I wish there were more width options. Especially with most boot styles which must be pulled up over ones instep. I ordered a half size larger, which helps but is not the perfect solution.

I have a narrow heel and after reading the reviews of these boots it sounded like they would fit me well--and they did! They have plenty of width in the ball of the foot, but are narrow enough in the back that my heels do not slide. They were, as mentioned, difficult to get on and off (harder getting off than on), but I imagine that the elastic will relax over time and I will then be grateful that they started off tight.
The Blundstone website says that their boots should fit with 1/4" room in the front. I wear a U.S. size 8 and ordered a size 5, and they fit perfectly. The leather is a rustic grey, but doesn't have that mottled, artificial-look of some of the other styles. The higher ankle will make them great for wearing with tights and skirts, as well as with jeans. The insoles do not offer much in the way of contouring or support, but that works for me.
These feel like sturdy, well-made boots, and I hope they will last a long time!

These boots are indestructible! Last pair lasted 10 years of constant use. They were on my feet when my car caught fire. They melted a little at the toes but they kept going for 4 more years.

I usually wear a 7.5 but I sized up to 8 and they are amazing. I'm SOO thrilled with this purchase. I have healed blundstones but they hurt after a while. These feel absolutely great from day 1. If you get these and it hurts in the toes at all, do not try to break them in. They will not stretch length wise, only width wise. I have very narrow feet and small ankles and they are perfect. A little loose around the ankle but my thick socks make it fine.

I love these boots. I have another pair that I splurged on two years ago and now my feet will only accept Blundstone. These are more gray and matte than my other pair that is black but I really love them. I am a little nervous that the finish will scuff a little more but I am willing to take that chance. These are the boots that come up a bit higher on your ankle. I took a chance and wore them to work right out of the box and they are the most comfortable, sturdy boots. I wear them everywhere and do everything in them except swim :) They are completely worth the investment.

These boots ran small for me - I'm usually 8 or 8.5 and needed a 9 in these. My feet are narrow and long apparently, because my toes were crunched in the 8 and 8.5. Wearing the 9, now that the length is right, I have tons of room in the width and depth dimensions of the boot. I tried them on with an insole from one of my tennis shoes and that felt great, so I'll probably keep them because they're a great blend of sturdy, versatile, weather resistant, and stylish (in a classic way). Only issue is now I think I look a bit like I have clunky clown feet which I don't love.

I wear Blundstone’s in every season and have been a loyal customer for well over a decade. The good: These shoes are very cute and technically comfortable. The meh: Don’t love the tooling near the elastic, but that’s a personal style preference and not enough to keep me from investing in this pair. The unacceptable: I had to call a friend over to get these suckers off! And even HE had trouble. Since I can’t do that every time, they had to go back.

I purchased these in my usual size and the fit is fine. I have a narrow foot so boots are always a challenge, but these have minimal slippage for in the heel. The color is what I was looking for, and these are quality boots.

Disclaimer: I wear a 9.5-10 in women's shoes, feet are narrow to medium width, high arches and instep.
I am so pleased with these boots. After a brief break-in period (moleskin is highly recommended for the fastest break in), I find myself wearing these boots whenever I can. They are comfortable, durable, and they are the cutest work boots I've ever seen. The tooling around the elastic gives them a feminine touch, and I can wear these with almost any outfit.
I'm certain these will last me a long time, and I know they will not be last pair of Blundstones.

Wonderful to walk in with plenty room in the toe box and comfort for all day walking. I wear a 71/2 and ordered a 5 and it fit perfectly. Love it and may order it in a different color.

Just tried on four different pairs of Blundstones at LLBEAN. The only pair that fit my foot well where the Chelsea's in the dark green suede. The black, leather and brown leather felt way too wide and my foot moved around quite a bit. Not so with the Chelsea boot. I have narrow heels and an average forefoot. I was reassured by a couple of employees that they get much easier to take off and on. I really like the way they look and feel!

These are beautiful boots. The color is like velvet. I had to return them because I use an insole and I was not able to use it in this boot. I ordered the original 500 Chelsea boot in gray

I tried the Born similar version of these and returned them, although beautiful, due to being too narrow. These do fit my feet pretty nicely considering that I usually wear "natural splay" tow box shoes when possible. I get many compliments on these and find them helpful for a nice compromise of fashion and function. FYI they don't have any arch support from what I can tell and no additional liner. They took a couple months to break in, so keep that in mind too if you plan to travel or hike in these before you've really broken them in. I added in Moleskin adhesive to the heel area to help with the stiff leather. I found a boot shoehorn helpful to get these on and off especially when new.

I got the gray ones. They are great. Good arch-support and accurate shoe size. Getting off is a bit difficult but for a decent able support, it is worth it.

First pair and I'm hooked. Pearl color is gorgeous, leather holds up great. Even with 1/4" orthotics very roomy and comfortable. If you have foot problems these are great. Getting on and off is a problem at first, I use wine bottles to stretch the sides. I'm a Blundstone convert!

My first pair of Chelsea High Top boots are 5 years old and going strong. Loved this blonde leather as an alternative to my first pair. They fit great and are comfortable and exactly what I expected from Blundstone.

I went up half a size (from 8 to 8.5) as recommended in the reviews and they fit wonderfully! They are a little tough to pull off initially but that will probably get easier as they break in. Amazing quality that I know will last me years.
