I now have three pairs of blundstones, the heeled boots, the sneaker boots and these ones. With each new pair I find they all have the same level of quality, fit, detail, and aesthetic. Before I bought my first pair my sister told me they don't stretch at all but that is not true! Get your true size! They are pretty tight when you first get them, and can be difficult to put on and take off, but breaking them in is so worth it! These are going to last forever. So cute, so comfortable and great all weather boots. I wear them in the rain, hiking, walking around town, to church, to the grocery store, to look nice, to look casual. they do it all. (In really heavy rain they may not repell all the water so your feet may get wet as they are not completely waterproof. I think it might be the mesh siding that allows leaking but in normal rain conditions (and I live in the rain capital of the United States so I go out in a lot of rain) they hold up great!) Read more
Due to an ankle injury, my ability to wear boots are very limited. I mainly use Chelsea boots as my main go-tos for daily wear - whether it is the office or milling around somewhere for fun. Since 2017, I have been an avid wearer of Doc Martens. I have loved and walked in many pairs. Currently, I have two pairs of Doc Martens I've been wearing every day (Tempesta and Dorrian) and cycle between them. My one pair (Tempesta) was getting ragged and falling apart after 3 years of consistent use. Especially around the ankle area. Recently, I have tried to replace them multiple times with other similar styles of doc martens. But every pair of casual chelsea docs are **very** heavy, steep decline of quality compared to other pairs I've had, or not my flavor of style. I have a pair of the Embury but they are super heavy and not sustainable for daily wear for me. Mainly use them now with nice warm socks in the winter time. But again, for any other part of the year...not quite what I'm looking for. So...I have been on a journey to find something more lightweight, able to go the distance, and able to be worn at work and play. After researching, I ended up grabbing these to test them out. My package was delivered at 3pm, I put them on and went straight to a Phillies game with them at 4pm. Was it a dumb decision? Maybe. But I was committed. Initial impression: I'm very happy with them. I got my usual size (Womens Size 10). They were perfect. Nice boot silhouette. Not super clunky. Very limited pain. I have chunky calves so I had a temporary bit of pain around my calves where the tops of the boots were, but I have a feeling they will loosen up with wear. Otherwise, no pain. Ended up walking over 2 miles with them around a concrete stadium. Over 2 miles of walking - Between waiting in lines and walking around in crowds - To me, that's insane for leather boots out of the box. I was expecting more pain, but nope! I'm still in the breaking in phase, but slipping them on and off is a little bit of a challenge. But, that's also the caveat of this style of shoe. It has to be tight somewhere to keep the shoe on your foot. I am sure after the break-in process, the leather will loosen up in the ankle area for more convenient slipping into and out of the shoe. These are my first pair so I'm not sure how long they will last. (I'm pretty rough with shoes, to be fair). But hoping to go on many adventures with them :) Definitely my new favorite shoes.

Very nice and worth the price. I wear a 9.5 women’s in US tennis shoes, usually 10 women’s in boots, 8 men’s. I ordered a UK 7 and they fit perfectly. Read more
I wear a US size 6-1/2 to 7, EU 37. I tried on a pair of heeled Blundstones in a shoe store on vacation and the only pair I could get on was a AU size 5. Loved the look but inside the boots were too long. Thus began my long back and forth with Amazon struggling to find the right size and style. I ended up keeping 3 pair: heeled black boots, size 4.5, all terrain, insulated In Rustic brown size 4, and these womens high top in Voltan black, size 4. From day 1 these have been the hardest to get on and off and the most comfortable to wear in any situation. After pulling tendons in both my hands and ankles I got a long handled shoehorn to put them on, and a boot jack to get them off. Both excellent investments if you are seriously considering Blundstone, particularly this style. I never intended to buy 3 pair of boots; I just wanted one nice pair to look feminine and wear everywhere and be easy on and off. This pair didn’t fit the dressier look I wanted, or quick on and off but OMG! they were the most comfortable, almost like wearing slippers, and I kept returning to them over and over. The toe box felt too wide initially but they continued to be unmatched for comfort. I have been wearing them on and off for a month now and they have become my absolute favorites. The ankle area is still snug enough to be a challenge, especially on the right book which I still needed the boot jack to remove. Until yesterday, when I stuck a soup can in that boot and left it there a couple hours. Now both boots feel the same and I can get them off, with some tugging, without using the boot jack. Which means I’ll be able to travel with over the holidays without having to pack a block of wood. And if I have to take the off in the airport I won’t need a chair and a strong man to get them off my feet. I kept the black heeled boots because I do want a dressier style for special occasions but I did have to go up half a size to 4-1/2 because the heels are a much narrower cut and I have a high instep. I also kept the thermal, waterproof with the Vibram sole for cold and icy weather. They are just as comfortable as the high tops, easier to get on and off but also too warm to wear indoors without changing out the shearling insole. Read more
