My first pair of Blundstones - and now have a 2nd pair. First boot I can remember loving right away! I went shopping for 2 hours and never thought about my feet in new boots. It never happens. I take a size 8 and a perfect size 8 came.

This is my 3rd (maybe 4th?) pair of these. I always ordered a 43 before, that size wasn't listed so I ordered a mens 11. What I got was a size 10 - they fit but they are a little tighter than i'd like. They may go back.

Fit perfectly right out of the box. No break in time needed. I reach for these every single day. I have purchased them in another color now because I love them so much. I put a sheepskin, wooly, fleecy insole in for the winter and they feel nice and warm.

I bought these so I'd have a comfortable, attractive pair of winter shoes, but I have worn them 2 of the last 3 days since receiving them. They win on both counts. The included sample of Nikwax is ample for treating them. For those who don't know, Nikwax is an outstanding product. I didn't need the package, but hey - Thanks. Anyway, I'm sure they'll be waterproof now; yet they breathe like a good leather shoe should.

I definitely appreciate the high quality lining. I think without the lining, the comfort would suffer. The uppers are first rate. No blemishes on large stretches of attractive leather.

I wouldn't worry about the sole issues so many wrote about. Yes they say to keep them in an air conditioned building, but that's true for any of the soles that use this material. The plus side is durability and cushioning.

Sizing and fit were perfect. I'm in between a US 11.5 & 12. The Aussie size 11 is great. They might be a bit loose if you're wearing dress socks, but with a pair of cotton gym socks or my Smartwools - that's living.

I have been a fan of blundstone boots for a long time! They are super comfortable and will last you 20 years! Duane Shoes is the place to buy all your blundstone and shoe needs day had the best customer service of any vendor I've come across because my first pair had a defect in the insole which was nothing to do with Duane Shoes it was in the manufacturing but they were more than nice about refunding my money and letting me order another pair to make sure that I got the right size style and color in fact I'm ordering another pair from them one because I love blundstones but the reason I'm buying from Duane Shoes on Amazon again is because they treated me like a valued customer and not just a number or just a sale! My printer broke and they went out of their way to mail me a return label along with their professionalism knowledge of the product and above all else they were concerned that I was happy and satisfied over them just making a sale! they have created a loyal customer in me and with their other customers because that's what keeps a business going is satisfied loyal customers because they continue to come back to that dealer / vendor / seller! With all the choices available online and on Amazon I highly recommend you shop with Amazon and for all your shoe needs shop at Duane Shoes! I am not related employed are compensated for this review it's just I was treated so incredibly well that I have bought two pair of blundstones from them and I'm fixing to get another one! I have the thermal series which is waterproof and has a removable shearling footbed it also comes with a dinner in Seoul and they have a sport and so that you can get as well for the non winter months. I am just over the moon for the new blundstone 550 in the color blueberry! I also want the black pair with the red soles next!
