the Valli came up a little higher and cut into my leg a bit, but the shoe itself was comfortable. Also, I have a really narrow foot so the Villa fit me somewhat better. I almost bought a similar, less expensive shoe in a different brand but read that the sole of the other did not have much traction. The sole and heel of this boot seem to have good traction in the rain and the boot is waterproof. I have broken my ankle twice so am very careful about the heel and sole of the shoes I buy.

"Singin' and dancin' in the rain..." Wanted a casual and fashionable waterproof bootie and this fit the bill. Purchased the mushroom in 6W. My usual size, 5.5W, was not an option, but foam inserts cushion the unpadded insole. It runs large. Generally it's comfy, plenty of room for my wide foot even with thick socks. I must wear long socks otherwise the top of the boots rub against my ankles. Easy on and off with the sturdy inside zipper. Wore them while traipsing through NYC and my feet were comfy the whole day. The best feature is that my boots stayed dry and spotless in the recent rainy days. Overall I rate this a 7/10.

So disappointed!!! I read all the reviews and spent too much on this pair in hopes that it would be good for my trip to Japan. I tried them on and immediately hated them. They are just low boots, uncomfortable and nothing special. Everyone said they were comfortable and great for walking. My question for those reviewers is what do you normally wear stilettos? These are uncomfortable and would be horrible for a vacation. I returned them promptly.

I have flat feet and struggle to find boots/shoes that are comfortable but also stylish. This is the 3rd pair I've bought because I tend to wear them every day in the winter and have worn out my other pairs over the past couple years. They match mostly everything in my closet and actually stay clean without any type of shoe spray - love these just wish they were priced a little less expensive!

This chic bootie looks and feels amazing AND it's waterproof. I normally wear 10 narrow or slim, but with the right socks, this boot works for my skinny feet and ankles. I'm excited to find a good fit in taupe.

I wear a size 5 or 5.5 shoe, and usually size up in boots (to allow room for a sock). I bought the Valli in a US6M. It might be tad too long, but my toes and small bunions are happy (especially with socks on) so I'm happy too. I've received many compliments about how attractive these booties are. I bought the grey suede. I can't testify as to whether they are truly waterproof; I have yet to wear them in the rain. But they are very, very cute.

I bought these for an October trip to Iceland to wear around town (I brought a pair of hiking boots for out-of-town excursions) and they did not disappoint. The color was beautiful, they looked great with jeans and winter clothes, and most importantly, kept my feet dry and warm. The sole is a rubber-like material that made it easy to navigate frozen sidewalks in town. I am so happy I decided to go with these boots.

The boots seemed great, the style awesome, but I had to return them because the ankle space was too uncomfortable - the edges of the shaft kept hitting my ankle in a very uncomfortable way. Make sure to measure your ankle circumference for that.

These are gorgeous, however somewhat plain, boots. I tried them in two sizes, and the half size up from my normal dress shoe size fit me better. I got them in wide, and they were adequate for my fat feet. I had to return them, though, because the arch hit my foot in the wrong spot. This is likely not an issue for most people, and everybody's arch varies, but I have serious foot problems, and recurring plantar fasciitis,so have to be especially careful in that regard. Bummer. They are great boots!

This is a great waterproof bootie, but would look fine in Spring and Summer. Fairly low heel height but very comfortable. I usually wear an 8.5 M and based on reviews ordered a 9M. I could wear it but with only super thin socks. I returned the 9M and am re-ordering a 9 W, even though I've never ordered a wide shoe! Really sleek and attractive though!

I love these boots! Comfy, durable, and really nice looking. I love that I don't have to worry about getting them wet, and dirt can be wiped right off with a wet washcloth. I have them in three colors!

Bought boots for trip and have been wearing every day with everything from pants to dresses. Super comfortable. Definitely waterproof. Fashionable. Highly recommend.

Great comfortable, stylish boots, great for year round wear.

Love, Love these boots. Very comfortable and waterproof!!

I ordered these boots four days before a trip to D.C. They fit great, and I wore them all day on the first day of trip. No blisters! And my feet felt great!!!

Far too roomy, even with thick socks. I ordered the usual size I wear for Blondo boots, but I will have to return these for a size down. The look great with jeans, and are super comfortable, I would just worry about sliding around and getting blisters, since they were a bit wide too. More comfortable than the similar Villa style.
