@@evodevo69 I actually still haven’t used any of the blundstone cream/ spray yet, I’ve been wearing New Balance sneakers more often than these boots, I’ll do an update video likely when I do a waterproofing before the winter.

Yes they loosen up as they wear in, I'd suggest making sure that the sole is wide enough to support the full width of your feet, both of these are wide enough but I bought a v3 recently, they're not tight widthwise but the sole is a bit narrow, my feet don't sit flat in them.

@@CompuChef Thanks. Your video seemed to suggest you normally wore D width with the v5. I guess I wanted to know if going to EE in v6 made them feel too wide after they stretched a little? I tried on a half size down in the v6 D, but they were too tight around the ball of my foot. I guess I was worried going to EE might get too wide if they started to stretch too much. Thanks.

I just bought a 990v3 size 9.5 width D, it is slightly longer and slightly more narrow than the 990v5

Yes the sole and the thicker insole add 1.5" to 2" to your height

@@CompuChef Sounds good, If im Size 9 in other Blundestones, should I stay with my size? I heard these fit bigger?

@@flowtraveller843 The fit the same as others if you use the insole included. If you use a different insole (like the ones included with other models) they fit bigger, there's more room inside.

I don't know, I've never tried on the 996

Unfortunately I returned them already

Google will explain it better and more thoroughly than I can, basically a mold that shoes are built around

@@CompuChefJust got my pair today in an 8.5 which is usually perfect for all my 990s, and like you said it’s definitely a little long. Unfortunately going to have to return for an 8.

I rotate between custom orthotics and Dr. Scholls Plantar Fasciitis insoles. Note that the all terrain's fit much more snug and if you need insoles, you will probably have to go with the lug sole or classic.

@@CompuChef I hate Dr. Scholls. But thanks for replying.

@@layzy24check out foot print insoles. Helped my PF majorly, working 12-15 hour days wearing Blundstones

Well coming from someone who has a pair of 990s which come in the smooth black leather and have the same exact lug sole, I haven’t had them long maybe a month or so but as long as you clean them often they’ll still look as fresh as you pulled them out the box. Now I will tell you because they are leather they will have a wrinkle kinda look where the toe bends as you walk but it’s not ugly to me personally. It’s just something that happens with leather so it gives off a more natural look so I assume the rustic black ones as they are a nubuck material or basically a suede looking kinda material the crease won’t be as defined because it’s not a smooth leather so it won’t give off that wrinkle look. Either way I’m super pleased with my blundstones and would buy them 100 times again and when next year comes around and I get my boot allowance from my job I will be getting the 990s again for sure. They’re one of the most comfortable shoes let alone boots I’ve ever worn. The lug sole has a built in arch support which feel great on my feet and I’m not sure if the come with the XRD insert inside the shoe like my 990’s do but if they do they feel AWESOME. Again one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had, couldn’t be happier with my purchase of blundstones.

The Romeos fit the same lengthwise and topwise, but are noticeably wider. If you don't have a wide foot you may find that your feet move around too much in them. Also the soles on the Romeos have much less cushioning, especially the winter one, they are very hard.

@@CompuChefThank you very much you are the best!

I think no matter what is used, the soft feel and texture will change, I still haven't used the renovating cream, I'm trying to keep the original colour as long as possible.

I've found that the all-terrain fit tighter, notably around the top and at the heel; I have to wear my thinnest socks. Not sure if I'm going to keep them, I prefer a bit more room in my boots.

For all New Balance my normal size is 9.5 D, stayed with that normal size for the v5 but went with 8.5 EE for the v6

@@CompuChef do you get others shoes in 9.5 too? Like your Nike,hoka, adidas?

HELLO What is EE what is the diferend size D or EE .İ AM LEAVEN İN EUROP İ CANT FİND EE OR SAME THİNG ELES WHE HAVE ONLY D. MY SİZE 11 NORMALY WHAT SİZE İ MUST BUY. I AM BUYİNG İN İNTERNET İ CANT FİND İN THE SHOP THANKYOU FOUR YOUR HALP GOOD DAY

@@davitisay8817 EE is extra wide. D is wide. The 990v6 is very narrow. D should feel like standard size for most people

@@dietmanthank you dietman four yor coment. My normal size is 11 us 45 europ what size i must by to 990v6 ther is a lot of videos says v6 is too long going to half size down. But im a fraid 10.5 if its to smal i find in internet 11 size is it too big for normal size 11 thank you 🙏

Same here wanted a honest review

I gave my black ones with red elastics (in the video from a year ago) to a friend and the sole disintegrated, the boots were about 10 years old. From what I've read this will happen eventually with any TPU sole.

Those are rustic brown, the colour and texture changed after waxing

For year round, I'd go with the lug sole.

I'm size 12 ¿what size I choose in theese? Thank you

Take out the flimsy insole on the ultraboosts , it does nothing for comfort and makes the shoe way too tight

Did you order your Blundstones? I got my very first pair of blundstones a couple weeks ago for work. I got the 990 as they are steel toe which I need for the job I work and I have to say I am absolutely in love with my blundstones. These are actually my second boot I’ve ever bought as I’ve never really been a boot guy but like I said I needed steel toes for work and my first pair of boots were some cheap ones from Walmart. I came across the blundstones on the boot website my job has us go through and I went for the blundstones because I wanted a Chelsea style boot as I was sick of having to tie my boots everyday and having to retie them when they come loose haha but the 990’s are amazing, the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn let alone any boot I’ve had. They have a huge list of safety features which I like but they also looked super sleek, not too chunky and nice for a pair of work boots. I also like that they’re made with real leather. I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments on them and I’d wear these Blundstones anywhere actually not at work. Working outside, going to the store, wherever. They comfortable, fit great and look great. Do you like your blundstones, if you got them?

They are a bit heavier, not sure how much without a scale, but they are still lighter than other boots, I don't find the weight to be an issue at all, I like the stability in rougher terrain.

If you want a boot that could be worn year round, I'd go with the ones in my video, so for your smooth black color choice that would be 2058 or 2240. The thermal boots would be way to warm to wear in any season other than winter. The lug sole is better for winter grip. I wear the boots with thinner socks in warm weather and thicker in the winter, and only wool socks will do.

agree 100%. Wore my v6 pair for 4 months and sold it, purchased the v5 again instead (my 2nd pair). Was never comfortable with the v6, got my correct size but they felt bad.

I think New Balance persuaded a lot of UA-cam sneaker heads to give the v6 glowing reviews and make the v6 sound like the hottest, best sneakers in existence. Thanks for being so honest about your experience with the v6, which was the same as mine. To me the v6 is a lot of hype with no substance or quality to match the hype, and a far inferior shoe compared to the v5. I wish there was a way to find out what the REAL sales stats are on the v6 -- including how many customers have bought and then returned them. My opinion is they will not come near the sales numbers and satisfaction the v5 received. Interesting that New Balance removed all the customer reviews from their site right after the v6 launched. Hmmmm . . .

@@pattonPwr I hated the fit of the v6. The v5 was perfect. v6 is long and narrow, with inferior materials and little support. A big fail in my opinion. I got a pair of 993 and another v5. New Balance needs to rethink the direction they're taking. They've lost their way.

@@sl2608 agree 100%.. Teddy Santis is going to ruin the company in a long term run. They may be richer and more popular than ever but they are loosing it...

@@pattonPwr You hit the nail on the head. Short term sales of flashy new "collabs" won't cut it in the long run. Santis took one of their best shoes, the 990v5, and ruined it. Big mistake.

I'm not sure if it's due to the newness and needing to soften from breaking in, but compared to the 585, the 2056 is a tiny bit tighter, and the 2238 is a tiny bit looser. This difference in fit isn't enough to go up or down in sizing though.

The heel of the v6 actually fits a bit more snug, I can’t fit my finger between the shoe and the heel with it, but I can fit my finger with the v5.

​@@CompuChef The shoe is definitely longer and more narrow. My normal size is 11.5 D. When I dropped down to 11, it was too snug. A guy on the phone recommended I go down a half size and go wider (11 EE). He thought if I went a whole size down, my arch might be in the wrong place. What do you think? Unfortunately, they are hard to find, had no EE to try on, so I may have to order several pair which is always difficult. Thanks Kelly.

@@AWolfMan75 Go with what he recommended, or you could order 2 sizes and return the one that doesn't fit in store, I believe they also send a shipping label for you to return by mail free, but check if they still offer this.

@@CompuChef Where are your toes (near the end?) going a whole size down? And did it effect where your arch is? Just curious. I have one foot longer than the other, so sizing will be a little tricky with this shoe if I have to go wide too. There are no stores where I live that have them. This was the only video I found that really talked about sizing so any details you have are very appreciated. Thanks so much.

@@AWolfMan75 have about a thumb's width of space in front of the toes on both shoes. I don't notice a difference in arch placement. My right foot is also longer so I size my shoes based on my right foot. After wearing the v6 wide for a while, they did loosen up a bit more width-wise, so unless you have a wide forefoot like I do, maybe a regular width half size down would work for you.

I would say the all terrain fits the same as the 550 and the lug fits slightly wider

@@CompuChef thank you for the quick response !

Go half a size on your regular size for a wider fit :)
