A nice combination of chunky with the sole but delicate in the shape. I have a hard time keeping light soles clean but these may be just dark enough that it won't be a problem. With these and your black ones you will have all the bases covered.  BlueJay on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners?

My only hesitation would be about how they will perform in our wet slushy conditions. I had a pair of Blondos and they leaked. If you decide to keep them, I would spray them with a protector.  Helena on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners?

Jenni, agree ... I am being extra suspicious because of the last ones. These seem good ... I ran around the house tidying, up and down stairs etc yesterday and they were very comfy. Today is dusting day so I'll give them another test run! Thanks all!! Brooklyn on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners?

I guess I’m a bit scared on your behalf because I remember the other recent pair of Blondo boots that were a fail. Wear them around the house a lot and up and down stairs first?

They sound really practical, and you sound happy about them! They look great to my eye, too. Indigoprint on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners?

I did notice the looseness but it didn't bother me ... But now that you've said it, I will do a really thorough test drive as the last thing one needs in winter weather is unstable boots! Joyce B on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners?

Before committing I like to wear footwear around the house, particularly up and down the stairs and also on wet/moist tile floor to be sure my feet feel stable. I think the slight wedge will make them very comfortable. Mirjana on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners? What say you :)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boots-arrived---i-think-they-are-winners-what-say-you#post-2351895 Tue, 06 Feb 2024 14:33:31 +0000 Mirjana 2351895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great boots and nice color. I like them with light wash jeans, so beautiful on you. Aquamarine on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners? What say you :)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boots-arrived---i-think-they-are-winners-what-say-you#post-2351894 Tue, 06 Feb 2024 14:27:55 +0000 Aquamarine 2351894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look great but I feel like I have to caution you. I just gave away a very similar pair of Blondos after a few wears because that ankle ribbing made me feel unstable. It made the boot feel too loose for me and I almost fell down some stairs. This was not obvious wearing them around the house. But I see yours has a zipper so maybe it feels tighter than my pair did. Helena on "The boots arrived - I think they are winners? What say you :)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boots-arrived---i-think-they-are-winners-what-say-you#post-2351893 Tue, 06 Feb 2024 14:10:10 +0000 Helena 2351893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi all, the Blondo boots arrived and I'm feeling good about them - but we know how frequently I wear boots, so can't hurt to get some educated feedback in case I'm missing something :) They are very comfortable and slightly different to my black ones - they have a slight wedge-ish bit of height which does not make them heels by any stretch, but to my eye make them work a little better with wide pants. They fit perfectly with my other taupe items tone-wise, and although they are not light enough to create a true column with light wash jeans, they certainly soften the contrast and look a lot less heavy than the black. I think they will look better with my navy leggings too. They are dark enough that I won't need to be precious with them in slush (Blondos are teflon in winter weather anyhow). I am pleasantly surprised too that the toe is a little slimmer than I though, which to my eye looks a little neater. This style also has a lighter sole which I like. So I am feeling good about these - but open to blind spots being pointed out before the tags come off.
