Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1673 Heeled Chelsea Boot

I am normally a 7.5 but went with the advice of other reviews on here as well as other sites that say they run half a size small, so I went with an 8. Glad I did! The 7.5 would have been too small. The thicker the sock, the harder it is to get the boots on and off; as to be expected with this style of boot. Thinner the sock, the easier to remove! Great boot, excited when they are broken in!

Absolutely love these boots but they are near impossible to take off by yourself. I’m hoping they will become easier to take off the more I wear them!

From the moment I put these on - I knew I hit the jack pot!

Love these boots! They are super comfortable and look stylish. I bought them to battle all types of winter weather and so far they have been fantastic as they feel very sturdy and well made. I am typically a size 9 and I bought a 9.5. would definitely recommend going a 1/2 size up!

Love love love these. I had tried the original model a few years ago but they looked like clown shoes on my size 9 foot. These are more tapered in the toe and more feminine. A little tough to put on at first with the narrow ankle but not too bad and I'm sure they'll loosen up a bit. Love the heal too! Very comfortable!

These boots are amazing! I wore them inside with thick socks to break them in before wearing for a full day. Although at first they were a bit tough to get into, the more I wear them the easier it gets. 10/10 would buy again!

I love these Blundstone Women’s Heel boots! They are incredibly stylish, well made, impact shock absorbing footbed is very comfortable, and fit great out of the box. I bought them in black as well!

I loved this boot the minute it arrived. But, the fit was off. I'm normally a size 8.5 so I ordered that size despite of the other reviews. Should have listened! Although my foot fit fine once in the boot, it was a joke trying to get it on! My toes were fine in the toe box and my heel was the same but the top part was super tight and was squashing my foot. I thought briefly about taking them to a cobbler to stretch that top part for me but thought if I wore thick socks there's no way I'd be comfortable. The ankle part was a little tight, too. I ended up returning the 8.5 and got a 9 and I'm happy to say they fit great and are super comfortable. Easy to get on and off and enough room for thick socks.

I wanted to keep these boot so bad! I am normally a 9-9.5 in shoes and sometimes a 10 in whole size boots to accommodate thicker socks. In this boot the 9.5 was a touch short while the 10 was much larger and much wider! Sadly had to return them. A great alternative to the clunky Blundstones I see everyone wearing.

Great look, very comfortable. BUT very difficult to get on initially and even harder to pull off. The boot shaft is relaxing so they are easier to get on, but I still need help getting them off my foot, like a cowboy boot. I’m keeping them because they are very cute and I think they will relax. I also took the advice of other reviews and went a size up, so a 7 since I’m normally a 6.5.

I wanted to keep these so badly because they are very cute & Blunnies are virtually indestructible, but they just didn't fit. They were too large with the insoles out, and too tight with them in. These shipped with a thinner pair of insoles and I thought that was the solution, but after walking on the carpet for 10-15 minutes, the tops of my feet began to ache. I have unusually high insoles, so that is likely the problem. I really wish they would have worked out. Btw, as noted by several other reviewers, they are very hard to get off!

This is a nice looking boot, but runs narrow. I have low volume feet, so had no problem getting these on. My feet are flat, with a narrow heel but wide across the front (forefoot). Due to the width of my forefoot, I was not able to keep these, since they really are narrow in that part. I have no problem with regular Blundstones, which I love. The heel on these is attractive, which is why I wanted them. I'm usually a 10 in this brand and these would have fit, were it not for the narrowness. A size 11 was too roomy. Back they go.

I have tried the 9 since I have a 9 in the 550. I wanted to love these as they are a little dressier than the 500 or 550 but I had to go up an entire size to get them to fit the length of my foot. After buying the 9 then 9.5 I ordered the 10 only to have them be too roomy even with my orthotics in them. Thank goodness for the Zappos return policy! Will have to stick to the flats.

Felt great, but the heel was too far back and that made the side view of the boot look super, super weird. I was bummed because I expected to LOVE these and because I loved that they are waterproof, but they are going back. Blundstone, just move the heal forward a little bit and you will have the cutest boots ever.

I originally ordered a whole size up as the reviews said it ran small but it ended up being too big. So I went down to the 6.5. My other original blundstones are a size 6. I have wide feet too so the 6.5 fits good. BUT these are absolutely impossible to get on your feet. Idk why the ankle whole is so small. I might have to sent back I’m not sure yet maybe they will stretch. I literally bruised my finger trying to get them on, eventually with enough stomping and pulling I got one shoe on

These boots are beautiful and well made. The antique brown leather was a nice dark brown and not reddish. Unfortunately they were really tight. I got my usual 6.5 and the length felt fine but the opening is tight. It was a struggle getting them on and off. Once they were on they squeezed my feet around the instep and the stiff leather dig into my ankle. They may soften up over time. I’d be interested to know if anyone has experience with that. I’m considering ordering a half size up to see if that works.

Based on other reviews I ordered 1/2 size up from my normal size. They fit, but they were very difficult for me to get on and off. I had to return them. Too bad because they are nice looking, functional booties.

I love these, but why has no one mentioned they are IMPOSSIBLe to get on and off. Unfortunately the opening is way too small, very difficult to pull on or off. Too bad!

These shoes were given as a Christmas gift and were perfect in the beginning. Cute and comfortable….all you can ask in a boot. However, the soles wore down way too quickly for such an expensive boot. My gift recipient wanted to try another Blundstone in hopes that a new improved version won’t show average wear quickly. Unfortunately if it happens again I won’t be buying this brand again.

I loved the way this shoe looks online but it didn’t wow me as much in person. I sized up a half size as recommended and the shoe was still SO NARROW to the point of struggling to get it off once I forced my foot in it. I didn’t wear it for long but could tell immediately it wasn’t going to be as comfortable as some of the other blundstone styles. Wanted to love this but they’ll be going back unfortunately.

Buyer beware - Zappos might send you returned/worn pair of boots. I like these boots but received a pair with the left one noticably broken-in. Highly recommend buying directly from Blundstone!

I couldn't get my heal in the shoe. Had to return. Shame because they were so beautiful.
