Customer Reviews Blondo Valli Waterproof Bootie

These are the cutest booties ever, I have bought them 2 years in a row in the black suede and they look fabulous even wearing them most days. I walk through puddles and they still look new and deep black. I wear them primarily with skinny jeans, and I have a ton of boots but these are my very favorite. They are sure footed and never slip on wet floors and I walk really fast. Even though they are waterproof and good for rain boots, they are still super sleek looking and fashionable. I wouldn't have needed to buy them a second year, but my teenage daughter wanted them so I gave her my old ones and got new. I was just coming online to buy them in black leather too. LOVE them!

Great boot. Had a tough time deciding between the Blondo Valli and Villa. The deciding factor was the strip underneath the zipper was much narrower on the Valli causing more rubbing of the zipper on my skin.

I bought these to try along with a couple in another brand that were similar, all in the same size. The Blondos were the better fit for me and I kept both colors. They are not the world's most comfortable shoe - I wouldn't recommend them if you need to walk longer distances or are on your feet all day in them. But they are not uncomfortable either and for office wear and such they are fine. I've had many compliments on the style and have them in both black and grey. I don't know if it's fair to mention other brands but the ones that didn't fit me well were the Sam Edelman in a very similar style, less expensive and colors I really wanted. But they were both too long and too narrow across the instep and oddly difficult to put on without crushing the side inward.

I have these in the mushroom color in size 7 and loved them so much, wanted to buy them in black too. However it just didn’t fit the same. Bought size 7.5 so that I could wear thicker socks but felt super tight and narrow. Ordered size 8 but was swimming. In search of the perfect boots, I also tried the Villa and Nando. Villa is a tad shorter so it dug in the back of my ankle at an uncomfortable spot. But it is wider so it’s much more comfortable from that perspective. Nando had the taller heel which is what I was looking for but the footbed was not as cushiony as the other two. I decided I had to send them all back. Really wanted one to work but will keep looking.

I usually wear a six, but knew I’d be wearing socks, so tried a six and a half the first time I bought them, and this second pair fits just as well! I love this bootie!

Beautiful leather, sort of in between suede and leather (minimal texture if that makes sense), true to size, comfortable enough. Almond toe which is always in style, imo. Waterproof adds to the practicality, although I haven’t tested that yet. Overall a great value.

Pretty chic looking bootie. I have a really old pair of Blondos in a 7.5 WW, which I have loved and worn the heck out of. I haven't been able to find the Blondos in WW anymore, which is so unfortunate. I love that they are waterproof, but I was looking for something a little beefier to stand up to bad Pittsburgh winters. These would serve for style on a rainy/snowy day, but probably not for a beater boot.

Was sent this boot by accident instead of the Blondo Liam that I already own in a different color. I would have kept them, except the top of the Valli boot is just a tiny bit narrower than the Liam and it makes a difference for me. Otherwise the sole is great and they are comfortable.

I regularly wear a 9.5 in shoes but often a 10 in boots. I should’ve ordered this in a 10 because the 9.5 was way too snug in the toes. I tried on dozens of other boots and needed an ankle boot that was ideally waterproof, lined for comfort and warmth, would look good with both casual and slightly more dressy outfits and that I could walk on for hours, especially for an upcoming winter trip to Europe. I really like the Blondo brand and ended up buying the Blondo Vegas2 - size 10. Out of the box it was a perfect fit incredibly comfortable, kept my feet warm (but not too warm) and after wearing it for 8 hours straight the first day I am convinced this was the ideal choice. Very happy!

I normally wear a 7.5 and sometimes an 8 in dress shoes and boots except Blondo. I have another pair of Blondo boots and they're 7. Based on reviews I actually bought both a 7.5 in the Villa and an 8 in the Valli (they didn't have a 7.5) to compare. Both were huge. Returned and got the Vallie 7 M. These will work well with tights and light weight socks. The 7.5 might have worked if I was going to wear heavy socks but that would be the exception not the rule. The color is a very dark gray like pewter which will hide the dirt.

quality suede; solid construction; I wear a 10.5, but hardly anyone makes 10.5. I was shocked that the 10 fit. So, I guess you would say that they run large? The heel is a bit wide, however every boot I've tried - all brands - seem to have a wide heel this season. P.S. LOVE Zappos!

The bootie is functional but the style is boring and the wide is not much wider than the standard medium width. If the wide had fit better, I might have kept them because I love the waterproof technology despite the fact the waterproof sole takes away from the look of the shoe. All in all, not a bad looking shoe. Just not wide enough.

I was excited to receive such great looking and versatile boots, but my wide foot wouldn’t go inside in the wide width, and I ordered a half-size up. Returned them, sadly.

These booties are very cute and the insole feels comfortable, but the toe box is too narrow for me even though I ordered a Wide.

Super cute booties at a great price. I got the mushroom and it's an ideally neutral shade. The shoes are roomy enough to wear a pair of warm socks, which is perfect for me for Fall and Winter. Quite pleased with this purchase.

I love the way they look and feel. However, I have ankles prone to spraining.The heel is a little too high and narrow without any ankle support. Sadly, I have to return them.

I have just purchased my 2nd pair of the reliable Valli Waterproof Bootie in black suede. I also have a pair in mushroom suede. My first pair is about 5 years old and it was time to refresh but they are still going strong. These are my go to booties for winter/wet weather. This is your workhorse bootie, maybe not your cutest pair but the one you'll wear day in and day out if you find your fit. I travel to Seattle a lot so I can tell you they are definitely waterproof! I usually wear a 6.5 medium, but strangely the 6M is better for me. The back of my ankle goes up and down in the 6.5. So I sized down and only wear a very thin nylon sock or tights. Pretty true to size for most though. I have an average ankle so don't experience rubbing there however they do rub a little on my ankle bones but that improves after a few wearings. A good fit in the heel will prevent discomfort with rubbing.

I purchased the black suede and they look great! I normally wear a 7.5 in regular shoes and an 8 regular in boots, however, for these boots I ended up with an 8 wide and they felt just right.

Lovely boots that fit well and look great. Sadly, there’s not much cushioning under the balls of your feet, so I wouldn’t want to walk around in them all day, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. (If you’re not super particular about that, they’ll be fine.)

Nice looking bootie, but the sizing was way off; way narrower and shorter than other brands in the same size. I'd like to try it in another size( if it comes back in stock), because it seemed well made, had nice color choices, and is waterproof.

I liked the mushroom color very much, but I found it a little too low in the ankle. It rubbed. I preferred the sketchers same color a little higher in the ankle area.

I love the boots. However, I need to return this pair. One of the elastic insets on the side does not lay flat. This is uncomfortable unless I were to always wear thick socks.

The top of the boot rubbed my ankle and was oddly snug even though I have skinny ankles.

Cute boots, but even though I normally wear 11N, the 11B was too narrow - probably because of the more pointed toe. I'm returning but not giving up on the Blondo waterproof brand.

These are higher on the ankle than the Villa bootie which I love and own in 2 colors. I don't think they are as versetile and the villa because of the insert elastic over the ankle which makes them look more casual. Also it rubbed my ankle bone. Returned!
