Blundstone Classic Chelsea Boots - Unisex

My wife bought these for me. I am always skeptical of new shoes bought online. I have flat feet and have battled with plantar fasciitis so my idea of comfort is different from others. My shoes need padding and support. These are about 9/10 for me on comfort which is very good. I can slide my foot in without having to bend and pull them on and they have good treads. They are definitely not a work boot but they are a great all around fall/winter boot.

These shoes are very comfortable, although they appear slightly long on my feet. Despite this, I wore them hiking and on long walks in the snow, and my feet didn't hurt, even though I occasionally suffer from gout when wearing uncomfortable shoes. They aren't my everyday fashion choice since they make me look like a construction worker when paired with jeans. However, for hiking and activities where you don't want to dirty your good shoes, these are perfect, and they're easy to clean.

I normally wear a 10.5 EE (US sizing). The Blundstone website reccomends ordering a half size up when dealing with wide feet and thusly I did so. When I first tried them on they fit perfectly in the toe box, nicely in the width, but were almost cavernous in regards to the depth. Thankfully, the pair I ordered came with a "Multi-fit" insole that solved that problem and with the addition of a slightly thicker pair of socks I have an ideal fit.As for the boots themselves, these are casual "weathered" style boot that are meant to have some imperfections that will only gain character as they age. Meaning the imperfections along the edge of the top of the sole? Those are intentional. The finish of the exterior is also meant to accrue nicks and dings over time that aren't meant to be filled in with traditional leather polish, invest in some mink oil instead. The leather lining on the interior means putting the boots on and taking the boots off will only get easier as they break in and these boots come with an impressive water resistance from the start.In sum: If you have a wide foot and this is your first introduction to this brand/footbed I'd make certain you order a pair that includes the "Multi-fit" insole. It really improved the fit and feel of the boots. Oh, and please remember that this exterior finish is meant to wear so consider buying some mink oil to properly maintain it.

Absolutely amazingly constructed. Super comfortable and what a great price.

Tried to order twice ow and both times they sent the wrong size and also the first pair looked like the we’re worn and defective. Never again.

I bought this for our son for his birthday, he loves them.

Well made, order larger if you have wide feet...

Boyfriend wears an 11 US, occasionally 10.5 if a brand runs large. He ordered the US 11/UK 10 in these and they fit him perfectly. If you are between sizes, pick the larger size. The back part can sort of rub into your ankle at first but they break in quickly. I own these in the womens version and found they are true to size as well and very comfortable.
