Blundstone Men's Classics Chelsea Boots vs Blundstone Thermal Chelsea

5 in AUS sizes because the 4 was way too tight - for the record, I usually wear a 5 in men's US) - there was some slight pressure on my big toe, but after walking around for a couple of weeks, they were incredibly comfortable and I can wear two layers of socks if I wanted to. I haven't had any issues pulling on these boots, and the pull tabs seem like they will hold up over time. These boots also look great - with jeans (cuffed as well as just worn over the boot) as well as with tights and skirts/dresses - and I get compliments all the time. I've worn these to work settings before without judgment, but your mileage will vary on that count

Unfortunately, after 7 years of wear a crack opened on the bottom of the soles and they started leaking badly. Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, I wanted a pair of waterproof boots that are comfortable enough for daily wear throughout the rainy season. When I initially ordered these 560's I was a little bit concerned that the thinsulate lining and sheepskin insoles would be too hot when wearing indoors. However, I've been wearing them all day in the office and I find them toasty but comfortable
