Customer Reviews Blundstone BL510 Original 500 Chelsea Boot

I bought these for my son who is a wood crafter and on his feet on cement all day. He loves them and they have helped his back. Got the good inserts too!!

I love these boots! They are warm, waterproof, and stylish. I have never received so many compliments on a pair of shoes before. At first, I returned them because they felt like two different sizes, but as they broke in they evened out nicely.

These have proven to be the most sturdy, long lasting boot I have ever worn. I have both my children and my wife in these, as well. Not the most fashionable, but damn worth the purchase.

I've always wanted a pair of these boots. I must say I am not disappointed. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and i believe the fine craftsmanship will give me years of wear.

I normally wear 8 1/2 women's shoes. Initially, I ordered an AUS 6/US 8.5 women's, but the boot measured 11" -- my foot was swimming in it! I'm not sure if the boot was actually an AUS 9 and in the wrong box. I exchanged it for an AUS 5.5/US 8 women's and it fits great. Comfortable and I have room for insoles (only comes with moderate arch support). Really happy with the boot -- but watch the size.

I wore my last 510s into the ground over rough terrain and 7 years. Re: Blundstone's unfortunate and controversial production move to Asia, my new ones are every bit as great, well-made, and solid as my old AU pair. If I had to choose one shoe and one shoe only to wear exclusively for the rest of my life, it would be Blundstone 510! And Zappos made this purchase excellent in all ways.

I bought these for my 12 year old son. I have had my pair for 16 years. I wear them all the time. They have endured weather, dog chewing, and time. The absolute best shoes to own. Everyone should have a pair. Durable and stylish.

This is the second time we have ordered these boots for my son. He has other shoes, but he always seems to wear these. Very comfortable and good if you stand a lot (which he does at his job). And they are waterproof and have shock absorbing soles. We love them.

These boots felt great from the start. There was no break in needed. I wear them on concrete floors for 9 hours a day and they keep my feet comfortable and supported. I ordered a half size up to accommodate an orthotic insert. Love these boots.

Love these boots, definitely high quality and will last for ages. Happy with the size and comfort. Remind me of a grownup version of Doc Martens.

Great boot. I'm a size 14 US and the 13 fits me really well. I'd say it took about a day to break in and now I'm wearing it nearly every day. It's a great looking boot with jeans or dress pants. A bit chunky looking, not sleek but definitely passable.

I bought two pairs of these boots, black and dark brown, to take on my recent London trip. The forecast called for rain almost every day so I wanted something that would keep me fairly dry. I loved these boots. I wore them all day every day until the sun started shining and it ended getting kind of hot. They are very simple but cute...your typical Chelsea boot...and I really loved them. I bought my size and had no problems with fit or blisters. To be safe, I bought an insole insert because of all the walking; I recommend doing that.

Every member of my family has a pair of blunties, so we are huge fans. This pair was for my daughter and she loves them. They are the perfect winter shoes like flip-flops in the summer. The fit is great. They are definitely water-resistant/proof, providing them decent arch support. I wear them everyday. They are great muck shoes.

This is the 1st pair of Blunnies I've purchased since they moved their operation out of Australia. The boots seem to be crafted about the same. The only difference is that the leather is a bit more stiff and has a little chemical smell to it and the elastic is bit tighter. Overall though, it is pretty much the same boot to those made in Australia. I have worn Blundstones pretty much everyday for 10 years and I don't see that changing.

Hey Blundstone purchasers. Yes, the production of this superb boot is now in Thailand. Even if the overall quality of the boot is perceived by some to have suffered, it is still one fine boot! I had 2 pairs of Tasmanian made before the changeover and I was prepared to be bummed out, but after a week or so I forgot they were on my feet and they were so comfortable, just like me previous pairs. Still the best boot on the planet! I am one weird dude when it comes to shoes and I still love the Blundstone boot. Get yourself a pair!

Love these boots! Took two tries to get the right size, but the Australian 7 is perfect (I wear 7.5 or 8 US). Super comfortable, and look great with shorts.

Very comfortable, versatile, and great looking. Sizes are a bit tricky. After reading reviews. I bought a half size smaller than usual, but probably could have gone a whole size smaller.

I love these boots. Took them to NYC and walked all over the place in them, warm and comfortable with wool socks. Ran into rain and large puddles, no problem. These boots did not leak and they looked great the next day. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Love them!

Recently purchased a pair of the 510s. I normally wear a US 11, the Blundstone 9.5 fit me perfectly with medium weight socks. Tried the Blundstone 10, was a little too big. From day one have had no issues with fit; as comfortable as slippers right out of the box. They are a little snug around the ankles, not too snug. Wearing them in light snow and slush, my feet remained dry and warm. I am an avid Clark Wallabee/Desert Boot wearer, can now add the Blundstones to my list of the most comfortable shoes on the planet. As always, Zappos service was awesome. Ordered the boots on a Saturday night, received them Monday afternoon. Now I think I need to get them in a few different colors.

Blunnies are the best! This is my second pair, and I plan to buy a third pair in red. They're comfortable, durable, waterproof, and easy to put on and take off. What more can I say?

Blundstones - This is my first pair of Blundstones and I must say they are very nice fitting and look great. They seem very comfortable and I look forward to getting a lot of use. I have gotten a lot of compliments from woman...

Best Boots! I am really impressed with these boots. The fit, style and comfort are perfect! I was hesitant to order without trying them on first, but with Zappos return policy and sizing chart, I felt more comfortable. They fit well the first time!

Great boot, great looking! I bought this boot for my artist-professor husband, who is hard on shoes and also somewhat hard to fit. I bought the same size as his latest hiking boots, good decision. The first time he wore the new Blunnies; one of the boots rubbed the back of his heel and made a blister. Better socks, a shoe tree, and wearing them in solved that problem shortly and he is loving them now. He also gets favorable comments on them from his friends, who now want them! Well-made, good value.

Awesome!!! I am a 50 year young waiter on my feet running around hustling grub and grog. Have had these for about 4 years. Best footwear I've ever owned! Am going to get the (brown) 500 model for more color coordinated comfort. Rock on my peeps!

I can play music in my Blundstones! I play music professionally which involves standing on my feet with a 12 pound bass guitar on my shoulder for hours at a time. I've been searching for comfort and something in black that would hold up and not be a standard dress shoe and I found it. Great footbed. True to size. Not too hot on your toes. Very little fatigue while wearing them. I get the feeling they will last forever.
