Perfect fit despite my wide foot / bunion! Ladies check your size before buying!
I have a bad bunion on my left foot and also fractured my foot in two places a few months ago. Unfortunately, a larger left foot is now my new normal. But when I was looking for a waterproof ankle boot for rainy days, most wide foot options weren’t suitable for work or weren’t of great quality. After a bit of googling I found Blundstone, but when I looked at the sizes, I got confused with the sizing charts.I normally wear a Ladies UK size 9, EU 42, US 11 - so didn’t understand why it kept coming up with a size 8. After combing through the website, turns out ladies need to drop one size in the UK. Also half sizes don’t adjust length, it only makes the boot wider. So I bought a size 8.5 to reflect my wider foot. It came within 2 days and I couldn’t be happier!There was no need for me to stretch the boots for my bunion or anything. They were comfy to wear off the bat and wasn’t so big that it would slip around. The arch support isn’t as obvious as a Birkenstock (my other favorite boots), but it was fine. After a whole day trekking about, they started moulding to my feet. The quality is great and I’ll be wearing these for many years indeed!

Fantastic Boots at great price
Update Aug 2023:————————I have now had boots re-soled and re-healed. I am amazed it took 3 years before this work was needed. For a pair of boots under £150, this is amazing. Cobbler did a great job. He had to put in a Blake stitch to hold soles in place.I also replaced the elastic as it had started to fray along the top edge. If you choose to get this done, ensure cobbler does not leave slack as boot will be loose on the foot. The elastic must be the exact width of the side gaps.Original review:———————-After five years of almost daily use (and abuse) , I've finally replaced my Rockport Marshalls with these Blundstone Luggage chisel toes and I am amazed at the quality and comfort of them.Firstly, the fit. I'm generally a (UK) 10m, which is why cheap footwear does not work for me as it is usually either too narrow (UK10) or too long (UK11). Quality shoes like Jones (as was), Barker and Loake have always fitted me in their standard 10 and these Blundstones are no different, which have a generous width which means I don't need the 10.5 fitting.Comfort wise, these boot are amazing. The sole just seems to absorb all the hardness of walking.Regarding longevity, I’ve confirmed with my local cobbler that they can replace the soles when required. I realise that once this point is reached, the original 'feel' of a Blundstone is gone but the boots get prolonged life.Now to the leather. These boots are the stated full grain, just like my Grinder motorcycle boots to which I compared them; It is for this reason I went for these over another Rockport pair. I wanted the really high quality, thickness and protection of full grain Leather, knowing that, with regular care, they will not crack over time or allow water to penetrate and that they afford me the best foot protection I can get.I feel I should also add that I do polish my boots almost daily as well as treating them to a waterproofing wax on a regular basis.I take footwear seriously and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs, discovering welsh beaches, meadows and woodland but I dislike looking like a 'hiker' and so choose gear that looks stylish as well as being capable of performing at a high level. I did review youtube and written reviews about this brand and styles before I bought them.There is nothing I can complain about with these boots. I'm really excited to have a pair of Blundstones and look forward to abusing them, as with the Rockports before. I like to think I simply live life doing what I want and I buy kit that should be able to keep up. If it can't, it gets replaced.Hope this helps someone in any small way to decide if they want to purchase them or not.

Excellent all round boots
I had been looking for a pair of Blundstone chisel toe (more dressier) boots for some years and had previously tried on a pair in a shop so knew what exact size to order. These were offered in as cheap a price as I've seen so I bought them immediately. Unfortunately they did not ship to Northern Ireland (not sure why this was) but I was able to send them to a relative in Scotland who brought them over on their next trip home. The insoles were different than I remember from my previous shop fitting. They came with one thin insole whereas I seem to remember two insoles in the previous boots. This made them slightly large but I swapped out the supplied insoles with training shoe insoles and wore slightly thicker socks and they are now a perfect fit. Great design, well constructed, very light and good quality leather. I would recommend this product and this seller.

Stylish and Quality
I originally ordered a pair in my usual size (7) but they were massive. I returned and ordered an entire size down (6). I was still a bit concerned they were a bit big, but with socks and breaking in they have moudled to my feet comfortably.They are warm, stylish, comfortable and can be worn casually or professionally. I have always heard great things about Blundstones and am very impressed!

Blunstones v Redbacks??
Time to replace my Timberland Chelsea Boots - sadly the style I like no longer made - So looked at alternatives - It’s between Blunstones & Redback.. so I ordered both pairs - Sadly Redbacks in my size sold out on Amazonia ! Delivered within 2 working days - they look much better than the pictures, nice quality, good fit, slightly square toe which looks good - great with black & blue jeans imho - will be keeping as good looking boot at a reasonable price - as for the Redbacks - supplier told me they’re out of stock despite accept my order - However very pleased with look & feel if Blunstones- so will be keeping them.

Quality has dropped
Bought a pair 3 years ago that I have worn close to everyday and are still going strong. Bought a new pair recently only to smarten up a little - within a month of light use the leather on the heel is wearing away. Wouldn't reccomend again.

My new favorite go anywhere boots
This is my third pair of Blundstone's since 2018. And my first pair with a squared toe. Very impressive fit and quality. The boots were a bit stiff and tight out the box, but it did not take long for them to fit to my feet. They're very comfortable around town and look great with jeans or dressier pants. They can be a bit speedy, but they are worth every penny in my opinion.

Excelentes
Muy cómodas desde la primer puesta. Tienen tracción decente, por si llueve o pasas por un camino de tierra. Realmente son casuales pensadas para la ciudad, pero aguantan un senderismo ligero, aunque no sustituyen unas botas de hiking.

Lo mejor en botas
Son las botas mas resistentes y cómodas que encontrarás, el color varió varios tonos con relación a las fotografías que tienen publicadas, pero igual me gustó mucho.

Comfortable stylish both dressy and casual long-lastingYou can find this look for less money but they won’t last as long, knock-offs never do
