Love these! Perfect for what I need them for. I'm trying to look cute and have comfy, stylish, warmish boots that aren't really seeing heavy duty work. I'm not out shoveling sloppy snow for days, I'm heading to my car and going to work in them, in an office. I wear wool socks with them so by themselves are they super warm? No. The "wool" part on the boot is just around the ankle so protects that from snow being dumped down your foot but it's not fully lined. Would they keep you warm and dry if you are out in below zero temps and heavy wet snow for very long? Also, no. Good bottom so they aren't slippery. A little work to get in and out of if you don't really loosen the ties a lot. Super long laces to either wrap around or tuck in. Plenty of room once you get your foot in the boot and even if you normally buy a WIDE, you don't really have to here. Seems well put together and feels solid.
First of all they have wide widths. I am grateful for that. I like to wear a thicker sock in the winter and my feet are a bit wider than normal folks. It's a little work to get them on, but they are comfortable. No breaking in period, I wore mine all day without them hurting my feet at all. What I don't understand is why all of the colors are not the same price? I looked a week ago and the grey ones were $79 and then looked recently they were the same as the other colors at $44. I ordered right away before the price jumped again. I would order 1/2 size larger than your normal. All in all cute boots, very comfortable, reasonably priced.
Boots were true to size. The image is accurate to the product. While the boots are cute and will keep my feet warm, they are a little difficult to put on. The boot is sturdy and doesn’t have a lot of flexibility which makes inserting your foot into it difficult. Once your foot is in, the boots fit nicely and are comfortable.
I love how these boots look on my feet. However, they are not the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. Now, I have to say, I've worn them three times so far, and today they feel a bit better than the first time I wore them. It's possible that the more I use them the more comfortable they'll get. At first I ordered a size 9 (I usually wear size 8) because people in the comments said they run small. Nope! I had to return the first pair and then I ordered them in size 8. I feel like they are still a bit too big. Specially width wide. Someone also mentioned it was not very easy to put them on and take them off since they don't have a zipper. This is true, but again, the more I wear them, the easier it's becoming to do this.
Perfect ankle boots that are comfortable and give you that cozy stylish look.
I like the look of these boots and they’re very stylish. However, they are very hard and they do not bend easily with my foot. Walking in them for an extended amount of time is painful due to them not molding with my feet. Would not purchase again.
I was originally drawn to the look of these boots! When I read the other reviews, some people said they were hard to put on. All I did was loosen up the laces a little, and my foot slipped right in! They are very stylish, and so far comfortable, although I have not worn them for any long distance walks.
These look just like the picture and fit true to size. I got them for a Christmas trip to Nashville, and have worn them many times since. So far, they are holding up great. Definitely a good buy.
