They do not keep my feet warm.Rating:2 out of 5 starsI bought these boots to keep my feet warm in the winter time, they do not, at all. For how much I spent on them I felt they should have done a better job. My winter boots from last year that I bought for 30$ at payless kept my feet warmer. also, they are not as cute as they were in the pics.
I needed a functional affordable bootRating:5 out of 5 starsand this boot couldn’t be better. I needed a lot of criteria met, as I’ve tried Uggs, Sorels, Northface, Baffin and Ulu and none cut it as well as these.
They are sturdy (good ankle support for trekking around or winter hiking – unlike the soft sided puffy boots many companies make). They are lightweight – feet don’t get tired dragging a heavy boot around. They are adjustable – great lace up the whole front. They actually have a nice appearance and can pass as a boot to where everywhere if needed (they do look cute on). They have a thermal insulation of -25F (plenty for my use). They actually have nice functional lugs and grooves on the sole for grip (unlike Ulu and many other brands). They’re not too tall off the ground – they feel grounded and balanced, but the sole is still thick and warm. They are fully waterproof, not just water resistant like most boots out there. Love the rubber lining around the edges for further protection from water, bumping the toes and general scuffing. Two great colors to choose from. Pants can be tucked in or put over.
I wore these the other day in the mountains nearby and it was 2 feet of snow and 20 degrees out and these little boots were just perfect. They gripped well, weren’t stiff, were warm, stayed dry. Planning on using them for many hikes and snowshoeing and walks outdoors, shoveling etc! I am thrilled about the price ($68 – black friday) …and absolutely thrilled they perform so well and don’t feel stiff, flimsy or heavy.
The ankle area is a bit roomy as others have noted but I’d assume most boots you slip in and out of have this as a drawback. I didn’t notice it at all when I was out wearing them – so I wouldn’t even say its a problem (I wore a liner sock and a thick wool snow sock). Also the sizing – we warned these do indeed run small – be sure to order a size up. I can squeeze into an 8 or 8.5, 9 is my biggest size – these I needed a 10. My toes were crunched at the end in the 9 (never experienced that with a 9 before). So these are my first shoes I’ve ever owned that are almost 2 sizes up. If I could change anything I’d make them maybe an inch or 2 higher, for deeper snow, but I didn’t have a problem with snow getting down into them in the deep snow I tried them in since you can get the laces real snug and the tongue is attached to the boot (unlike some brands), so snow doesn’t sneak in.
Overall, these are the boots I’ve been looking for but haven’t found until now! Proof you don’t have to foot a ridiculous $300 bill for quality, functionality and even a cute design that doesn’t look cheap or trendy.
Great BootRating:5 out of 5 starsI needed a boot that was warm and lightweight for walking in the winter on trails and snowshoeing. This boot is great. I took the advice of previous reviews and bought a size larger than I wear. Good buy!!
so comfyRating:5 out of 5 starsI bought these expecting that they would be used mostly for shoveling snow and running errands when it was very snowy. But when they arrived, they were so much cuter than I thought! They are extremely comfortable and the lace-up front gives you room to tuck in jeans or accommodate heavy socks. I got these for a steal and I am thrilled. Best pair of winter boots I’ve bought in years.
Great Boots!Rating:4 out of 5 starsGreat snow boots! They are very warm but a bit stiff. They run a size small so keep this in mind when purchasing these boots. I’ve only worn them twice but in zero degree weather and my feet have stayed nice and warm.
