“I bought these boots for wearing in rural Italy in winter where the cobblestones are very slippery. Other supposedly nonslip shoes haven’t worked before. I haven’t been there yet with my Blundstones so I can’t comment on whether they are a success or not. They are comfortable to wear, although I wore them for a short walk around home without long socks as it was summer and they rubbed the back of my ankles raw. So I recommend only wearing with long socks. I also think they were slightly too big but I prefer that so I can wear thick socks in winter. Overall I’m happy so far but will have to leave the review of their traction until later.”
