BlundstoneOriginal Chelsea Boots - Unisex

Love these boots! I just bought my second pair to replace my four year old pair of the same model. i must have put at least a thousand mile on them, the whole time I was comfortable and stylish. Great quality, they come on and off easily with no lacing, and seem indestructible, despite me wearing them for welding to a wedding. I bought the replacement pair because I finally wore out the soles of the first pair to the point they were flapping around. A+

I love these boots, bought for a trip where I basically had to pick one option for footwear for ~6wks travel (with a lot of city walking) and they held up great and worked great for my feet. I will definitely say that it's a good thing I had time to build up walking time and break them in beforehand because they were very stiff at the start, though, worth considering if you're buying them for immediate wear. I've polished them twice over the past year, and they still look brand new despite the amount they get worn.

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.

LOVE THESE BOOTS! They're a little spendy. I ordered a size 8 and with thin socks they feel a little too big, but they can accommodate thicker socks which is great in cold weather. Love the tabs to make getting them on much easter

i used to wear blundstones as my main daily shoe. The new ones i ordered in 2021, because the didn't fit as well as the pair i used before, they fell out of favor as my daily shoe. and i used these mainly to work in my store only. The new pair i have hardly used since i bought them, and never on two consecutive days.so what i thought was mud tracked in to my office turnes our to be the soles that are breaking up.no bueno. i doubt i'll buy again

I spent months looking at these. Back and forth between a few other brands. Finally took the plunge and got it. LOVE IT!!! Im a pastry chef and im on my feet 8+ hrs a day. They are amazing. My feet dont hurt at all!!! Feels firm. Great quality. It doesn’t claim to be slip resistant but they are pretty slip resistant!!! Definitely worth the price, which i feel is pretty competitive with other brands!!! They look cute too!!! I got a 9 … im generally a 9-9.5 in closed shoes.
