I am a landscaper/gardener and these are my work boots - I wear them every single day to work and have dug holes for hundreds (thousands?) of plants during the nearly 4 years I've had them. I've never had a work boot last this long.
I've worn Red Wings, Merrills, Keenes - nothing has lasted this long. Honestly, the leather still looks darn good - but yes, I did oil them on occasion.
So, I would recommend these highly. The ankle might feel a bit annoying at first, but it stretches a bit and after a few weeks you don't notice it.
I definitely LOVE being able to easily slip them off to walk into a client's house or my own home! After a few years, as the sole ages, I recommend adding an insert for comfort in the shoe, but when new they feel great.

These just arrived today, so I haven't got anything to say about their durability, but they fit great and are very comfortable right out of the box! I am normally a US women's 10, and that's what I ordered. Plenty of room in the toe box, even with winter SmartWool socks and the removable inserts. Width is great for my normal-to-narrow foot. I didn't have any trouble sliding my feet in, but once on, the boots feel secure. Quality of the leather seems excellent. They're also, pleasantly, not very heavy for a boot their size. Very excited to wear them all fall and winter.

A bit of work to break in but I’ve worn them every winter since 2018 and they’re still great. The scratches appear brightly against the red color but I brushed them with some boot stain and it covered them up nicely. Still a winter staple.

Very comfortable, easy on/off with the pull tabs - I don't miss tying laces. Good fit, but be very careful with Australian sizes; best to try on before buying. I had to drop a size and a half from Australian sizing to get a proper fit that didn't allow my heel to slip. Very good looking but a little too warm around the ankles for above 80 degree days. Bought another pair in black after wearing my brown pair to work for a day.

No hype with these boots. They are easy, durable and keeps your feet dry. Oh, they are also comfortable. Highly recommended.

Boots fit good, following Aussie sizing. I like them better with the included inner padding they included with the boots. Not totally waterproof, but they sure come close.

These boots are so cute and they fit perfectly! I love the wider toe box and the antique brown color. They are incredibly comfortable too. Can pair them with lots this spring.

Needs a few wears with heavy socks to break them in, and then the most comfortable boots I own. Waterproofed with some bees wax and now wear in all weather. Questioned the price, but after daily wear for about a month indoors, outdoors (snow, mud, rain, walking) they seem well worth it, especially if they hold up for years. Drier feet with warm socks than my beloved bean boots

Bought my first pair of Blundstones about a month ago and had to come back for another color. Very comfortable and compliment my winter closet well. Also appear very well-made and will hopefully last me several years.

I have wider feet and calves and this boot still fits wonderfully! I am obsessed and wear them all of the time.

These shoes were a gift to my son. He put them on right out of the package and pronounced them a perfect fit. After a few hours, he thought they might be a tad large, so he put in the thin interior linings that Blundstone includes with the shoes and then they were perfect, no breaking in necessary, and he's now worn them all day, everyday for three weeks. He is usually a size 10, and we ordered the Blundstone size 9 as suggested. It works. Beautifully made boots.

I have 5 pairs of Blunnies, so I'm a bit biased. Comfortable, versatile, durable. The only time I don't wear these is in the dead of summer. Otherwise, there's a 99% chance I'm wearing one pair or the other. I bought these as an alternative to the thermal version as the thermal model sizing is off. I took the stock foot beds out of these and added a pair of Blundstone shearling foot beds. Perfect fit, warm & toasty.

Very comfortable and easy to put on. I'm a U.S. mens size 11 and took the recommendation of a size down and they fit really well with the insert provided. Very satisfied with them!

Super comfortable, sturdy, wear resistant. Sole is good in wet conditions. Was concerned ankle was stiff but it loosened up pretty quickly. Now my everyday boots - love 'em so far. Definitely pricey but worth it.
