Customer Reviews Blundstone BL550 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

I was leery at first about these because I have difficult to fit feet and I am like the "princess and the pea" when it comes to foot pain. These boots are super comfortable. I wore them around the house the first week and then ventured outside on walks the second. They are comfortable. I have had no areas of rubbing or pain. I do wear thick socks with them, however, as that gives me the additional cushioning I need. I usually wear a 6.5W (or a 7D in New Balance running shoes) and the size 4 worked for me (I had ordered the 3.5 as well and decided they were too small).

I ordered these shoes for my Dads Birthday, they were ordered on a Sat. and arrived, as promised on Monday. I feel a lot of companies promise delivery, but Zappos, delivered. They have great customer service. I would recommend, using their service anytime! My 90yr old father, was over the moon, when he got his package. Thanks Zappos, I am again the daughter, who thinks outside the box!

Tight to get on, but fits perfectly. If it is too tight to get on, it is a size too small or more. I love mine, very lightweight and easy on your foot. The perfect boot.

I finally found the right Blundstone, thanks to Zappos and my daughter who gave me a gift certificate. I had purchased a size 7 Blundstone in black5 years ago for my size 71/2-8 (USA) foot. The fit was slightly tight but I loved the shoe so much I wore them hoping they would loosen a bit. I took advantage of the Zappos free shipping and ordered a pair in 7 1/2 walnut and when they were a bit tight ordered one in AU 8 (US9). The description of the Blundstone being an outdoor slipper also helped me, since the AU 8 felt comfortable and fit like a slipper. I am very happy with my purchase and plan to order a pair in black to replace the tight ones I have struggled with.

I purchased 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. Great fit, comfortable, no break in period. Love them!

This is one of the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. Maybe one of the most comfortable pairs of footwear period. As this was my first pair of Blundstones, the only tricky part was getting the fit right. I ended up ordering both an 11 and 10.5 (I normally wear a US 12) and the 11 was the right fit. The Zappos customer service team was beyond AWESOME in getting me squared away on the shipments and return of the wrong size.

My husband loves these. He has been wanting them for a while, and I bought them for him for Christmas. It is apparent that they are extremely well made, and they are a rich deep brown color. I expect them to be highly durable. Most of my husband’s shoes are size US 10.5 with some size 11, and that’s what I ordered (corrected for Australian sizing, so a 9.5), but they were too small, so I re-ordered an Aussie size 10 and they fit perfectly. I would recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes. He loves them and has been wearing them every day. I love Zappos’ delivery, free return shipping, and returns policy -- he had his replacement shoes within two days, and thanks to Zappos’ excellent tracking and updates, I always knew exactly where my return was and when it got credited.

Love these boots. Fit true to size, but a little roomy, so you can were a thicker sock. Great quality. Light weight. Look excellent with jeans or khakis. Super fast shipping from Zappos.

I purchased these boots for my son who lives in Chicago. He absolutely loves them. I ordered his regular size they fit great with his thick wool socks.

I recently ordered a pair of Blundstone barn boots and could not be more pleased with their immediately comfortable fit and finish. Zappo\'s handled the transaction in such an efficient, user friendly and easy manner that I have been recommending them to all my friends. This could not have been a better shopping experience.

Fit great, feel great, look great! These shoes can vary in fit from pair to pair. I own 4 pairs. It might be prudent to order 2 identical pairs in case one doesn\'t fit quite as you\'d expect.

Great boots, I have them in Black, and they look as good today as they did 3 years ago when I bought them. Sizes do vary a lot (from a shoe salesman). These are slightly snugger than my other pair, which are a size smaller.

Best boots ever! I've had 3 foot surgeries and I work at stable with 21 horses. I've very careful about the shoes/boots I wear. These are wonderful. Have heard about them for years and finally decided to get them. They felt comfortable from day 1! I LOVE them! Love the fact that I can put my custom orthodics in.

Excellent, etc,... but they are slightly larger than expected... even with heavy socks on.

Best boots ever - Best boot ever, period. Light, comfortable. As appropriate at dinner as they are in the woods. Zappos service was excellent. Arrived next day even though I ordered standard ground delivery. Remember when ordering: Australian size 8.5 is American 9.5.

Great Boot! Stylish enough for a casual night out, and tough enough for working in the outdoors. The insert pad is a great bonus. It makes the boot feel like a glove!

Finally! It IS what it says it IS! I was apprehensive about giving these BL550s to my husband as a Christmas gift; especially after never having seen them "in person", BUT they are EVERYTHING Blundstone says they are. The insoles enclosed in the box made them even a cozier fit. I was concerned that the backs might rub on his legs and cause blisters. Didn't happen! He tells me over & over how great they feel and felt right from the beginning.

Give 'em a break - These started out feeling a little stiff in the heel, but after wearing for just an hour they had softened up and continue to soften with every wearing. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn and provide incredible shock absorption all day long. I look forward to putting them on in the morning; they "give back" no matter how long the day.

I bought this pair of Merrells last year in Dec and they are the most comfortable warm pair of shoes I have ever owned. I was going to buy new shoes for this winter but nothing feels as good as these. Mine are black suede, I think I will buy the black in smooth leather too. They fit my size 10 (not wide) feet perfectly. I wish they were available in Mens for my husband.

I love these boots! These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I am a horse person who works in and out of the muck most of the day. I have problem feet from wearing footwear that did not fit properly. These boots are perfect for what I need. I love that they are nice and wide.

Outstanding boot - These boots are outstanding: comfort, versatility, and style. You can wear them almost anywhere (ok, maybe not on the beach...) and have all-day comfort.

My favorite shoes! I've had my Blundstones for over 5 years now and I love them! Comfortable, rugged, great for all kinds of weather, and so classic. I've worn them in the city and hiking... I'm also a big klutz and I swear they help me stay upright. I also put those gel insoles in and that makes them perfect. I'm really happy to see them here on Zappos - I'm happy to spread the word about these gorgeous specimens of leathery goodness. Treat your feet!

Pros: Good looking, well made boot. Roomy toe box. Their Medium width is a little wider than average (as wide as Timberland Pro Nashoba Soft Toe in Wide width). Flexible & light weight. Easy on/off but stays in place on foot well enough. Good for casual use. Cons: Not a very rigid/structured boot to support heavy work. Little arch support.
