These Blondo boots are a versatile everyday winter boot. I love the buckle detail, the subtle wedge, and the contrasting trim around the lug sole. They’re also waterproof. I wore these all day walking all over the North Shore of Boston, and my feet were very happy. It was a bit of a risk to wear new shoes, but I had no issues whatsoever. Blondo for the win! These are the Black Nubuck, and I did size up half per the recommendation on the Nordstrom website.
