Gender Inclusive Black Chelsea Boot

Had a pair years ago, but those took a trip to college with one of my daughters. So glad I purchased another pair. Can’t beat Blunies for comfort, waterproof and great tread in snow or rain. Look great with jeans, pants or skirts. I’m 71, and am very careful with footwear choices. These are perfect!

After stalking Blundstones for a while, I finally pulled the trigger on these, and I'm so glad I did. I read dozens of reviews to determine which size to get, but I ended up going to the store to try them on just to be sure. (FYI, apparently, half sizes in Blundstone don't affect the length, but rather the width of the boot). I'm a true 8, and I ended up buying an 8 in these. They fit perfectly comfortably with thick wool socks and lighter cotton socks alike. They hold up very well in rain and snow, though I did also spray them with a weather protector to make them last even longer. They're perfect for just about any conditions - cold, wet, dry. I'm not sure how I got by without these.

I was going back and forth between these and the Dr. Martens chelsea, but ultimately landed on these and I'm so glad I did. I wear a women's 7 US and these (Aus size 4) fit great right out of the box. But please, do wear some taller socks or tuck in your jeans/leggings until the leather softens. The upper leather piece is initially stiff and has a rough edge that rubbed the back of my legs raw on my first long walk in them.

I love these in every way, except it was difficult to size them correctly. I followed the guides, BUT was unaware of how half sizing worked in AU. Apparently a half size does not change the length, just makes for a wider shoe. So since I’m a true 6.5, the 7 (AU 4) was a better fit.

Although these boots fit great on my foot, the back of them cut painfully across the back of my ankle....sort of like they were slicing it! I did not think I could break them in without some considerable pain and had to return them. Heavy socks made the ankle rub even tighter. So disappointed because they did look like the perfect wintery work boot.

I was pretty confused about the sizing on these boots. I must’ve ordered, then returned, then re-ordered the original size. Stay true to your size! These are insanely comfortable and they were worth all the chaos!

I have had these boots for over 3 months, and the break in period has not ended. The top leather part of the boot compresses my foot quite a bit that I cannot wear these for long. I notice that if I wear them when I am active, the top leather part does not bother me too much, but that is when my ankle starts to blister. I think these boots are beautiful though, and the versatility makes these the break on period worth it. I would recommend these in any color and for comfort.

I am a size 9.5. I ordered a 9.5, which were too small and returned for a 10.5 which are great. I needed the extra width for socks. I have a M width foot. They are hard to get on around the ankle although they should break in a bit there. Hopefully not the ridiculous break in period Docs require. I am hopeful they will be a good all around shoe in different climates.

I didn't do as suggested on the listing, but bought my normal size 8. This size is a smidge too short for my footbed and my big toe on my larger foot felt smooshed. So for me I probably will need to size up 1/2 a size. I have a little larger size 8 foot. Also the ankle was a little tight for me. Perhaps there's some breaking in and stretching that occurs from wearing. Nordstrom shoes salespeople have told me the shoe should feel comfortable the moment you put them on, it shouldn't need "breaking in". Returning and hoping the larger size comes back in stock.

I received my boots today. Very excited. I ordered my size 7.5 and they are true to size.

These are very comfortable shoes. The key is to wear calf/crew socks to avoid irritation from the top of the boot rubbing against your legs when you walk. For reference, I am typically size 7 but ordered 7.5 in these because my feet are wide. Note that the 1/2 sizes do not mean it's longer but actually wider.

These boots are perfect. I thought I would have to break them in but from day one they were perfect. They are bit wide but work with thicker sock. I haven’t rotated these out since I got them!
