Customer Reviews Blondo Valli Waterproof Bootie

Fit great and look amazing.

I have worn these a few times in the rain since purchasing them, and am very happy with their water resistant exterior and comfort.

This is my third pair of Blondo booties. I am in Seattle quite a bit and need a 100% reliably waterproof boot. They past the test for that and are comfortable enough to wear everyday, all day. My feet have never been cold in them in WA or northern CA. They are not my first choice in a bootie for style but for function you cannot beat them and they are a solid choice with pants. I find that the ankle opening hits my ankle bone in the wrong place and can rub a little but I discovered if I just don't zip them all the way to the top- maybe give myself a 1/4 inch from the top- that takes care of the problem and provides me a little more give.

These are a great every day winter boot. Since I spend equal time indoors and outdoors during the work day, I like that they are waterproof. They can be dressed up or down. The heel height is perfect and the ankle opening is since and snug. The matte finish to the black leather is a nice touch. They are very comfortable--I haven't had any foot pain or fatigue like with lower quality shoes. The heel does appear to be covered in fabric instead of being stacked leather, as other people have commented. That's the only disappointing thing, and I'm hoping they don't get damaged.

Love them! Very comfortable and definitely waterproof...it was pouring the night I wore them.

I ordered several pairs of boots as I have a difficult foot to fit and both the Blondo pairs (Valli and Villa) I ordered were the clear winners. I ordered in the wide width and the Valli was just a smidge wider across the ball of the foot, which fit my foot better so kept that pair. I am wearing these boots with a merino wool sock and have found them to be fairly warm. Just got back from a European trip and if you stand on cobblestones for too long you will begin to feel the cold. Not so much an issue if you keep walking. There was little to no breaking in period on these. These are higher than most my shoes, yet found them comfortable. I hope the gray comes back into stock in my size as I would love to have a second pair.

I love these boots. I usually wear a 6 and have a wide foot so I just bought the 6.5 and it fits well. I have it in black as well and actually they’re quite comfortable. I love the color- not too light or dark. Blends well with many shades of gray. Great purchase.

Love, love, love them! They were exactly what I was looking for and fit perfectly. The style is classic and the reviews were spot-on. Kudos to Zappos for the ultimate in selection & speedy delivery!

I really like these boots, but they definitely run big. I’m usually a 10 when wearing thicker wool socks with boots (normally a 9 or 9.5 in other shoes), and these fit me in size 9. I ended up ordering all three sizes (10, 9.5, 9) before figuring that out though.

I love these boots, now that I got the size 6. I first ordered the 6.5, which is the size I wear most often, but after trying them on and walking around the house for a bit, I decided they were a bit too long. So, I ordered the size 6 and they fit well. I also think they run a bit narrow. I have a narrow foot and these fit well with a slightly heavy sock - just what I hoped for. Thanks Zappos for making it easy to return the pair that didn't fit well and quickly get the ones that are comfortable!

I wanted a pair of low booties that were comfortable for long days working retail. I wanted attractive and made of leather uppers for breathability. I have black and brown booties, so a different color was a plus. These booties seem to fit the bill. The grey is pretty. The heel height gives a bit of lift, but is comfortable for long hours of standing. The toe is a happy medium between round and pointed. I don’t know if these are waterproof; I haven’t tested that yet. For the record, I wear a US 5M flat without socks and always go up a size for boots so I can wear them with a sock. I have two small bunions but the fronts of the booties are comfortable. I would say the sizing of these is like the sizing of Clarks booties and shoes (a tad longer and wider than size).

I am sadly returning these boots. I really like the appearance, but they are a real struggle to get into [even with nice sized zipper] if you have any kind of arch.

These boots are just what I was looking for - style and comfort. Heel height is just right They don't have much arch support but since I have narrow/skinny feet there is enough room for me to insert slim insoles with an arch and voila - perfect for me. I also love that they are waterproof - haven't had occasion to test that yet but trusting that this is true.

Love these booties! The heel is just the right height to look great with jeans or skirts. I purchased the black waterproof leather but they look and feel like a very fine suede. So cute!

Perfect, will be order the grey , wish the came in deep blue or a navy blue would buy those to

Perfect fit, great style, and comfortable right out of the box!

I liked these but the toe was just a little too pointy for my taste. I ended up going with the Blondo Rapha but these are lovely boots as well! Comfy, stylish and waterproof! Fit true to size.

I ordered an 8 and 8.5 Med width and there was no difference in sizing. Felt narrow.

These are AMAZING. They fit great, are very comfortable, the heel height is PERFECT for a SAHM who wants to look sort of nice but also needs to be able to chase a kid around. The black leather is GORGEOUS, sort of partly shiny near the toe but more matte up the shaft. And the best part, they are WATERPROOF!!! But your foot doesn't sweat in them, they are not like rubbery or anything. Just amazing shoes, I am so thankful to have found these!

Very comfortable. Did not require breaking in. I will probably purchase another pair in a different color.

Wonderful shoe. Style + comfort.

Love them!

I love these shoes. I needed a cute short boot to where to work and these are adorable. They fit true to size. The black suede are classy. I hate lint and these dont seem to be a problem with that. A little pricey but they seem durable and will last a long time.

I had debated on buying these based on the color, but I am glad that I Did! The color is just a shade lighter than shown and just what I had wanted. I love that these are waterproof with rubber soles so that I will have some traction on snow and ice. In regards to the ankle fit, it is perfection. I am short-lived 5 feet tall, with athletic legs. The ankles fit perfectly!! The only foreseeable issue is the stretchy part on the ankle rubs a little. I will put on some anti-blister stuff on when wearing. No big deal. Very cute and stylish.

Comfortable from the moment I put them on, although I did go up a half size from usual size. I have a wide foot and high instep and the 1/2 size up was more comfortable. Padding of the sole is not as noticeable as in some other "comfort" shoes but otherwise very nice feel to fit. have not worn in wet weather , cannot attest to waterproofness. I did try another style of Blondo ankle bootie and found that it was "digging" into my ankle. This valli model with slightly higher ankle is perfect.
