Blunnies are best boots. I have the winter and also the steel toes. Very comfy and no fiddling with laces, just wish the steel toes were water proof as I am a kultz in the field.

Good boots, high quality materials for sure.

another brand to look at are the Canada West Moorby or the Romeo boots. Made in Canada, goodyear welted construction. Quality is comparable to Red Wings for less money. The Romoeo line are the blundstone style without laces.

A quote from the nerds on the goodyear welt forum:

The Canada West is far, far higher quality. Vibram sole with a goodyear welt, superior quality leather (blundstones is cheap bonded crap), hand made in Canada as opposed to China or Vietnam. Their EEE (the only size) isn't wide at all. It's the same width as a normal shoe. Anyone who says that they're super wide has definitely never tried them. You need to go a full size down, not for width reasons but for length. I wear a 8 usually, I have a 7EEE of the Canada West and it's perfect.

Canada West boots are way underpriced. Other Canadian boot makers like Dayton doing a similar style with similar quality materials charge $600. Canada West has no brand, no marketing, and that's why they're so damn cheap. The Canada West boots are at least twice as good as the Blundstones.

I don't own any of the Romeo but I do have 3 pairs of the Moorby line , which have the laces and have been very happy with them.

I like my blundstones but they also kill my instep when driving. Barely make it to Okotoks and back without foot going asleep

@Pacman nice suggestion!

Should come as of no surprise being in Victoria... but I can be found rocking my blunys during the colder days. It's the left coast cowboy boot as far as I'm concerned. On the warmer days, it's all about the Vessi!

My question to the hive is that do you use both the provided insoles? The length of the boot is fine, but it just seems a bit loose on the top.

I was under the impression the second set of insoles in the box is to be stacked for exactly this. But idk, I have fucked up feet so use fancy insoles in mine.

West coast life is Viberg life. But I don't know if they make slip-ons.

[msommers]

Yeah they have a few types

I was an 11 when I was swimming around in my dad's nutsack. I now have to squeeze into a 13 and wear thin socks.
