For how expensive these are, they aren't nearly as comfortable as I thought they'd be. They are EXTREMELY difficult to get on and off - and I don't have a high instep. Foot bed fits well and they are fairly comfortable once they are on. The right boot rubs the top of my foot to the point of putting it to sleep when I'm driving or in the same position for a long time. I've been looking for something fashionable, but could be worn on a worksite, and these look good, but my not cut it long term for over $200.

I like these tremendously and I feel they'll work really well for my purposes - getting around town in comfy, somewhat edgy, booties. They are hard as the dickens to get off tho! I did read they loosen up, so I'm hopeful.

I normally wear a size 7, but I read that they run small so I ordered a 7.5 and they’re still too small so I am trying to exchange them for an 8 because I do love them and know they will last forever and get comfier the more I break them in! Be sure to order a full size up!

I love these boots. They are true to size and super comfortable. The only downside is that they are a bit hard to take off. I have a narrow foot and it's still a struggle sometimes.

Love these boots but getting on/off is a challenge due to a high instep. I think they will only get better with time though.

These shoes are super comfortable and I'm sure after I put in the work to break them in, they will be perfect.

These are very cute but a little more dainty than I like. They are slim and sleek and felt smaller than marked; however, the style is very good and if they were a bit "bigger" or "chunkier" would have suited my tastes and foot a bit better.

These are beautiful, rugged and I expect will keep me warm and dry, but I need a shoe horn to get on and help to get off!

The sizing on these boots is all over the place. The 5.5 (8.5 US) fit smaller then the 8 I tried on at REI. The 6 (9 US) was huge and wide. Will be returning both.

Lovely boots, but color was much lighter than pictured and described. Color is definitely grey, not anywhere dark enough to be called black. These high tops did not fit; I have very high arch and could not even pull the boots on. Returned for the black leather not-high-top boots. This is my third pair, so I know they'll be comfortable, last a very long time, and be my all-around go-to footwear. The 3 rating is due to color and fit of this particular style. I give most Blundstones a high-five :)

These are great boots, but the women's sizing is actually men's. I ordered a women's 8 and they were at least 2 sizes too big. I ordered the exact same boots in a women's 8 from another retailer and they fit perfectly.

I have a pair of Blundstone 500's and have loved them from the first time I wore them, (2019) and wear them all the time. I thought the "high" would be a nice look, but the height of the shaft was irritating on my ankle bone. I would like to return them.

Couldn’t get it off of my foot! I love the look of this boot and it felt good on my foot, but it was very difficult to get it off of my foot. I thought I was going to have to call the neighbor for help. I didn’t bother to try the other one on. No matter how good they look and how good they feel, I don’t want to have this kind of trouble taking them off. I am returning them.

It is a nice looking boot but too narrow at the top making it too hard to get on and off. I sent them back.

Ordered a size 8, which I usually order in a boot, it was huge! It's a cute boot, order size a down. And I thought it was a bit pricey.

I legit could not get my foot into the boot. They seem beautifully well-made and exactly the style I was looking for, color is amazing, leather soft and gorgeous; my feet are size 9 medium, slightly narrow and my ankles are very slim; there were 2 capable adults each holding/pulling a tab at the mouth of the boot but literally, in earnest, too small of an opening to get my foot in, much less make the turn into the actual boot.... It appeared that the actual foot part would have been a perfect fit, perhaps will try a different style.

I've wanted this particular pair for a long time. I tried everything I could think of but I finally had to return them. The opening is just too narrow, and I have small ankles. I absolutely could not get them off with help and I mean a lot of help. It was just as difficult to get them on but at least I could do that on my own...eventually. These aren't my only Blundstones, just the only ones with such a tiny opening.

I bought the high tops because I wanted the Shiraz color. The opening is very narrow and so they were not comfortable. They were also difficult to put on and take off. I returned them.

These are awesome boots except for one major flaw: the shaft is so narrow I could barely get my foot in and out. The footbed felt great and the Australian sizing conversion works: usually, I take a size 8-8.5 so I ordered a 5.5. I struggled to put them on and then my husband literally had to pull these boots off my feet for me, they were that tight - I couldn't pull them off myself.
