Customer Reviews Blundstone BL1448 High-Top Chelsea Boot

This is my 3rd pair of Blundstone's. My first two were the standard unisex style, which was great but a little casual looking, so I never considered them suitable for more professional looks (I have a lot of flexibility but maybe not quite that much). These have a ever so slightly more fitted toe box and higher sides which edges them into more professional - at least for academia. Yay! These are just as comfortable as the other blunnies I've owned so I am happy. One thing worth noting is that I'm between an 8.5 and 9. I tried the size that matches 8.5 (5.5 Austrailian) and they were just too small, so I went with the next size up and they are perfect!

This boot is super comfortable and fits very well. My feet are on the wider side and these fit perfectly with no over hang or pinching. Probably the most comfortable pair of boots that I own with minimal "breaking in" required. The opening of the boot fits snuggly so they work well with leggings and skinny jeans. Would totally buy another pair in a different color!! Totally my new staple boot. Can be worn casually and I have worn them with a dress and leggings too!

Very stiff boot. Too tight around the ankle! Ouch! I own several pairs of Blundstone boots and these were the worst fitting!

Perfect. I wanted something easy to slip on to run out the door during fall/winter weather. At first they were a little tough to get on/off but they stretch after a couple wears and have nicely conformed to my foot. I always wear with boot socks, otherwise they may rub the shins a little without a buffer. Very cute, I get lots of compliments on them when I wear with leggings or jeans. They are my go-to for an everyday sturdy boot in yucky or nice weather. Well worth the money in my opinion.

This was a gift for my granddaughter who is going off to college. Fingers crossed for no Covid at Bennington. She is in love with the boots. The exchange was painless.

I love how the shoes fits and the height makes it so the loops don’t get hooked on my pants.

I exchanged the regular Chelsea boots for these high tops, and I just love the way theses look and fit! I have very slender ankles and calves, so most boots look silly on me and feel unstable. But these high tops fit perfectly and are very flattering. I bought them in both rustic brown and black, sprayed on Kiwi Waterproofer as soon as I got them, and they are doing great when I walk my dog in the snow and slush. Except for when the snow is really deep, I will wear them every day. They are incredibly comfortable and provide good support. I swear I could even wear them running! I’ve never had boots that are so functional AND look so stylish with both casual and dressier outfits.

I work in film & television production, so on my feet out in the field all day - +12 per day. These boots are perfect for protection, comfort, and road warrior style. Will most definitely add to the collection as soon as my size is avail in the camel suede.

Really wanted some Blundstones as a versatile casual winter shoe, but just could not get the fit right. I have a narrow foot usually a size 9.5 or 10 depending on brand/style, the AU 6.5 was too snug and the AU 7 was way too big- made it look like I borrowed Frankenstein's boots! Also should mention that these are more narrow than the men's styles and noticeably taller.

This is the first time I've tried Blundstones and the high top version were very hard to get on. I guess everyone says this. Just in the short time I tried them on around the house they did get more comfortable. I decided to exchange for the next half size up because when I walked more assertively my toes touched the ends inside. Otherwise, they feel and look amazing. I have terrible feet and when I put my 3/4 orthotics in they felt like I could walk all day long. I'm hoping now that the half size isn't too sloppy though. I'm a typical 9.5 but hoping a 10 is the ticket! Otherwise, I will try some of the other styles of this brand because the quality is excellent. Comparable to La Canadienne in my opinion.

I love these boots so much. I was looking for an every day boot I could wear to work as well as walk around the city all day. I originally ordered a size 8 because that's usually the size I wear in boots. When I received them they fit well, but I knew after a while they would stretch out a bit with wear. So I returned and got a 7.5. At first they were pretty tight, especially around the ankles/calves since they are the higher cut. After about a month of continuous wear I finally broke them in. I've had them about two months now and I rarely wear any other shoe at this point. Very happy with them (:

These boots fit perfectly right out of the box. Based on other reviews I expected to have to break them in, not so for me. I paired with smart wool boot socks and went for a five mile trek in them day 1 with no issues. The style is cute which lends to jeans, leggings and even dresses. Very happy with this purchase.

LOVE these boots! They felt a tiny bit stiff, right at first, but that went away within an hour of wearing them. They are super comfortable, and completely badass-looking. My husband immediately said "Wow! Those are kickass!!" ... and then later, when I was getting my hair cut, my stylist was admiring my pants/boots combination, exclaiming "Blunies! I had a pair of those that I wore for YEARS!" Anyway, very happy to finally have a pair of Blundstones. They are total keepers.

Granted, I literally just received these BUT I’ve been wearing them around the house and they feel super comfortable. Putting them on is a little tight but I’m sure with time the elastic will stretch and become easier. Keeping them! Love them!

I was hesitant to order these boots in my normal size because several reviews said they run small. Fortunately, the boots fit perfectly and I'm delighted with them. They rub against my ankles a bit and left a mark the first time I wore them, but I expect this problem will diminish over time. Quality seems very high and I look forward to wearing them.

These boots are beautiful but the toe box was too wide for my feet. I ordered a different style in black that will better suit my narrow feet.

These are the best shoes I’ve ever purchased!!

It actually took me a few months to try these boots. Upon receiving them, I was on the fence, however once I eventually gave these a try, I fell in love. Comfortable to walk and stand in for hours, very well-made, and once you've waterproofed them (which is a pretty easy process, and the only tricky bit for me was trying to avoid a wax buildup in the decorative perforation by the elastic), they are perfect for all kinds of weather. I've worn them in the rain/snow/slush without problem. With heavy socks, they're perfect for winter. While they're definitely a more casual style, I've worn them with dresses and skirts. I took my usual size in these boots, and they fit nicely, with room for thicker socks, but not so much that a thinner pair has my foot sliding around. It did take a few wears to break them in, but even at the beginning they weren't uncomfortable.

These were nice looking, but the circumference around the ankle was SO tight (and I have slim ankles). I had to have my husband pull it off and although we were laughing at the time, I was afraid he was going to break my ankle! I guess they'd stretch out with wear but I don't think I could have worn them long enough to stretch out. Are they supposed to fit this way?

I have loved blundstones for years, but this style absolutely didn’t fit. I tried my usual size (9) and they were way too big, but in the 8.5 my toe was hitting the end. These are beautiful and practical, and I’m bummed that they didn’t work for me:

Darling shoe. Comfortable right out of the box. I wear an 8.5 or a 9. I ordered an 9. Fits perfectly.

So I own the Blundstone’s with a heel and love them and wanted a flat pair of Chelsea style boots. I was deciding between these and a pair of Born’s, and to be perfectly honest, the Born’s were way more comfortable and waterproof. However, I totally love how narrow the Blundstones’s are in the ankles and how stylish and flattering they look on my feet. I also tried the lower 500 series of Blundstone and felt as though they all looked like clown shoes. The higher pair looked better on me. I’m a size 8 and am thin with long legs. I also want to mention that on the first day they felt stiff and I did blister so I’m not sure if I will regret my decision later on. If dig the Blundstone style, keep trying them until you find the right one for you. They are rad.

Comfortable and nice looking boot. My sister has an older Blundstone boot which I find "cooler" looking, but this is ok. I ordered this boot because it is specifically for women and not as wide. AU size 4 fit my narrow 7.5 foot with an added insole.

This boot is made so that snow/mud doesn't fall down into the boot. Perfectly snug at the ankle. And actually very comfortable. BUT... impossible to take off! Do not purchase unless you have a boot pull in your home!

I really wanted to keep it but it was difficult to take off. Other than that, I would have kept it. A beautiful and quality boots.
