Customer Reviews Blondo Samara Waterproof

I bought the 9.5 medium in taupe. As another reviewer noted, only one zipper functions. Sizing is off for Blondo in this shoe. I have size 9 Blondos from prior seasons and I tried another one of their styles in a 9.5 and they all fit perfectly. This particular boot is off in width and length. I need to order up to a size 10. I also need to point out that the front of the shoe is extremely narrow. This suits me well as I am a 9.5 AA (true narrow) width. Medium and wide feet you have been warned. Manufacturers need to do a better job of sizing shoes. Also, shoes need to be offered in widths. There is not a universal width and it makes it extremely frustrating to try and buy shoes. I appreciate the generous return policy with zappos. In fact, I exclusively buy shoes from zappos.

Oh, how I wanted these beautiful, waterproof boots to work! I usually wear an 8.5, but I followed everyone's advice and order a 9. But that was too big -- it kept slipping off my heel (cue blisters!) and felt extra roomy overall. So I returned the 9s and ordered an 8.5. But those were waaay too tight in the toes and felt cramped in the heel, too. What's going on? The "9" was probably a least a full size bigger than the "8.5." Sigh. Back they all go.

I ordered a 6M off of blondo.com, and it was too narrow for me, so I ordered a 6W off of Zappos (different color) because they were sold out on the blondo website. When I received them, the same Samara style in a different color and width from Zappos was noticeably shorter than the 6M from blondo.com and much narrower! Something is clearly off with the sizing. A nice looking shoe, but inconsistent sizing and I will be returning.

As others noted, this shoe runs a bit smaller and narrower than the other Blondo boots I own. I've worn 8 regular (though I generally have wide feet) without issue in other styles - I'm going to try and 8.5 but I don't know if the increase in size will help enough with the width. But grateful for fast shipping and easy returns to try different options quickly!

Other 5.5 Blondo boots fit me, but these ones were really tight & narrow.

Color was not as pictured or described. Looked light gray instead of dark taupe.

Not the usual Blondo. This shoe was so stiff and narrow that I could barely get my foot inside. I have two other pair I love but these returned. Really disappointed.

Nice bots. Seems a bit smaller than normal sizing. Also very stiff. My other Blondos are more comfortable.

I was nervous to try these after seeing some of the other reviews, but I ordered up a half size and I love them! Very cute, very comfortable. I try to take a long walk a few times a week and I have worn these and had no issues. I really like that they are sturdy for outdoor wear, but still look professional.

I don't have narrow heels, but the heel on these was too loose. Otherwise, a nice boot.

I really wanted to like these boots. I had other Blondos in the past that I wore often but these were too tight in the metatarsal and toe area for me so I had to return them.

The boots are great, just the right heel height and color but they fit like a Medium width

Really narrow shoe! Stiff and no way my foot would fit in the wide width.

I am very disappointed with these boots. I purchased them because I love my Blondo Valli 2.0 Waterproof Bootie (Women) (Nordstrom Exclusive) and wanted a back up for when they wore out. After 1 wearing the paint was rubbed off the cheap plastic heel. The quality is not the same.

Length good width narrow

Blondo makes the best boots truly comfortable and waterproof.

Pretty boots but I usually wear a 9 and the 9.5 was short and I couldn't get my foot into the 9. There is a zipper on the outside of the boot that is fake. My size 9 boots that are this brand have 2 working zippers and I don't have any trouble getting them on. I am disappointed.

Beautiful boot but the toe was too narrow for my foot

This is my first time trying the Blondo brand, so I hope this boot proves to be durable and waterproof as advertised. But so far I am in love with the fit and style! The color is a rich dark brown and the stacked heel and slightly lug sole are super stylish. I typically wear comfort brands but I wore these for 6-8 hours on the first day and was fine. (Rest assured these don’t look “comfort brand.”)

Fits as expected and is comfortable.

Love it! I have narrow feet and these look and feel fab!

Very comfortable boot. I usually wear the 8.5 Blondo but needed to size up. It's slightly loose but overall comfortable.

I am really happy with my new shoes will definitely buy another color in the future.

I wear size 6.5 in all other boots and even my last pair of Blondos, but this 6.5 was too tight.

Just as comfortable as the other Blondo boots I have
