Blundstone BL179 Work Chelsea Boot

Cant understate how comfy these boots are but not the durability one looks for. But the other boots out there aren't much better. I work as a framing and foundation carpenter in Hawaii it's all sharp rock so take it with a grain of salt. I found the soles always wear out faster but never had a hole in the leather. Its been a wonderfully grippy shoe when working on a roof. Never slipped and that is worth it. The leather does wear weird on toe cap but you use some tuff toe and that would fix it easy. On Second pair - probably gonna buy again. Made in Vietnam.Edit 2/5/23 4starsContacted Blundstone directly and they are sending a new replacement pair. Very happy about that.

Love these boots. Very comfortable and protective. Good toe room. Just replaced due to worn out sole after 7 years of use. Top and inside are still great.

Alrighty. So. I have been in search of a good quality work boot as I work in a kitchen, and I find that women’s work boots are 1 difficult to come by and 2 often crazy narrow. I’ve got a wide foot, so I turned to a men’s boot. Blundstone came highly recommended! I looked at a few types and styles and brands of boots but finally settled on this one. First pair I ordered was too small so I returned them and exchanged them for a size up. Initially they felt good but I soon realized the toe box is too small. It irritates my baby toes on both feet and my toes go numb from being so cramped! As I mentioned, I work in a kitchen so a slip resistant shoe is key for me, these boots were listed as being slip resistant just like any work boot/safety shoe/kitchen shoe. Well that’s proven false very quickly. If I even step on a slightly damp surface I slid. I’ve escape two large falls so far, but I’ve never slipped so much in a work shoe before at all. I really wanted to love these boots because look at the heckin price! I might try to resell these online since they’re gently used at this point, but they are just not working out for me.

Fantastic boot

Blundstones are the most confortable boots i ever own, its my third pair of blunnies.For some reasons, they are light,durable,wide and you feel like wearing a pair slippers.I bought my first pair in Australia, the 990 steel toe, they still in good shape after two years, the sole is worn out due of my industrial job environment.These 179, will be also super comfortable, i know it! they feels as comfortable as soon as i tried them fresh from the boxI'm a service technician working on packaging machine so i stay up for about 60-70 hours a week with them on concrete floor, and no problems at all.I also own a pair 550 with the leather liner, soft toe and also super comfortable.The funny thing about blundstone is that model never change since they started to make it in 1800's

I have been buying this work boot for years at Zappos and this is the first time I got it on Amazon. The price was right and the boot is just what I need and like. I decided a long time ago laces were a hassle and would hang up on things which created a trip hazard. These boots are durable, comfortable, easy on and off, plus they are ANSI rated.

I am a die caster, I ladle molten metal into a machine all day and need boots that can slip off in a hurry if need be. These boots are comfortable and lightweight and the top seems real durable. the soles however melt like crazy when they come into contact with something real hot. I've never had boots whose soles melted so easily.They are pretty slippery on oil as well. Having said that however i'm just more careful where I step. Even with the drawbacks because they are well made, light and comfortable I would buy these again.

I am a young woman who works in manufacturing. I have problems with my feet (no arch at all they are so flat and bunions) and I walk on average 5-7 miles a day, so I needed comfortable shoes. These fit the bill. I took out the original insoles and put in some New Balance motion control ones (it’s great that they have enough room for that). I’ve been wearing them even on days I don’t work because they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own! I got the 6.5 and I normally wear a women’s 9 wide. I highly recommend these.

These are great boots for everyday use. Was hard to figure the size chart but i think its my error. Gracious enough to exchange for the right size which i have received. delivered on time. Thank you again.

Greatest work boots you can buy!

Best boots ever.

Excellent purchase!
