Blundstone Unisex 550 Rugged Lux Boot

Comment

I really like these boots, are quite comfy look nice! They came with one pair of extra soles in case the boots are quite loose or tight, for me, they fitted perfect. I though the colour was more even and I was a bit disappointed to see thay theyre spotted and gives a look of dirty, I mean, I can do by myself if that would save extra bucks. I paid fast shipping and arrived on time, only problem was the packaging came completely broken and tear, fortunately my boots were a bit deformed at the back but nothing serious than squeeze a bit to shape them. I suggest to protect the package way better, next time can damage the product

I enjoy this pair of boots more than any other pair of boots I have previously owned. They fit comfortably on the first few times wearing them. They are also very easy to be broken in and can be utilized as both an everyday wear and as a work boot. I have used them both for slightly fashionable events and on farms volunteering. Not waterproof at the seams but very close to being able to walk through deep puddles in them.

Anyone worried about sizing, just follow the size guide on their website. Im a size 9 in US womens, although I own shoes that are 9.5 so I was a bit worried. However, the recommended size 6 fits perfectly. Theyre comfortable, but they do have a very short break in time. I had to wrap my right pinkie toe in a bandage and wear thin socks for a while. I use the thermal inserts they provide, just because it adds a little bit of a cushion. They are not going to be as warm as fur-lined boots, but they are warmer than sneakers, which was all I was looking for. So far, Ive been wearing these every day for casual wear. Hopefully I can get a few years out of them.

Update Sept 2015 I have changed my review to two stars. These shoes still fit well, and amazingly are just now starting to leak water around the toe, however, the sole of this shoe is terrible. I read reviews about people storing them for long times in their closets and then when they go to put them on after an extended period of time, the sole just falls apart. Well, I wore my boots at work every day, 5 days a week (minus a holiday here and there), they were never stored for any length of time, and when not in use, they lived under my desk in my office. I watched these things fall apart and took pictures of it along the way. Its like the soles are made of two pieces of rubber that are glued together with a similar rubber spackle. This spackle degraded and sloughed off in bits. After only about 6 months of wear, they are now nearly unuseable. I would rate them at 1 start, however, they have a one year warranty. I have contacted them and have been asked to ship them to them, at my expense, so they can determine if it is a manufactures defect, as Im certain it is. I have since learned, IF you register your boots within a (short) amount of time after their purchase, you can get a 2 year extended warranty. Its too bad this offer isnt mentioned with the boots. I question why they would offer such a warranty, unless they were having issues, word of those issues was preventing sales of their product, and it is an attempt to get you to buy their flawed product. These are great. Took me forever to figure out which size to buy. Reading through many reviews I learned that Aussie mens sizes are one size smaller than US mens and half sizes are wide width. Wearing womens 7.5W the 5.5 fit fairly well. They do have a lot of up/down give inside especially in the heel. I removed both insoles and replaced them with my orthotics. The left was tighter than the right, uncomfortably so across the top of my foot (likely my left foot is larger). I crammed a baseball down at the end of the workday in them to stretch them out overnight. Took a few days of doing that but then they were great. Great water tight shoe. I bought more of the sample Nikwax that came with them. It works well with them.

I have a high arch. Because of this, the top of my foot goes up at a significant angle. Because of that, this boot puts a LOT of pressure on top of my foot. I thought they would stretch out a bit, so I kept them, but after months of trying, its still too much pressure; enough to put my foot to sleep if Im sitting down. Fit great in width and length; just not in "slope/height".
