User Reviews
I bought these about 2 weeks before a trip to Italy and wore them maybe a few hours leading up to the trip. While on trip, I wore them all day during 2 rainy days and did a lot of walking. They were comfortable and waterproof. Never experienced discomfort because they were new. I’d recommend them if you are looking to have something that looks good with jeans and can be worn all day for long walks.
Nice boots, with some misgivings.I've been wearing these at work for about 2+ months. I wear a 41 (or 10.5), in almost every shoe. These boots have 2 inserts, presumably to allow a bit more room, if you're between sizes, or have a wider foot. I use orthotics (so no Ecco inserts), because there isn't enough arch support, regardless of Ecco insert used. Any foot issues? These can't be worn without additional support. Therefore, if you're wearing an orthotic, you'll probably have to size up. The trouble with sizing up is that now you have a very large boot profile and it'll appear you're wearing your dad's galoshes. 41 was snug, 42 was sloppy. I decided to go with slightly snug. While they're very comfortable out of the box, they remain at that comfort level. Don't expect them to loosen up much.They do everything expected: Keep the snow off, keep your feet warm-ish (they aren't insulated), and look nice.The first issue: the pull-loop on the boot is almost useless due to it's small tidy size. The waterproof "sock" will make pulling the boot on, and trying to get the boot off, difficult. Any mobility issues? Don't buy this boot.The second issue I have with this boot is the sole. It's durable enough, but is downright useless on anything slippery. I'd love to see an oil-resistant sole on these and better tread, in the future. If you're using these as a uniform complement, be very careful, or plan to wear crampons. They are life-threatening, to be perfectly dramatic. They are not suitable for snowy conditions, or wet painted surfaces.The third issue, which is common with the waterproof-sock in any brand - and might not actually be an issue for you - is that if the boot is keeping the wet out, it's also keeping your foot sweat in. Damp feet can lead to cold feet. Breathability is non-existent. I'm outside only sporadically, so while it bugs me, it's not a deal-breaker.In short, these were the only boots that I could find that were uniform-friendly, presumably "waterproof," and looked like they could hold up through the winter...while accommodating an orthotic. They have their issues but are overall, a nice boot. Considering my personal experience though, I'll look for a different pair next season.
