Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1604 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Hm, not sure about these boots - I might be an inbetweener for Blundstone's... I tried the 8.5 (my usual size in other brands) but they were too short (which makes sense, since half sizes for these boots are just wider and not longer: strange!). Sent them back and tried the 9 - a better fit, length-wise, but now they are rubbing on the back of my heels (ouch)... going to try various insole and sock combinations, but might have to send them back and give up my Blunnie dreams (sigh). Other than the weird fit issues, they are lovely - the blueberry color is more like a soft steely grey-blue and the boot is cute as hell - not heavy at all... they seem well made and worth the splurge (if their odd sizings work for you).

description says leather-lined but the main part of the shoe & toe box is lined in some kind of fabric (leather lining is only right at the ankle). also the "blueberry" is barely blue; looks very similar to the rustic black color. having trouble finding the right size/fit in these; seems a half or full size larger is the way to go? i'm surprised at all the reviews i read about these being so comfortable as i'm finding them really stiff with a not-so-comfy footbed. maybe an even larger size will be better...

Beautiful blue boots. My third pair -the previous 2 being brown. Make sure you understand the sizing. They are roomy but run a bit small in the length. Technically (I think) they run whole sizes only, with the half being a bit wider. Order up. I wear orthotics so really need the extra room even after taking the insoles out.

Great quality boots. I took out the footbed and added my orthotics for better arch support. These boots are comfortable and will last forever. Very high quality craftsmanship. If you like a little room in your boots, size up 1/2 size. The blueberry color is gorgeous.

Loved these so much I bought another pair the next day. Perfect comfort . I'm on my feet all day.

This is my third pair of Blundstones in 26 years! They are the BEST!!!

Very very very comfortable!

Blundstone used to run large and very wide. I have a narrow foot, size 9, occasionally 81/2 and the 9 is perfect. They look and feel great.

Looked a little bit too much like a rubber rain boot

not very "Blueberry"

I usually take womens size 9 or 9.5. The 6.5 fit with thick socks. The color is blue grey and looks good with jeans. The pull tabs on both the front and back are critical to getting them on. The materials and construction are top notch.

I bought the recommended size (larger than my usual size) and have worn them consistently for about 6 months. Unfortunately the top of the boot is too tight and presses down over the top of my feet, and can be quite painful. I assumed that this would loosen with wear so I dutifully kept wearing the boots to break them in, but it never happened. I don’t think I have particularly high arches but have seen other reviewers now complain of the same issue. It’s a bummer because they’re beautifully made boots!
