Blundstone leather has almost no stretch. Either they fit properly on day one or they don't fit at all. Also the standard soles are garbage on snow and ice. That's why they brought out the Vibrams

Had mine for three or four years now. Lost count. The sole is only now starting to show wear through to the foam. We'll see if that's a problem for water coming in. Still haven't found the perfect summer boot though.

I would suggest using extreme caution before purchasing Blundstone boots. I purchased the 1469’s last week (01/04/24) and when they arrived this week. The left boot was larger than the right boot. I sent in a help request (because there is no phone number on their website, that I can find) with a video proving the left boot was larger than the right (too big for me) and have heard nothing. I have been a long time Blundstone customer, own several pair of Blundstones and admit they are comfortable (if you have a correct fit) but if it has come to this style of poor customer service I will not be purchasing or recommending any more Blundstone boots. It is a disgrace that one has to pay so much for a pair of boots and cannot speak or communicate with anyone from Blundstone when their product is a fail. Buyer be aware!!
