Work & Safety Chelsea Boots

I'm a machinist who works 50-60 hours a week. I step on hot sharp metal chips all day long and I can wear a pair of boots out in less that 3 months. I wanted something very tough with no laces (laces don't last long at my job.) After a month wearing these I can say they are well made and holding up nicely. They are tough and protect my feet nicely and they look great. But they were torture on my feet while they broke in and they are not comfortable to me even after they've broken in. They press down too hard on the tops of my foot and I now have two toes that seem permanently numb since wearing these 6 days a week. Wish I would have gotten a half size bigger maybe.

great style and materials. it's a very good boot for a tough job in varying conditions. for my circumstance it was too heavy and the pull on style left no ankle support. I would buy the lighter models for every day use, too heavy for my line of work where I have to be swifter.

It was pretty hard to get it on and the size was a little larger than expected.

I love these boots, they are super solid and I feel they will protect me from any dangers in the commercial kitchen I work in. The only issue I have with them is that the back runs my ankle and im developing calloused from the few times I've attempted to pair them with ankle socks. I've had many other chealsea boots in the past (most of them DMs), and I've never experienced that kind of rubbing from the back of the boot. They are still quite new so I'm hoping that they break in and become a bit softer but only time will tell.

Perfect - no break in needed - my new motorcycle boot - tough as nails! Recommended

I’m a stagehand and need steel toe boots, and I love my Blundstone 550s so I thought these would be perfect. They’re not too heavy but they’re sturdy, and I like that there’s plenty of room in the toe box for my wide-ish feet, but they are a full size too big for me. I’m a women’s size 6 and that’s as low as they go. For reference my 550s are a size 6.5 and I also have the 510 in a size 6. I tried adding an insole so they wouldn’t be so big, but then my heel slipped like crazy. I can’t have a shoe constantly rubbing against my heel all day long for 8-12+ hours. I wish the sizing was consistent with this brand.

Solid and durable, not super stylish but great for work, rubs a bit around the ankles when new but breaks in. True to size. Slips on easily.

I have owned 5 pair of Blunstone boots so far and I have been very happy with them. I have alwYs ordered them in AU 8 size. For some reason this pair is way bigger than any of my previous pairs and my foot totally slops around in them. I would have returned them but I worked outdoors real hard in them for 2 days so I’m sure they are not returnable. Maybe it’s just this model?? I have always worn the 500 series before. Oh well 2 pair of thick socks make them bareable.

Best boot I have ever had

What a shame. As a sculptor working around welding environments I was so hopeful for these since Dr. Martens stopped selling their steel toe Chelsea. Unfortunately, these are so crazy uncomfortable. They hit the arch in a weird and uncomfortable way and after a couple of hours the top of my foot is actually in pain. I had hoped that what they lacked in looks was made up by the claims of comfort and durability. After just the first day they had scuffs and a few weeks in the soles are showing wear already. I really regret buying these.
