321 customers mention "Boot quality"315 positive6 negative

Customers like the boots. They say the boots are made with excellent materials, their feet feel great, and they don't hurt at all. The front and back feet feel nice and well-done, while the top of their foot doesn't hurt. While unlined, the smooth and very well-done finish is very good. While some have a wide foot, the boots don't let them down. They are a classic Aussie shoe, the comfort and quality make them a great investment, and these are great country/city boots for all-purpose wear.

Great leather and comfort
I usually buy Red Wing's or Danner's but I wanted something more comfortable. These boots feel like a running shoe and a work boot had a baby. They are also waterproof. I washed them off with the water hose and my feet stayed dry. I did add some high-arch insoles because I thought the original insoles were lacking in that area. They are true to size like a tennis shoe. Work boots usually run a 1/2 size to a 1 whole size large. That is not the case here. The leather is the nicest of any of my boots. It is smooth and silky to the touch and have yet to crease with 2 weeks of daily wear. I also love that the 500 series are unlined whereas the 550's have a fabric lining. The unlined leather breathes and keeps my feet dry and odor free. I only wish they offered more colors. I bought the stout brown and they are almost black. It's a great color that is very versatile and can be worn with most any color.

    I got these at a too-good-to-be-true price so I was skeptical that they were real Blundstones. I went for it because I figured either they’re authentic but a great deal, or fake and I could return them. Turns out they’re actual Blundstones and I was super pleased at the price I scored.

    I love Blundstones and these are the 4th pair I’ve owned. They’re cute, pair with everything, comfy, supportive, just about waterproof if you oil them occasionally, great for all seasons, have almost no break in time usually, and the insoles can be removed to be laundered or replaced. I’ve used them for serving and they’re maybe not as slip resistant as true kitchen shoes but close enough for the job. I’ve gone hiking in them (after they’re well broken in). I wear them all winter with the snow and slush. I traveled with them without looking as much like a tourist wearing hiking shoes, and they kept my feet dry in soggy Scotland. They’re expensive (if you don’t find a deal somewhere, REI Used usually has some) but absolutely worth the cost.

    Couple tips:
    • Australian sizing is different. Whole sizes = length. Half sizes = wide. I wear a women’s US 9/equivalent to a men’s US 7, so that translates to a unisex AUS 6. If I needed a 9 wide, I’d order AUS 6.5. (Extra tip: if you need a wide size, get “used” because those will usually be new but people didn’t understand the sizing system.) As for my fit, these fit as described. I always wear a 9, these fit like a normal 9. They don’t run narrow.
    • They should be a little bit tight across the top of your foot initially. Leather stretches, so give it a little time but it won’t take long. Just wear them when you’re at home if you have to break them in. Or wear thick socks and then point a blow drier at them to stretch them quickly. They will not stretch lengthwise though, that just means you need a different size.
    • I find that quarter crew socks or higher work best. Cheap ankle socks will just fall down in the boot, and the back of the heel/ankle will be sweaty against the bare leather. Wool socks are worth the cost and wick moisture way better than any cotton sock, especially in a shoe without some kind of ventilation. I love Darn Toughs.
    • Oil them. It doesn’t need to happen all that often, but it will greatly extend their lifespan as well as maintain the waterproofing. They’re expensive, so it’s worth the time and effort. I use a neutral-colored mink oil.
    • The way these wear out (for me) is that the leather gets way too loose and I need to keep adding inserts to take up the extra space. Eventually, a hole wears through at the side where my little toe joint is (that doesn’t stick out for everyone though.) It isn’t that the seam comes undone, it’s a wear spot in the leather itself. My first pair lasted almost 5 years of near daily use.

    First let me clear up the sizing questions. I almost always wear a size US11 in men’s sneakers (Reeboks, Nikes, etc). I probably could wear 10 or 10 1/2, but I like having about an inch worth of space (or thumb width) in the toe box (normal I think). So I went with an 11 in these, after reading they’re true to size. Nope. They were a full size too big. So if you’re basing this off your sneaker sizes like me, and you wear your sneakers similarly, you’re going to want to go a full size down. I ordered a US10, very snug at at first, perfect and oh so comfortable after a few hours! They’re supposed to feel a little snug (there’s no laces!). I also own a pair of the dress version with the square toe in a US10. I read somewhere that those run a little bigger than these. Nope. It’s a different kind of fit, but If you own those and they fit well, get the same size here. (Also worth pointing out that these are wayyyy more comfortable).
    The only minor complaint is that they arrived with a very slight crease in the toe box. My guess is someone else got the wrong size too and send them back, since it’s almost impossible to try these on and walk around a little without making that crease. wasn’t bad enough to return though. Other than that they look great, smell new and definitely seem authentic. Very satisfied.

    I bought these boots just assuming they would be cheaper than the actual website because I've been wanting these boots for a long time and finally invested. The boots both say the same size but the fit was completely different. I've not had a problem with other shoes fitting that way. I checked the website hoping that they would have the color and size I'd want because I looked deep into amazon to find these for them to just be wrong. Not only did it not fit, it's also cheaper on the official website. It say it will not refund me until 2 months after I returned it. (returned on 10/29 and estimated refund is 12/4) Do not waste your time.

    L'acquisto migliore che si possa fare. Qualità impareggiabile e durata sorprendente.

    Comprati per la prima volta nel 2016, sono durati quasi un decennio. Ho usato i Blundstone per le attività più diverse. Garantiscono una totale impermeabilità e sono adatti a qualunque contesto sia per praticità che per estetica. Comodi, sicuri e belli! Dopo quasi 10 anni di massimo utilizzo, più che giustamente, uno dei due stivaletti è arrivato a fine vita per usura e così, senza neanche bisogno di pensarci li ho ricomprati il giorno dopo, identici e pronti alle avventure del prossimo decennio. Valgono ogni centesimo e sono una scelta più che sostenibile vista la durata che garantiscono. Nella foto quasi non si distinguono quelli nuovi (a SX) da quelli vecchi (a DX), visto che l'unica usura di quelli vecchi è comparsa sotto la pianta. Consiglio vivamente di ravvivarli periodicamente con un prodotto apposito per scarpe color neutro o marrone perché tornano ogni volta come nuovi.
