Customer Reviews Blondo Glenda Waterproof

Fit great! Definitely some “breaking in” the first day, but no issues the next day. From my top-down perspective these look like my mom’s footwear, but from the side they are very stylish!

Really cute shoe and print, I love the hidden wedge for some extra height. They are lightweight and the zipper makes it easy to put on and take off, unlike some Chelsea boots with elastic. Waterproofing is great for the Pacific Northwest fall/winter/spring. However they felt smaller and a lot more narrow than normal, I had to go up a full size for comfort and even then they're a bit snug on the sides (I measure at 7.5-8 C which is between medium and wide). There's no arch support and the footbeds are not removable so I'm not sure how comfortable these will be after wearing for long periods.

I am normally a true 8.5. These were too small even in the 9. Likely need a 9.5 in this style. Other problems are that the toe box at the big toe is narrow and pushes my big toe inward in an uncomfortable fashion. Also, the insole of the shoe is padded at the heel, but pretty much no padding under the toe and front area, leading to discomfort. I really wanted to love this boot, but sadly, will have to return. I'm a bit leery of Blondo in general, as they are made in China, and seem to vary widely in quality and comfort.

I agree with other reviewers that this shoe is narrow in the toes and also can be tight to zip up across the top of the foot. I have to wear thin socks with it. However, after wearing a few times, they have stretched out just enough to become my most comfortable shoe. I plan on buying more pairs. The platform and height is perfect to give a little loft but not feel like you are wearing high heels. I can chase my toddler in them easily and walk around the city all day long :)

I normally wear a size 10 but based on the reviews of the fit running small, I ordered both a 10 and 11. The 10 fit fine and the 11 was too big - so stick with your normal size. They are cute sneakers and were comfortable. The problem, and reason both pair are going back, is that I couldn't get the zipper zipped all the way up. They zip fine with no foot in them but not so much even with just the plastic packaging inserts in them. Clearly there is an issue with them not being wide enough at the top to zip with feet in them. The were wide enough on my foot and in the toe box and I'm definitely on the wide end of the normal/medium range. Maybe would be great if you've got skinny ankles but they just didn't work for me. I also ordered the Sorel Joan of Arctic Wedge II Zip, which I'm keeping - those are so awesome that my husband launched a 'keep the Sorels' campaign even though they were twice the price of the Blondos.

These were exactly what I wanted--something cute and easy to throw in bad weather when I need to take the kids to school or run errands (I wear slip-on Skechers in dry, warmer weather). However, they were so unbelievably uncomfortable that I cannot imagine wearing them even for a few minutes sitting down. The top of the shoe was pressing down so hard on my instep that it was unbearable. There is nothing in the way of arch support. If you have high arches and/or insteps, forget about this shoe, despite its cuteness and versatility. Sad to return...

I always order a half size larger than I normally wear and that is what fits perfectly for me!!

Based on other reviews I was skeptical but they fit true to size and were comfy all day. Compliments galore on these!!

These are so comfortable. Id wear them everyday if I could.

Very cute shoe, but my feet kept slipping out of them even with thick socks. So disappointed that they'll have to go back.

Super cute but they were not comfortable.

I ordered these knowing that they were a little bit out of my comfort zone and usual style. They appear to be well made and fit fairly well. Zipping them up was a little tight, and I do NOT have a high arch or instep or anything like that, so keep that in mind. They are a narrow shoe, but would probably stretch, but the big issue that I couldn't get past is that the wedge heel seemed ROCK HARD. Like, really hard, weirdly hard. And that just wasn't comfortable at all. I couldn't imagine myself wearing them for a whole day, ever. So, kinda cute, but not so comfy. Thanks, Zappos, for letting me try them and send them back.

I ordered a second pair of these in camo from zappos in the exact same size and style (purchased first pair from a different store online) and the pair that came from zappos was at least 1 size smaller and did not even fit on my foot. I compared the soles and the shoes were vastly different lengths even though they both say size 9.5 in exact same style. I am very disappointed and not sure what size to order in the camo now -- was this a manufacturing issue with just the one pair, or do these run smaller on zappos??

These shoes feel great at first, but after several wears they have started giving me blisters despite wearing medium thickness socks. The best thing about them is that they’re super light. Would rate their comfort as 3/5.

I wanted to love these shoes so badly, they are super cute. However SO narrow and small, I had to go up a full size just to find one that fit. Once I found one that fit, it was clear that the shoe was just not comfortable. Really the hardest least padded footbed ever.

I absolutely love Blondo and have never had an uncomfortable shoe from this brand. This shoe was SO tight around my ankle and I could barely zip it all the way up. It’s a cute sneaker but I would not recommend it. I was really disappointed to return these.

I kept these in a smaller size. Very comfortable and attractive.

I love these shoes! They're a perfect combo of stylish and functional, and they're so versatile. I'm 5'0" and I absolutely love the hidden wedge and extra sole height. I live and work in Seattle, and they're perfect for walking around in the city (~2 miles a day) and keeping my feet warm & dry after accidentally stepping in a giant puddle. My only criticism - arch support is poor, so I added inserts (on top of the existing sole - although you could probably swap them out) and they've been perfect since then. Highly recommend!

I loved this shoe, but unfortunately the zipper started to break on one of the shoes after less than two week of wearing them.

I love these shoes. However, the left zipper was pulled apart at the bottom of the zipper. I am going to exchange them. I also find it strange that the photo shows that the shoe is clearly stamped in the white area of the outside with "Blondo Waterproof" and the actual shoe doesn't have this on it.

I had seen a friend wearing these in NYC during her visit and it was pouring rain, she said her feet didn't get wet!!! I have been on the fence but finally bought a pair and love them! Very comfy and fashionable.

Had to order half size up, love them!

Nice shoe but runs small

These shoes are amazing. I bought them right before a weekend away and got a ton of compliments on them, they go with anything and they’re really comfortable. I wore them for only the second time walking around the city for hours and the only complaint is they started to rub on the outer edge of my pinky toes a tiny bit. They’ve been comfortable since. I want every color.
