Blundstone Men’s Chelsea Safety Boot

I’ve only had these for 3 months and the leather above the toe area is wearing through already, mostly from kneeling and scuffing the top of the boot. They’re comfortable and it took me a couple weeks the break in but I don’t see them lasting 18 months like my thorogood USA made pair of boots. Disappointed in the leather thickness and quality.

I really love these boots. They are really really comfortable. I am a theatrical electrician and I will wear them for a full work day about 3-4 days a week. They do run a little larger than I expected. I wear a size 13 (US) for every other shoe, and according to this listing a size 12 Australian shoe is equivalent to a 13, so I ordered a size 12. The 12 is a little bigger than other shoes that I wear, but I just over come this by wearing some slightly thicker socks than I usually wear, as these boots are so worth it.

I needed shoes that were both steel toed and electric shock resistant. I don’t like laces, so these boots seemed like the best option. They are by far the most expensive shoes I own but they are worth it. They are exceedingly comfortable and I can wear them indefinitely without discomfort. They are great work boots but I can wear them out too as they are actually pretty nice looking. Since I work in them though I just have to keep the toes in nice condition with boot conditioner and polish

Excellent boots. I work as a manager in a manufacturing plant. I have been looking for steel-toed shoes that are stylish enough to wear in the office or taking customers to dinner, but are durable enough to wear on the plant floor. I can wear these boots anywhere. I have always worn Wolverine Durashocks but was looking for something different that I could lazily slip on/off (no laces). I wanted shoes that looked “professional”, but not so dressy that they looked out of place in the plant. I was hesitant to buy boots online without first trying them on, but I took the plunge and have been pleased. These boots run about a size “small”, just like it says in the description. I usually fluctutate between a 12 – 13 shoe, so I bought a 13 in these and they fit great. Out of the box, they were a little snug across the top of my foot. They were so tight that I was worried I made a mistake buying without first trying them on. But after about four days of wearing them, they broke in great. After about a week, I was forgetting I had them on. The area around the ankle has loosened slightly (making the boots easier to slip on/off), but shows no signs of getting “floppy”. The soles are heavily cushioned (at least more than I am accustomed to), so if you are on your feet all day you will feel like you are walking on air. Speaking of the soles, I have had problems with other boots being “slippery” on the cement floors in my plants. No problem with these boots – good, firm traction when walking in the plant (and no signs yet that the hydraulic fluid I sometimes “step in” has started to compromise the soles). I bought these boots about two months ago, and so far they look almost good as new. I am one of the “desk guys” that is probably easier on my boots than someone turning wrenches all day, but I usually get about a year out of my boots before I need a new pair. Based on what I see so far, I expect these Blundstones to give me at least twice that. If I come across a problem later, I will come back and update this review. If you work in manufacturing, farming, construction, mining, or any other job where you need a comfortable, durable, good-looking pair of work shoes (that also happen to be steel toed) you will like these boots.

Glad I purchased Blundstone boots finally for a lower profile work boot. The hype is justified. A bit surprised to find out they’re made in Vietnam. Day one but I got a good feeling about they’re capacity in a 60hr work week in the field.

Unfortunately this seller sold me a pair that were returned. Scratches and break in spots. Luckily the boots are still very new and will be scuffed up quickly at work anyways.
