Customer Reviews Blondo Raquel Waterproof

After ordering my usual size 6, the arch of the shoe was too constricting once zipped up. I sized up to a 6.5 and it was bit better (plenty of room for my toes with both 6 and 6.5). I ended up using tennis balls and a hairdryer to stretch the leather so that I could walk more comfortably with socks on. The shoes are truly waterproof, well designed and comfortable – just a warning that high arches might require some stretching.

The shoe is super cute and stylish and the heel to platform ratio with the lug sole make that part really comfortable and the shoe seems to have decent arch support. The shoe was the right length but very tight and narrow across the widest part of my forefoot which made me hesitate on keeping them. I am normally a size 8 or 8 1/2 M. I ordered the size 8 1/2 and the 9 both in Medium. The 9 was way too big in length so sent those back. Decided to keep the 8 1/2 after walking around my home and standing in them for a few hours. Am hoping these will stretch a bit since they are exactly what I am looking for and are a great price compared to similar style boots.

It was a pretty boot but the heel is way thicker than it looks in photos. Not a casual boot. Too much platform-kind of cheesy look versus classic So bummed.

These were very comfortable but I found they looked really clunky & heavy (looking) appearance. I ended up returning them for another style Blondo lug sole bootie.

These have a great quality leather. Very soft and supple. It feels true to size and comfortable.

Perfect boot!

I love Blondo and these are as wonderful as all of my other Blondos. Cute style, very comfy, great tread.

Was too big for me so decided to keep the half size down which was a little tight but fit better than this which felt too big.

I like the height in a comfort shoe

These seem well made, are nice looking, and are pretty comfortable just walking around the house. I really appreciate the platform to heel ratio - you get a good height boost without feeling like you are tottering around. In fact, they are very stable. I only returned because I liked another style a little better.

It's a nice boot. I like the traction on the sole and the suede is really pretty. But the boot is so big and clunky that it's not stylish at all. It's just a big shoe.

These are great looking shoes so I was disappointed they felt tight, even with a thin sock. I wear 9.5 medium width, so they'll fit great if you have a narrow foot. Sadly, I must send them back.

Shoes are very cute and comfy but were much too big for me. Slightly concerned the smaller size won't have enough space for tall feet.

These were SO STIFF! The color is also lighter than in the pictures, much paler grey. The toe box was also super boxy. Might be better after a breaking in period, but I’m not risking it.

very stiff shoe with no support :(

Too small, hard to get my foot into.

I was looking for a water proof, warm boot for a winter vacation in New York City. This boot is cute and stylish which I like but too high for walking all day. It was narrow through the foot and ankle. I could not comfortably wear a warm sock. I wear a 6.5 -7 in most shoes. When I want a slightly larger fit, I get a 7. This was a 7 with no room to spare. My feet tend to be on the wider side. I also purchased the Blondo Dyme waterproof which fits great. No problem with a thicker sock.
