Absolutely obsessed with these boots! It took me a bit to find the right size. I’m normally a size 7, and I tried the 7, 7.5, and the 8. The 8’s were absolutely perfect (blundstone has tips for measuring for the right size on their website & I would have ordered 8’s right away if I had done that). I wore them this weekend to a cabin getaway and hiked a bunch in the woods and never wanted to take them off. No break-in period at all...just perfectly comfortable from the go. I just ordered the sheepskin footbed from Blundstone to make these warmer for the winter because I’m going to be living in these. Tempted to buy another pair in case they ever stop making this style.

I tried these shoes at a store and really liked them. Slept over it and still wanted them and purchased from zappos given awesome previous experiences, and the fact that it was on a Black Friday sale! I was super excited to get them and when they arrived, upon opening the box I was disappointed. The suede was completely worn in several spots, revealing the black under the suede. The boots looked more black than dark olive, completely contrary to the ones I saw on display and that I tried at the store. Needless to say, these have gone back and I have since paid the extra money to buy them at the store.

I've been looking for great winter boots that can get me through a slushy sidewalk/parking lot but not weigh down on me all day and look clunky. I've seen these boots on a lot of people. Tried on when they arrived and they were so comfortable right out of the box. Look pretty cute with jeans. Great on a dog walk with snow and ice and feet stayed warm at 18 degrees. So much less clunky than my usual winter boots. Wore them all day and they were terrific. Probably won't work on the snowiest days, but they are going to be great for most of (unending) Boston winter.

I have a high instep which makes it difficult to find a pull on boot that I can get my foot into and which won't pinch the top of my foot during wear. These are super comfortable, light weight, and I wore all day on day one w/o any discomfort (or need to stretch them out). I previously had a pair of Blundstone 550's which I did need to stretch at first. But, these were perfect right out of the box!

The boots fit like a glove right out of the box. Combined with the great looks, I'll be ordering another pair!

These are my first pair of Blundstones. A number of colleagues swear by them, and the Chelsea style is something new for me, so I thought I'd give them a try. Overall, I'm very pleased, but dark olive is definitely not the color in the photo on this site. Mine a more grey, with a hint of green - no brown whatsoever! I thought about returning them, because they aren't the rustic outdoor work boot I expected. I decided to keep them because they look stylish with jeans. Maybe I'll get another pair for yard work!

Good fit. I tried deviating after years of wearing blundstone. I went for a new style of Chelsea boot, designed in NYC and fabricated with care in Mexico, with replaceable soles. My Blunnies get worn out on the sole, then need to get thrown out, so why not keep my shoes and have the sole replaced periodically? BECAUSE. The others are heavy, with stiff leather heels and tight toes. I tried patience with the newflangled style, but to no avail. I had learned my lesson. Blundstone boots are strong, water resistant, non skid, and light. I will just have to throw out my perfectly good leather uppers when the foam sole wears out. It is a small price to pay for such comfort and reliability.

Excellent cold/rainy weather boots. Very comfortable even after hours of walking. I have skinny ankles, but these may be tight for others with larger ankles.

It’s true. They fit like a glove. This is my first pair of slip on boots that go up over my ankle. I wasn’t sure how I would take to them. I like them so far. I’m now interested in getting a pair a bit more fashionable as these are a bit more work oriented. I did put in my own inserts as I have high arches.

I like them, but they do feel like they push your foot forward all the time, making them awkward to walk in

The color is definitely darker in person. I usually wear an 11. I ordered a 9.5 in these and they fit perfectly snug.

GO TO shoes. Took a couple of full days of wearing to break in, but now I love them and wear them any time I'm not at work. Perfect for snow/rain/mud, haven't had any problems with wet feet. Not the warmest, but with wool socks are alright for New England winters. Good shoes for being outdoors or out at a bar. Would buy again. Actually, I unknowingly inspired a friend to buy a pair cause she thought they looked so cool. I usually wear an 8.5, got a 5.5 and they're perfect (again, after a bit of breaking in). My first but not likely my last pair of Blundstones.

I've tried a few different models of Blundstones and these are the first that felt just right. Guess I hadn't gotten the right size before. They are challenging to put on because of the style, but that is true of most Chelsea boots when they're new. I have only worn the around the house so far, but they feel ridiculously comfortable. My husband swears by the waterproofness of his boots, so I hope that proves to be the case for these too.

I LOVE the look of this boot - it is exactly as pictured, a dark olive-y brown. I am a pretty standard size 9 foot, so I bought the AU size 6 like they suggested, and they fit just right - I would not want them larger or smaller. I wear a decently thick sock with them for comfort. I do not find the footbed very cushion-y or arch-supporting, maybe because the wideness of the style causes my arch to miss the raised arch area of the footbed, or maybe I have a higher arch? I am going to try adding an insole for more cushioning/comfort. I find the boots really stiff, and one heel is rubbing a bit on the back of my ankle. I am hoping they will break in and that will go away. All this to say, I like the look, and quality of these boots so much that I will try to work out some small issues. Sidenote, the rounded toe version looks more flattering on my big feet. I had the style before with the squared-off toe, and they looked too clunky on me. I plan to wear these year-round!

Very comfortable boot, I liked it a lot! I returned it because the olive color was a
deeper and darker green than I had expected based on the photo.

I ordered the 7.5 to size up from my size 7 in other Blundstone boots (also Blundstone original model). These boots are the exact same size as my 7's!

These shoes fit me a little small--my big toe hit the end of the boot, so unfortunately, even though they looked good, I sent them back. I have some Dr Martins that were much more comfortable on me.

Everything having to do with the fit and comfort was fine. The reason I'm sending them back is because they are really scuffed up! It almost looks like they were used. I'm very disappointed because otherwise I love them.
