Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1630 High-Top Chelsea Boot

I have been waiting to invest in a pair of Blundstones and am not disappointed! However, there is definitely a breaking in period. The boots can be difficult to get on first, especially the high tops. There are plenty of tips online for breaking in a pair of Blundstones. I opted for crushing the heel and wearing them quite a bit.

I LOVE these boots. Kind of a bit of a hassle to break in (the quality is excellent) but will loosen up over time :) I wear them to work often. Highly recommend!

I always wondered about these boots and finally got a pair. I like them a lot!

I will never buy another boot…..

This was like putting on a made-for-me foot glove. I have a pretty narrow foot and there's a nice amount of room in the width while still being snug. The arch support and cushioning feels better to me than the custom made $600 orthotics I have!

I am so glad I took the plunge (into my wallet) and bought these. I've been eyeing them for a while but have been hesitating due to the cost. With feet that often ache, I have limited options for footwear. These boots are comfortable, stylish, warm, and just what I was looking for. I anticipate they will last me many years, and feel that this was a worthwhile investment!

I love that these have as tight an ankle as they do! It's not easy to get them on or off - I used a shoehorn, but I really dislike when Chelsea boots have a gap. These are the first pair that actually wrap my ankle like a lace up. I am a size 40EU/9.5US. I tried on the 10's and they were too large. The 9.5 seem to work well in width, but because the company says 9 is the same width, I am going to try the 9's as well. These are a lifetime boot with Australian sizing, so I am investing the time to try on all the sizes and colors. I know many people who own these and they age beautifully, and I hear the ankle loosens a bit, too, without a gap. They look super cute with ankle jeans. Overall, I am a big new fan of Blundstones. Highly recommend.

I got a half size larger to wear bulkier socks. They fit great, are comfy and virtually zero break-in needed. Warm and sturdy.

super comfy as all blunstones have been. Love that these are a little more casual look and can rival the Doc Martens Chelsea in style

I like the boots a lot. They are well constructed and fit true to size. I’m happy with the purchase.

comfortable, warm and stylish! I waited a long time before purchasing and so glad I finally did! Cute with leggings, jeans and skirts.

THese have the coolest retro look to them. They go with most of my outfits, casual, some rustic dressy outfits, recreational, etc. They are so comfy I never want to take them off. Only drawback is sizing, I struggled to find my right size and had to settle. I am a true women’s US 9. I went to an REI and tried on the equivalent of a 9.5 cause they were out of 9. I could not even get them off. My boyfriend has to pull them off my foot hurt it was soooo snug felt like a size 8. So I ordered 10 from Zappos and they fit great but slightly too wide, but of course I’m out of options can’t size down cause length. I compared Blundstones to Dr. Martens sizing chart. A size 9 US is 9.62 inches with Blundstone and 9.88 inches with DM. These Blundstones definitely run small so maybe purchase two sizes you’re between and compare.

Comfortable

Love love love love. Had a super hard time deciding between these and the shorter style but I prefer'd the look of these as found them a bit more feminine/cute. THEN I was worried about all the reviews of them being tough to get on. So, they sat in my closet until I made 100% sure I was ready to keep them. Fast forward, and after about 4-5 wears, they are easy to get on and I understand the hype. So glad I purchased them!! I’m usually a US 8.5 and the 9 fits perfectly. I got the Rustic Black as I prefer the worn in look to the shiny black ones. I wore them today walking in town for a couple miles in rain/snow/slush and they were comfortable and kept my feet day (I wore them with thin athletic socks). I'm so glad I purchased these in particular of all the Blundstone and recommend them. Just don't plan on them being easy to get on at first.
