Blundstone Original Chelsea Boots for Men & Women

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.

I bought my first pair of blunnies years ago at a brick and mortar shop in the states, after trying on pair after pair in multiple styles the salesman clued me in. Do the conversion from Australian to U.S., then make a further allowance for width. Blundstone doesn't produce widths but the width increases with size. In fact as informed by the salesman many manufacturers of these paddock style boots the half size is the increased width of the whole size. Whew! It's confusing but once you get the gist of it.....No biggie. If you have a normal to slender foot, you're golden. If you have a sasquatch foot like mine (13EE) You've got a teensy bit of math homework to do. That being said, these boots did fit as expected, after I did the appropriate math. Secondly; that first pair had worn like iron with broken in comfort right out of the box. You'll find lots of reviews regarding the outsole crumbling. I'm going to echo that sentiment. My second pair did exactly that, at about a year out. This kept me from buying a third pair. Until now. I've missed blunnies. The pull on ease of use. The cushy comfort. Blunnies will work with nearly any outfit. Suits to shorts. I bought a pair having read fewer negative reviews lately. That and I've found cobblers online that replace insoles on these boots. Who buys and wears blundstone? Everyone can wear them. Durable, comfortable, low maintenance, slip off quick for the line at airport security, lightweight, good looking and now resolable. A pair of blunnies and a pair of flip flops and your kind of set for anything short of mountaineering or full formal dress. UPDATE : Nearly a year of wear and no problems. They remain sturdy and comfortable even though they've been worn daily since purchase. UPDATE 2 Two years, one month and a day after buying and I've worn these boots in all conditions, year round. Commuting by bicycle through sweltering summer heat and blistering winter freeze, hiking in the foothills carrying a pack and a toddler, cutting and processing cord after cord of firewood in feet of snow. They wear scars from arduous outdoor and indoor labor. Miles and miles walked on pavement, dirt, rock and endless hour on the concrete floor at work I've never cleaned, waxed or polished them. They are worn but not worse for wear. While I have secured boots for working outdoors these boots still carry me through every other situation and other than lazy days spent on flip flops these are the only other shoe I wear with regularity. Daily. Very happy with this purchase.

This is my 3rd pair of Blundstones. Comfortable, high quality, stylish, easy to own, easy to wear. They transition from "dress-up boot" to "casual boot" to "work boot" as they age out. My old pair are now for casual work. My old-old pair are now for "hard-work" . What boot can do that! Note: Accomodates wider feet. The splash of color is a nice change.

Great shoe butjust a little too short.

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 have had four pairs of blundstones and they have all had soles that disintegrated well before their use dates. If you don’t wear the boots regularly they suffer from hydrolysis and totally fall apart without notice. Totally unpredictable and extremely poor materials. The boots look great and can be comfortable but you better use them regularly or one day they will just fall apart on you. I was hiking the last time it happened to me - I ended up walking home barefoot! Check out the pics. The boots looked perfect when I left the house then - poof - just imploded.

I was a little worried about these being knock offs or seconds, based on some reviews. I was also a little unsure of my sizing...the women’s blundstones I have say they’re a 9, do I ordered these unisex ones in a US 9.5 to give myself room for thick socks. They arrived with 8.5 stamped on the bottom, which freaked me out a bit but duh...it’s the Aussie size. They fit perfectly. They came in a branded box complete with warranty card (so they are authentic) and they did come with the removable footbed. With the included footbed removed, I have enough room to swap in a sheepskin insole for winter, and still wear socks. For reference, I’m a US size 11, women’s, and I have gnarly old foodservice worker feet with bunions. I am an apprentice embalmer and on my feet for many hours a day, in a lab and prep room on hard tile and concrete floors, dealing with slippery stuff and messes, and bought these boots for work/everyday wear on the recommendation of several chefs I know who swear by them for wet floors and standing. Right out of the box they were more comfortable than my sneakers. I have not tried them at work yet, because Covid-19, but they seemed to do just fine on wet tile in my kitchen. I will treat them with a waterproofing agent because for obvious reasons being able to hose them off is a necessity for me. So far they’re great. Plenty of room so my toes don’t get crowded and go numb, and were very comfortable on a short day hike. Surprisingly light, too, and the leather is soft but thick and the finish is kind of matte and nice looking. Not shiny and plastic-y like some reviewers described. I’m very pleased so far. Glad I took the chance.

First time using Blundstones as my kitchen shoe as a chef and will say I am sold. Took a little time to break in but I am a year and a half in and I’ve never had shoes that lasted this long. The non slip is wearing down which is the only reason I’m considering it being time to purchase a new pair and put my old pair in rotation as a home boot. Love the look and feel. Feet don’t hurt after multiple 12 hr days. Highly recommend.

Si perché il difetto principale delle Blundstone era proprio la scarsa durate della suola: si sfaldava dopo non troppo tempo, perdendo pezzi di gomma e rendendole ovviamente inutilizzabili. Ora sembra che le cose siano migliorate e che in fabbrica abbiamo capito che un prodotto non economico debba garantire durata e qualità. Consiglio sempre un numero in più del normale. Fatto ciò la scarpa è comoda e non stringe, nemmeno sul collo del piede o in zona malleolo. Ci si può mettere alla guida senza avere fastidi (come invece accade con altri scarponcini trendy). Tomaia ben realizzata, con pelle di qualità che resiste anche alla pioggia. Un ultimo grande pregio: non fanno sudare il piede!

足幅・甲高でのため、同じcmでも幅広**.5選択しましたが、合いませんでした。１つ上のサイズに交換も考えましたが、足幅・甲高のため断念し、返品しました。

Very cheap, they say PU on the box and definitely do not smell like the leather blundstones I am used to. The black shoes have a white outline of the PU/leather middle layer.

Delivered on time, as described. I was happy enought to get Tassie made Blundstone for a bargain. It was definately original and not a counterfeit prodcut. Have been wearing it for my bar job for last 2 years and still going strong. May purchase another one soon but I am certain this pair will last another 2 years easy.

Blundstone è sempre una garanzia, questo è il secondo paio di stivali che acquisto e devo dire che sono spettacolari. Comprate l'anno scorso ho ricominciato quest' anno a metterle ma sembrano nuove, sono estremamente comode anche tenendole tutto il giorno, esteticamente poi non ne parliamo, molto calde in inverno e soprattutto impermeabili Io direi lo stivale perfetto
