Customer Reviews Blundstone BL550 Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

Overall good boot, easy to slide on and off, durable, etc. with good heel height. My one issue with the appearance is that the front is a little too formless, with a lot of extra vertical space in the forefoot and toe box. That may be because my feet are large US W11, but I think it is probably for wearing thick socks? Either way, makes the book a little clunkier than it needs to be. Wouldn\'t recommend them for anything other than very casual wear, but as work boots they do the trick.

These boots are cute and comfy. The length runs true, but the width is really men’s. I had to put in 2 sets of insoles to take up the extra space. But they are still comfy, warm, soft and dry. I use them as my snow boots, easy on and off and they look good with jeans. I think they need more arch support, although they do have a little!

I love the look and the quality of this shoe. It seems very well made. My only complaint is they are not the most comfortable (around my ankles), but I think they will break in and be just fine. I would certainly recommend them though.

Ankle boots - I haven't worn ankle boots very long, and actually prefer a taller boot. But the Blundstone boot is comfortable and light for desirable walking boot.

A bit of breaking in - First, my feet are difficult for boots. I have high, but rolling arches. On a Brannock device, my feet measure to a 6.5B (L) and just under 7B (R) respectively, however I usually wear size 7.5. I attribute this to my high arches. A size 38 European usually fits perfectly. I ordered both the 4.5 (which is a bit snug in the arches) and a 5. The 5 was just too big, so I kept the 4.5, but I am having to break them in. I am not using the Blundstone insoles, but some more supportive ones. This is actually the first day I have worn them out of the house. The right boot fits quite well, the left one is putting some pressure on my arch. I poked around on the internet for Blundstone fitting and several sites said that you might experience tightness over the arch. If after a few wearings it doesn't get comfy, I will take them to the cobbler. The boots seem to be of great quality. I very much like the look.

I read rave reviews so was excited to try these boots. As advised, I ordered half a size bigger and they fit fine. They are well-made with good materials. However, they are stiff and really hard to get off and there is no room to insert any arch support so I can't wear them for long periods. Disappointed.

I was really hoping these would work out for my wide foot, but sadly it's too narrow even in the half-size. I'm a 10.5 E or EE typically with a wide forefoot and normal heel. Maybe they would stretch enough after a while, but as of now they make my forefoot go completely numb within 15 min from crushing it in width. Not worth the $200 risk for me though.

Have lost faith in this boot. The upper leather is quality, but it's all about the base. This boot does not hold up at all. The sole is the worst I have ever seen for a boot. Boots are supposed to be durable. I bought my first pair in Australia, they were amazing in all avenues: Comfort, quality, warmth. I wore them for over 20years. Someone changed the design, sadly. I got about 10 wears out of these boots. The sole began to crack after about 5 uses, then sat in my closet until the following winter. When I got them out for winter, the sole crumbled. Never have seen a shoe or boot do this. I live in a mild climate, mostly wearing flip flops. Boots are worn for a very short season. I hope they can remedy this issue, highly disappointing!!

Beautiful well-made shoes. I'm an 8.5 to 9 and ordered the 8.5 (AUS 5.5). Sadly, they were just a tad too small, so I had to return them.

I have Osteoarthritis and have had one knee replacement surgery. The first day I got these I wore them for eight hours. I would wear them every day if I could, but so far I only have one pair. They are comfortable, beautiful, supportive, and absolutely my very favorite shoes! For reference, I wear US 9, EU 39. I bought the AU 6, and they are perfect. Customer Service was great!

Boots got more comfortable over time, perfect feel after about 6 weeks

I found the pair I really wanted that was out in your store.

I bought the 8 and 7.5 - 8 fit way better. These are my second pair, my first pair lasted 15 years. If these last the same, I'll be 88 . . . Hope I last that long!

I found these boots run true in size. I'm usually a 9-9.5 and went with my bigger size. The boots look great with literally everything. Very happy with my purchase.

I ordered my never fail size 7.5 in womens (AU 4.5) and they were a half size too small. Not a super uncomfortable fit but my toes were right at the top and when I walked in them I knew that it was an easy half size up fix. I exchanged for the women’s size 8 (AU size 5) and they were perfect. I love that I can wear these boots with just about anything and could walk in them for hours (vs other Chelsea style boots that offer little to no support and cause foot ache over time). I would suggest ordering a half size up from your usual.

GREAT Blundstones ! My 2nd pair - fit perfect with lightweight socks, if you plan on wearing with thicker socks you'd need to go up a 1/2 size for sure.

It is an incredible boot of super quality, exquisite design, great comfort, genuine leather, it is worth the price, I enjoy it very much, the only bad thing is that it did not arrive in its original box, because it was damaged in the shipment

Comfortable enough to wear all day

These are the best shoes ever. Added a drugstore insole and climbed a mountain in them. After about a year you should recondition the leather.

Love these! Wore inside the house for a few hours just to confirm the comfort. Think they will break in easily! They are not even terribly stiff around the ankle.

I love these boots. Very comfortable and will look good with anything. I'm so happy my daughter introduced me to Blundstones.

Of interest. The first pair I ordered came in a plain brown shoebox with nothing inside but the boots. Wish I had taken a pic but had already sent back for an exchange. This second pair came in a Blundstone shoebox with extra inserts, care instructions and warranty info. I sized up 1/2 a size and they fit perfectly! Wondering if the first order was counterfeit???

I think these Blundstones will be awesome when they are the right size. I normally wear a 7.5 and in reading the reviews, they state "true to size" so that's what I ordered. Had to send back. Unfortunately, I ordered them for a trip and the new pair won't arrive in time to take em.

Very nice boots. Originally ordered in 10 but too short and had to return and order 11. Super cute with skinny jeans.
