A comfortable fit for your Blundstone Boots

The slogan for Blundstone Boots in Canada is “Pull on Comfort since 1870.” Before you pull on a pair it is really important that you get the right fit for your foot. Length is the primary consideration when fitting Blundstones. Walk around in the boots and get a sense of whether your front most toe is touching the front of the boots. If they are consistently touching the front of the boots, then the boots are too small. A thumb width (or minimum of ½ an inch) of space between the end of your foot and the end of the boot is recommended for a good fit.

Width can be focused on now that you have determined the length of the boot. Blundstones are commonly referred to as ‘outdoor slippers’, referring to the ease of putting on and taking off these boots. Blundstones typically have a loose fit and a half-inch of heel lift is very common with Blundstone boots. If you still find that they fit too generously, the insoles provided in the box are helpful for snugging up the fit. It may also be common for you to feel pressure across the instep of the boot where the ‘v-stitching’ comes across the instep. This pressure will often dissipate with regular wear after a two to three week period, once the leather begins to stretch.
