Blundstone 500 Series Original Boot - Men's DO NOT USE

Item #BLU0003 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice boots! But...

By Ranked #79 - Men's Casual Shoes November 13, 2008

I have owned these boots for about a month and really like them. They go anywhere and do anything. Very short break in period, comfy too. Nice grippy sole, good ankle support, above average toe protection. Some reviewers stated that the boots run a little small, but I found the opposite. I usually wear a US 12, but had to exchange them for a US 11.5. I decided to go slightly smaller rather than slightly larger, because the boots have no laces and I anticipate that the elastic side panels will stretch a bit over time. One small complaint... The left and right boots seem to have been made from two completely different pieces of leather. The leather in the left boot is very thick and durable, while the leather in the right boot is only about half as thick, showing creases, wear, and breaking in much earlier. Not a deal breaker, but a definitely weird!
