Updated review after 3+ years of daily wear- Durable, stylish, and no laces- best boots ever!
3+ year update- Well, it’s now April 2024 and I’m still wearing the original pair I bought back in Dec 2020. For real. These have been the longest lasting, most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I’m still wearing them every single day. However, they have developed a squeak in both shoes as I walk that I can’t unhear so I’ll probably be buying a new pair and reserving the old ones for yard work and the like. This is most definitely due to years of wear and tear and not a manufacturer issue. I beat the hell out of these shoes.Amazingly, the soles have stayed intact and attached to the leather for over three years of daily use! That’s really impressive! The leather is also still in great shape. I condition them with mink oil now and then and that really refreshes them.So, final thought- Are they comfortable- yes, absolutely. Are they durable? Almost impossibly so. Are they worth the money? Yes, yes, yes.Enjoy yours!2 year update- still going strong! Sole and leather upper show no signs of detaching and I’m still wearing them daily. Just applied a new coat of Obenauffs (see last 2 pics) and they’re good to go hopefully for at least another year!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1+ Year Update-I still really like these boots. They've held up pretty well over the year while wearing them almost daily. I've worn them mostly around town, on light hikes, and through rain, snow, and slush. They have kept my feet dry and in comfort. I appreciate how easy they are to pull on and off while still not really feeling loose like many slip on shoes.These days the elastic on the sides are starting to fray. The tread is wearing down too. The leather has held up remarkably well and there is only slight separation between the leather and the sole on one of the shoes. I'll probably end up buying another pair when these eventually fail me.These are certainly not BIFL, but I don't think any shoes are. They probably aren't made as well as they used to be when they were still made in Australia either, but they're still pretty damn good.______________________________________________________________________________________________I was looking for a pair of boots that could be my go-to multi-purpose easy on, easy off boots and these definitely fit the bill. They're rugged enough to be worn in nasty weather, but also look good enough to pass for business casual. I have a wide toe-box and often have trouble finding wide shoes that fit well. Being slip-ons, I was worried that I would have a lot of heel lift, but this wasn't a problem at all. They're quite tight at first, being almost annoyingly difficult to put on. As you wear them, they loosen up though. Plus, as with most quality leather shoes, the more you wear them, the more comfortable they get.I'll admit, I was initially attracted to them due to their popularity. I will also say that I'm immediately skeptical of products like this because I think some products get swept up into fashion fads and end up being poorly made. Not so with these boots. They're very light-weight but seem to be able to hold up to serious abuse. For those die-hard USA Made or bust folks (respect) but these are not for you. They say Australia all over the packaging and on the pull tabs but are actually made in Vietnam. Still, the quality is high and I expect them to last for a long time, even with lots of abuse.Like all leather boots I buy, I immediately treated them with Obenauf's and I recommend giving them a nice coating of a protective oil once and a while to extend the life of the material.I will update this review if my opinion changes as I continue to wear the boots.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great Boots!!
Was looking for a pair of rustic all around Chelsea boot and came across these blundstones and I’m glad I did. For the money they are awesome, the look,feel have been great so far. They even came with a extra set of insoles to add more comfort or for different foot sizes, I will add though, you do need to wear thick socks with them for about a week or two for the break in period but after that your golden! I really recommend these Chelsea boots!!

Amazing boots, do not pass up!
Love them! These might be my new favorite shoes I’ve ever owned. I got that at an amazing deal DO NOT PASS UP! They are real leather and great quality. The size fits me at a 7.5 US women’s size perfectly. They are totally comfortable and I would wear them everyday with no foot pain.

Bad warranty against defective product
Be careful with sizes and quality. Especially on each shoe because my left shoe arrived smaller than the right shoe because of a defect and I followed the recommendations of broke them in but it never worked and now I can’t get the right size or a replacement. As soon as you fell something weird just replace them before use them. And of course use them inside the house, they can charge you an extra fee for any sign of use and they’ll charge you an extra fee for restock fee if you pass the initial return window. Very bad seller.

Best boots ever made
I've owned 5 pairs of these same boots over the years and will buy another pair after this one dies...and another after those. Best boots ever, period. Comfortable, versatile, convenient, supportive, and attractive. I wear them with khaki slacks to my office job and get lots of compliments on them. Then I leave the office and go walk the dogs or hike in them. Then I wear them while I rebuild my privacy fence. Then I wear them out to dinner with my wife. Then I wear them to roundhouse kick the bad guys who try to hassle us when we leave the restaurant.They can be pricey but worth every bit and then some. I put them through the ringer and get about 4 years out of them, which no other boot I've found has been able to do. They no longer make them in Tasmania, which is a bummer, but the quality is still 95% of what they were then. As long as they keep it up, I'll be a customer for life.

Excellent muck-about boots
I was looking for an easy slip on boot for winter muck that was sturdy but nice looking. These are exactly that. They keep my feet warm schlepping thru the snow but go nicely with casual work attire. I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly with a regular cotton athletic sock. I find them comfortable and supportive for all day wear. My only concern is the solid, one-piece sole that doesn’t look like it can be resoled; that may shorten the life of the boot. We shall see.

My new favorite boot!
These boots are super comfortable to wear all day, are fashionable enough, and rugged. I have had mine for over a few months and they've been great walking in snow and ice as well as casual wear. They do stretch a little as they mold to your foot but stay pretty true to the original size. I have very flat feet and there is enough arch to be comfortable. The color matches the pictures well and looks great with a pair of jeans.
