Customer Reviews Blondo Valli 2.0 Waterproof

I wear a 9.5 or 10 in shoes, depending on the brand. I recommend that if you are between sizes, you size down -- the 10s were too large. In addition, I ordered wides and mediums to see which would fit better - I can wear either, again depending on the brand and the cut of the shoe. If this is you, I'd recommend to go with the medium -- I found that the mediums fit just fine (in size 9.5) and the wides were too large. I bought both these and the Villa boots. While they are very similar and both cute, I found these Vallis to be more comfortable. The lower shaft of the Villas meant they were less comfortable in the ankle. They were rubbed awkwardly or cut into my ankle (like when I walked up stairs) at times, and unlike the Valli 2.0 there was no padding around the top. I'm sending the Villas back and keeping the Vallis.

I like the style of these boots. The shaft is a bit higher and narrower than the Villa, which I also tried. I am returning them because something about them -- maybe the toe, slightly more upturned, and burnished (on the leather ones), made them look a little too cowboy-boot-ish for my taste.

These are the BEST teacher shoes EVER. I wear them daily and have multiple colors. The support is great, they are "waterproof" for outside duty/car lines etc, the sole is thick and supportive, my feet have never hurt in these! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

The fit is perfect, I'm a size 8.5, this fit perfect. However, these are VERY uncomfortable. The front of the boots rubbed into my skin and by the time I came home I was unable to walk in these boots. It left a red painful mark on my lower leg. What a waste of money. These boots did not work for me. Unfortuantely, I've already used it so can no longer return it.

This is my 4th pair of Blondo booties. I normally wear a size 9 M and that is what I purchased. They are very comfortable and heel height is what i like.....not too high. I have a black suede paid that I purchased last year, and they have held up well.

I bought the mushroom color. Very soft on the inside. Very cute. Never heard of this brand until recently. Usually wear Danskos. Bought 5 1/2 and usually wear 6 narrow. This size fits me and isn't too big around the top even though my calves are super skinny. Love them.

Most comfortable booties I have ever worn! Fit my feet like a glove. First bought black pair, liked so much I bought a second pair in mushroom.

I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 medium, ordered these in 9 medium, due to recommendations in reviews. For comparison, I also ordered the Sam Edelman Petty (in 9.5 medium), and the Naturalizer Zarie (in 9.5 medium). The Blondos were far and away the most comfortable, the leather was softer and they fit the best. The toe box was wide enough for my bunions and the heel was snug enough that my foot didn't slip out. Kept the Blondos, returned the others.

Very comfortable boots!

These were a Christmas gift to my daughter. She requested a size 7 and she said they fit perfectly!

I have a narrow heel and these slipped on my heel. Also heels already had some marks on them which made me concerned they would not last as some other reviewers mentioned.

I've ordered a number of the Blonde Valli over the years. Both for myself and for gifts. It's been a fantastic bootie. But this recent order was a huge disappointment. The suede is usually rich and black This one was grey and chalky. Not even a suede. The feel was like cardboard. The innersole looks different. Are these real Blondo booties? See my photos. I bought the pair on the left a while ago. They are pretty brand new. The suede is rich and soft. I just bought the pair on the right. Do they look comparable? No way.

I have ordered this same bootie many times. The suede has always been great, the fit has always been so comfy. But not this time! This pair feels so narrow. The suede isn't really a suede at all, and looks chalky and light grey. Previous Valli boots have featured a rich black suede. The bootie feels like it's made of cardboard. It is NOT at all same quality bootie I've gotten before. I'm wondering if this is a real Blondo.

Kind of stiff as compared to my 7 year old pair that I love. Looking forward to breaking them in.

These booties are very comfortable and stylish. The color is very neutral and will go with anything. Great booties for the (sale) price!!

Great fit and incredibly comfortable right out of the box. Another model of Blondo did not have this same fit and was returned.

I purchased these after having a pair in a different color for a year. They look nice and are comfortable for moderate walking.

Love, Love, love these shoes. This is my second pair of Blondo shoes. I bought the tan one and loved them so much that I decided to order this pair in the black swede. I ordered a 1/2 size down in the swede then I did with the leather style and they fit perfect. The shoe is stylish and dressy enough to wear to work in the winter. The heel height is not too height and I wore them on a rainy day and my feet stayed dry. Would buy again.

Beautiful Boot. A very nice grey and good quality shoe. Felt true to size and width. Comfortable right out of the box.

Fit was fairly true to size, maybe a slight bit big, but that works for wearing thickish socks. Love the look and feel of these. Who knew that boots could feel like slippers and my feet feel supported! And waterproof to boot!

IMO these run a bit large. I compensate by wearing thick boot socks since the smallest size they come in is a 5. I like the feminine look and they seem comfortable so far. Walked a few miles with them right out of the box. As another reviewer mentioned they do seem to rub a bit across the top of the foot but in my case that might be due to having to wear the thicker socks with them. Overall they are keepers.

I had a pair of Blondo knee high boots years ago and they were very roomy and comfortable. I expected the same in a shorter boot. Unfortunately these felt narrow and the toe box was low and rubbed my toes wrong. Back they go and the search goes on....

Very nice looking shoes. Unfortunately the top of the boot around my ankle is so rigid and tight, there was no way I could keep these shoes. I have never had that happen with booties but it was very tight and uncomfortable and rubbed immediately.

I love the look of these online but I person they seemed to be very low quality. Also the toe is a nice non-slip rubber but the heel is hard and slippery and I almost wiped out trying them on a clean hardwood floor. Really unimpressed.

These boots are very nice looking and a great fit. I got them in black suede and the fact that they are waterproof is an added bonus.
