Here is a review of one of my favorite items in my wardrobe! Back when I was debating whether to purchase these boots, I struggled to find many videos made by women and that gave a female perspective on these boots. I also couldn't find any video reviews of the Blundstone Dress Boots -- so here you go! Hopefully it will help you in your boot-buying process.
That’s how I felt when I was looking for blundstone reviews! I’ve only found one woman’s review, but I wanted to know more and see how they’re styled. I got them for Christmas a few months ago and wear them almost everyday!
So glad I'm not alone! Glad you're enjoying yours--same here!
Awesome review and thanks for sharing big love from Australia 😊😊😊
Do you happen to have the style number of your Blundstone dress boot?
The background music is too loud
Check out Patricia on A Small Wardrobe, she did a great review on them
Awesome!!
I know exactly what you mean! When I knew that I wanted Blundstone boots - because they were recommended by Rose Anvil here on RUclips - there was not much female perspective to guide me in terms of sizing, comfort and styling. I have a minimal, androgynous wardrobe so that was why I chose the dress boot in black.
Here are my takes from owning a pair of dress boots for about 3 months now:
1. I did have to size down in mine... I am a true, narrow EU 38/UK 5/US 7 and I had to get an EU 37/UK 4/US 6.
2. They do make my feet sweat A LOT when worn for an extended amount of time. I think the leather is just too thick which makes them “non breathable”. So these would not make great summer boots. Which is a bummer.
3. They are very, very comfortable.
4. I would still recommend them. They are an investment and a true wardrobe staple.
Thanks so much for adding your experience with the boots! And glad I'm not alone in my reaction about a lack of female perspective on these :)
Thank you for this review! I also struggled with the fact that there are no videos from a woman's perspective about these boots, even though a lot of women wear them. In fact, I see more women wear them than men, but I guess women just don't care about making videos on something like this lol.
I got the classics and I actually hated them because the shape and sizing just doesn't go with my foot. I've always been been an US 8 in everything, and yet the AUS 5 (US 8, supposedly) was a little too short for me, but the US 9 was gigantic in both length and width. Also, one one of the shoes in size 8 would be tight width wise and the other one would be normal. This is an issue with the consistency of their sizing because I got multiple 8 pairs to test, and it always alternated as to which side felt tight... So I gave up on that style and I just ordered the dress ones because I hear those fit a little longer. But I am worried because I have thick ankles, so I don't know how that's going to work...
Hi! Very good review. I've been using Blundstones for years, and I use a shoehorn, when putting them on. I think it's better for both boots and back 😘
Thankyou for your review. I too put considerable research into most purchases. I did purchase these boots last year and was so pleased with everything about them I purchased a pair for my daughter too. I love them. I was very surprised with how comfortable they were right out of the box. I definitely recommend!
So glad you had a good experience with them, too! :)
I’m always dressed up because I exist and dressing up makes me feel good. I don’t need a special occasion to dress up. I love my blundstone “ women’s heel” btw 😊😊😊😊. Gorgeous boots. That little heel is just Perfect.
music louder than your voice made it difficult to hear. love my blundstones too.
Thank you for making this. It was really helpful in making my decision.
I'm a man and I bought the "Dress Chelsea Boots Adulte 1306", I recommand one size to one size and a half down, they are just perfects and suit as well a woman as a man. They do look chunky not like your usual chelsea boots, but you feel that it's a long-lasting item. Only small complain that I have for now (1 week of use), is that the back of my heel is rubbing against the back of the boots what is unpleasant (for long walks), but I think that's only because my socks are too thin, so I can recommand wearing two socks or thicker ones!
As a minimalist, I loved your perspective on the boots. I recently bought the rustic brown lace up boots and love them. I'm now going to buy the black dress boot. I'm an Aussie and will be heading to Tasmania where they are based in a couple of weeks.
Awesome review thank you for sharing, from Australia 🇦🇺
Aw thanks!
Hi and thanks for the video! Can you share the number of the shoes please, the link you put under another comment doesn’t work depending on the county.
My daughter wants these. I checked the link and they were $ 189,now 1 day later,m they are $219!!!! Really?! Scam much?!!!!!
Hi, I just started watching your channel in the last few days from here in Hobart Tasmania Australia and decided to start with your older videos. What a nice surprise to see this review of what we affectionately call “Blunnies” which are from Hobart!
Just got mine because of this review ❤ thanks super helpful! I wasn’t looking for big scientific boot comparisons with other brands of boots like lots of reviews were doing but Your talk about like everyday wear and how they style is perfect and what I wanted to see too! And the fact you tried a few styles of Blundstone helped me pick this style. I was having a hard time picking I’m the same in that I spend so long researching stuff before buying lol this video drastically cut that time down
Did you find the shaft of the boot was higher than the classic? I have the classic and want to get the dress, but had read somewhere it was higher on the leg
I really value and appreciate the perspective you provided in this video! I was wondering now that it’s been several months since this was posted if you still have the same feelings about the boots or if you would do anything differently now.
Love this review. I have had blundstones on my list to get and plan to ask for them for my birthday
You honestly spoke my thoughts! The heel are laid back but feminine enough for my usual outfits 😊
Do you happen to have a link to this exact pair? I’ love your video and think I’m going to get a pair for my (40th!) birthday and am a little overwhelmed by all the models on the site. ❤️
It is the 063 “dress black” but I think it’s discontinued. The new one is called 068 and the only difference I can see is that the current version has a tan lining vs a black lining like the one in this video
@Ville Yes, and I have worn them every day since I got them. Very happy!
@@orlog3343 thank you!!
Really really useful review!!
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought the high tops for women and love them. Ridiculously hard to put on and take off at first, but just in the first day I'm already able to walk a mile to the store and back, and take them off with relative ease. I ordered my true size and they're just right. I wear 3/4 orthotics without issue at all. I'm a fan for life.
love these and have a pr myself! My husband hates them on me though lol! I work in a small city and have to walk and need sturdy solid footwear for walking to and from my office on brick and cobblestone and these are perfect!
Hi... do you need to treat the shoes or apply wax or leather conditioner every now and then? Also is it waterproof resistant?
I know you did this video to give a female perspective but as a male I also found it useful. There are very few reviews of the dress boots either gender. I'm looking at getting a dark brown pair as well as a black pair. I wanted to see them against jeans and thanks to your video I did. I started off looking at RM Williams boots but soon discovered that the price tag was ridiculous $1000 and my goodness they are so uncomfortable. I tried on blundstone dress boots and wow they were so comfortable, no wearing in. And the price AU $159 compared to AU$1000 why wouldn't you buy these. Thanks for the video.
I love your perspective. The music got a lil too loud there though
I'm gong to Hamburg Germany in September. Anticipating rain here and there, so I ordered these for my trip. What I wanted was a boot that I could wear in all weather, and these are them! Thanks for your video!
Planning the same but this year. Can I ask how they were for your trip?
What series are these from?
This was really helpful, thanks!
Wondering how you found them in the rain? I'm on the website and it doesn't say much about water protection for this this style of Blundstone. Thanks!
They're completely waterproof, especially the kip leather ones. The rustics and crazy horse ones are more suede looking, they're still waterproof but will show the water more than the others. I live in the PNW and wear mine exclusively in the winter, never felt a drop
I’ve been wanting blundstones for 2-4 years now, I ended up buying a pair of doc marten work boots instead, because they were on sale for only 80$ and have worn them everyday straight for about three years now. This video, especially the parts when I can see you walking in them has made me decide on this style, they look the most like my docs but a bit fancier which I love. I am a true 6 1/2 woman’s leaning on the wider side, I’ve considered driving 20 minutes away to boot barn to see if I can try some on before I make this investment, does anybody know if boot barn has blundstones or of any other places that might carry them?
I wouldn’t say I’ve ever seen them at boot barn. I know REI has them
Thank you I’ve been debating which style and size I’m also a 6 and with a wide foot but I didn’t want them to stretch out and be too big on me.
Hi, did your boots stretch in length? I’m between sizes (8 feels too loose, but in a 7.5 my toes hit the front of the boot just a bit) it’s and the decision is killing me. Thank you :)
This is my situation as well:/
I have this exact problem as well. What size did you end up getting? I got a size 5, but I'm not sure if i should exchange them for a 4.5?
The leather will stretch over your foot but the length won't really change. You generally want them to feel kinda tight around your foot when you first get them because over the first 1-2 months they'll loosen but I wouldn't recommend starting with your toes hitting the end. Which is exactly what she explained in the video
Boots will never stretch in length, only in width by a few millimetres. Extra insoles can make a loose fitting shoe better, blundstone always gives an extra insole for this reason
Oh, Alin, the background music isn't working. Can hardly hear you.
I love my blundstone boots! I have two pair now - the first pair are the classic brown, round toe and are 7.5 years old! They are still in great shape and I wear them regularly! The second pair are the same boots you feature in this video! I invested in these because I wanted something a little more dressy to wear to the office and knew they were reliable.
One tip for cold toes is to buy the sheepskin insoles for winter! You just swap out the current insole with the sheepskin in colder months. To be honest I leave them in year round and am going to buy a second set of insoles for my dress boot.
Hi, if you should chose between the classic and the dress one, which one would you recomend?
@@3dstudiomaxtutoriales23 I personally prefer the look of the square toe more but still end up wearing my round toe the most! I think that’s just because they are older and more broken in. You will definitely want to try them on before buying though because the styles fit differently!
@@emilypayne5241 I am also trying to decide between those two. Which one would you say is more foot shaped (less chance of getting blisters etc). I am used to wearing barefoot shoes but need something with a heel for riding but want something as much of a natural footshape as possible ..
@@kristinweaver6481 I think the round toe is more natural!
@Ville if they do, it’s not the shoes fault. It’s your feets! This is coming from someone who used to have horrid chronic smelly feet
I don’t have wide feet but I bought the half size for extra room because it was way too tight on the top of my foot, like you mentioned you experienced too.
Elin ... do your Blundstone's have a model number?
Where are the socks you’re wearing from? Are they comfortable or “slippy” in the boot?
I believe they are "Field4U" socks! And they're comfortable to me! :)
You made me purchase these boots off of Zappos. I was debating between other styles but I went with the dress boots
What number are they? Are they the 153? Thanks.
Not the 153s... They're these ones at the following link: www.backcountry.com/blundstone-dress-series-boot-womens?CMP_SKU=BLU000W&MER=0406&skid=BLU000W-BK-USS10UKS7&mr:trackingCode=6A007CB2-35FC-E911-8111-005056944E17&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=c&mr:adType=plaonline&iv_=__iv_p_1_g_46024046046_c_225815088716_w_aud-760609548469:pla-563043299515_n_g_d_c_v__l__t__r__x_pla_y_7811_f_online_o_BLU000W-BK-USS10UKS7_z_US_i_en_j_563043299515_s__e__h_9019658_ii__vi__&CMP_ID=PLA_GOc001&Google&PLA&k_clickid=_k_CjwKCAiAjp6BBhAIEiwAkO9Wun9I4xwVH1r6dZ12lbQssQmiZSZko4s_AXQgFMwRB8yDVGnZ8NSwkRoCQ3EQAvD_BwE_k_&:pla-563043299515_dev-c_ext-_prd-BLU000W-BK-USS10UKS7&gclid=CjwKCAiAjp6BBhAIEiwAkO9Wun9I4xwVH1r6dZ12lbQssQmiZSZko4s_AXQgFMwRB8yDVGnZ8NSwkRoCQ3EQAvD_BwE
music louder than your voice made it difficult to hear. love my blundstones too.
@@ElinLesser which number are they? I can’t access Backcountry links as I’m outside the US. :( thank you!
@@Farmkisss #063 :)
@@abbeyheaton1946 thank you so much! :)
Yes they rubbed the top of my foot because of my high arches such a bummer
Do blundstone need to break in? I don’t want to get blisters on the heels
the minnesota accent gets stronger as the video goes on :)
I got mine 2 months ago I wear my classic Blunnies since them everyday and I'm soo in love with them 😍
Buy the leather lined ones, they are so much better.
New subscriber, and so glad I found your channel.
I've been using Redback boots for many consecutive years, which are way less dress-appropriated yet amazingly comfortable. After my latest pairs' outer sole giving in, I searched for the next boots that could spoil my feet and even considered laced boots. Well, two midnights ago, I decided to order the Blundstone 558 in black and I'm actually excited to try them out after owning my first and last pair of Blundstones 12 years ago!😆 Loved your review, your honesty and simplicity! Really enjoyed your video and music! 👍🏼
I’m a Nike size 6.5. What size do you recommend for a Blundstone?
Would this work for formal settings? I'm a teacher, so I walk and stand a lot; I'm looking for a shoe that can keep me comfortable, but still stylish and appropriate for a work setting.
Depends on your school, my roommate is a teacher and wear hers to school but it's not a super formal school. As long as your school isn't super fancy/formal them yes they'll be fine especially if they're in black or the dress style
Blundstone has a dress boot?!
I have a pair of the men's dress boots---"Beatles' boots"
Hi! Your video helped me a lot. I've been using my Blunnies for 3 weeks now. And it's a wonder! 😍 I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I used it during my recent Baltimore and NYC trip. I had to walk for more than 12 hours and my feet never hurt. I didn't need to break in the boots prior to my trip. I also have knee problems and it didn't bother them while using the boots.
If you are watching this YT video and wondering if you should buy a pair, I say yes go ahead. It's worth the money. I've watched a lot of videos talking about the cons of this brand. Hmmmm! I think, the pros outweighs the negatives.
You got this same model?
I assume these are a US brand? I have gone for a similar boot from Dubarry, a company from Ireland, I’m in the U.K.
Australian
Is this 068? Thank u
How is the cushion on feet? Do you feel the squish? Looking for a boot that has that soft Adidas boost-like feel. Thanks.
You might like Merrell Andover or Merrell Haven for the squish. But I'm wearing my Blundstone high tops for the first time today and they are very very comfy. I have really sensitive feet too.
Really helpful review, thank you! Doubt: are the "dress" and the "chisel toe" the same model?
Yes they are the exact same
@@orlog3343 thank you!
Not sure if I missed in the vid but are these snug?
She said they're slightly snug width wise at first but they stretched overtime
This helped a lot! Thanks!
I am a true US size 6 and desperately want the black dress boots. However, I know I would need to size down and size 6 is the smallest size they make.😭😭😭
Hi, I just wanted to let ya know that Blundstone also offers “youth” sizing where you can buy smaller sizes :) I’m a 6.5 so I’d have to size down too and I think I’m gonna have to go for youth sizes if I want these.
@@Heenanveenan thank you. I bought some Keens that are so much more comfortable and nicer looking. Thanks so much!
@@christinal.suarez1838 keens look so nice! I’m glad you found a pair you like, they look cute from photos I could find! I just bought the Blundstones in a 4 “youth” men’s so here’s to hoping they fit ok🤞🏽
Thank you for this review! Have you done any long walks in these? I'm wondering if they are as good for long walks as the classic regular round toe ones? I'm thinking about purchasing these for a trip to Europe in the Spring and will be doing tons of walking.
My mom has the dress ones and has done lots of walking in them with no issues, I think they'd be perfect for Europe
@Ville ??
@Ville your comment came across pretty sarcastic since it was pretty clear from my comment that I do indeed have Blundstones. My whole family does. I have the rounded toe ones though. My mom has the square toe

Pro tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
Hai,Iam your new subscriber.Home tour please .we would love to know more about yourself...
Please consider Blundstones vegan option. They are very well made. And look like the original. Very comfortable too.
You mean plastic? Ew.
@@missmayflower they look and feel just like the leather version. The material is soft and is not your typical vegan shoe. Read about it.
chunk @@starspangledwinner
Im sorry but those are not dress boots
The style name is literally "dress"..
Not made to be resoled. 👎👎👎
It depends on which model you get the #153 can be resoled
Lmfao why do you sound so sad it’s supposed to be a review
They look great. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion.
the music is just a little too loud esp when you speak, thanks for the review from a female prospective. i didnt even realize we were lacking that until your vid lol
