BL063

Well i like the way they look. They pinch a little bit on the side of my feet in the toe box. That being said I would have kept them if i could get my foot into the boot without ruining the shoe. I don't understand how you're supposed to get a foot into this boot. The neck is so rigid and inflexible. It feels great if you can get the foot through without totally suffocating your foot with your sock. But after 3 attempts i couldn't get my left foot through. They don't seem like they'll keep my feet warm and i don't see how i could get a thick sock through the neck.

I've worn Blundstones for many years, in several styles. None of them have good native arch support - you have to "bring your own" inserts if you need better support, like I do. This means ordering a bit larger and then putting one's own insert in the boot. (I use Superfeet Green a lot.) If you do that, you can end up with a wonderfully supportive boot that will last a long time. My last two pairs each lasted for about 10 years of heavy wearing. In terms of getting one's foot in the boot, I've recently seen a few people say they couldn't get the boot on, including someone's review above mine. It's quite easy to get on, in my opinion, but I suppose it might take a little practice if you're not used to this style of boot. You simply insert a finger in each of the pull tabs, then insert your toes and forefoot into the boot while the boot is at a 90-degree (twisted) angle to how they're going to end up once they're on, then pull the tabs apart, pull the boot on, and twist the boot as you do so. Your foot will slip right in. Some Blundstone boots have a shallower instep than others, like the 1351 and 1630, but the chisel toe boots or "dress boots" (the one I'm writing this review for, plus the 062 and 1306) have a generous instep height. If you have a tall arch and/or tall instep, the chisel toe boots can still work well for you. Just remember to use your own insoles. Overall, I like Blundstone boots a good bit. I find them to be comfortable and I like the style. They do not have a shank (steel, nylon, or otherwise), so I do not personally find them to be good for hikes or even very long city walks, but they're fabulous for day-to-day wear, and the ease of getting them on and off (literally the fastest boots to get on and off I've ever tried in 40 years of boot wearing) is unrivaled. The leather is a good thickness, but they're not a hard leather, so "break in time" is very minimal.

Think about the different widths of men and women's feet and then try to wrap your head around a shoe or boot made to fit both.

Quality materials you'd expect for this price point and for this brand. I ordered 8 wide and feel it is true to size. I have a bunion on one foot and it didn't't feel terrible in the initial try-on and I think it would be perfect after a few wears. I did note the sole wasn't as much of a lug sole as another pair I own.However - another reviewer mentioned this being a unisex shoe and to consider what that means....and I agree. For whatever reason, the shape of the toe box leans more masculine(to me). I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's reminds me a bit of a men's shoe. Not a bad look at all but just not flattering on me. Honestly, even a "woman's" shoe with this shape would not be for me either. Again, it's a quality shoe and the wide width is great but the look leans more masc (to me). As usual, Zappo's return policy is stellar.

The right shoe has leather wrinkled and shaped differently than the left one. Not enough for a return, but not ideal nevertheless.

I love Blundstones. The Style 063 is new for me. I had bought size 13's in the past. I bought size 13 but too long. I have now just purchased size 12 and it fits great.

Based on reviews I sized up, and they were waaaay too big. I think part of the issue is that they have a unisex fit, so they're relatively wide. will be replacing them with a smaller size.

Boots run large.

I have the classic Blundstones and ordered these to try out a "dressier" pair. I did NOT like them. They felt shorter and wider, and they just felt clunkier. Definitely not a step up in style.

LOVE -- once and done boots; sturdy, comfortable, waterproof, dress up (sorta) and casual. I'm a pretty solid 8, but the Blundstone site recommended sizing down in #063 in the wide width, so I got a 7.5 and they fit great. Getting them off and on gets easier as the leather breaks in, but if I had a shoe-horn, I bet it would help.
