Original Water Resistant Chelsea Boot

I had a pair of these Blundstones I bought maybe 10 years ago that I wore 3/4 of every year and they fit great, had space for insoles, wore in well, etc. One day the sole finally cracked and I had to replace them. I know Blundstones outsourced a lot of their manufacturing a couple years ago. These new ones are lower quality leather, and they run slightly shorter than before. As a result, after 1 year, "leather" is peeling on the heel, and they're too short for me to comfortably add any insoles or wear thick socks. They're not cheap and I'm quite bummed. Not LLBean's fault of course.

Bought these years ago. Stored in the original box in an everyday bedroom closet. Didn't wear often as I bought them for a transitional shoe between seasons. Took them out one Fall and the bottoms feel apart into pieces. I sent pictures of them and LL Bean refused to give me a refund or credit. They said that is what normally happens to rubber type soles on shoes over many years, worn or not. Too bad, cuz I liked them a lot!

My wife bought her first pair for work seven years ago, they held up well. These boots are long lasting quality.

Good quality. Have to break in but good quality Nice style

Love these boots! True to size, well made, perfectly styled. I have been wearing them for decades - beat up pair for everyday, new pair for dress up! They do not disappoint.

Great everyday shoe for any occasion. Wish L.L bean would offer more of a selection of colors.
