Comfort: The memory foam footbed is one of the standout features of the JBU by Jambu Women's Eagle boot. It molds to your foot, providing cushioning and support for prolonged wear. Users have noted that this feature significantly enhances comfort levels, especially during long walks.
Style: The sleek black fur finish gives these boots a chic appearance, making them versatile enough to pair with casual and semi-formal outfits. Many reviewers appreciate that they can transition from outdoor adventures to urban settings seamlessly.
Performance: The water-resistant capabilities ensure that your feet remain dry and warm, which is essential during wet weather. Additionally, the all terra traction soles offer robust support and grip, enabling stable movement on slippery surfaces, which many boots fail to deliver.
Fit: While most users find the fit true to size, it’s worth mentioning that those with wider calves may want to try these on before purchase as the shaft circumference is somewhat snug. Some users have reported a slight break-in period, which is typical for many new leather and synthetic boots.

User Reviews
I have had these boots for only about 2-3 weeks but have worn them a lot for long periods of time. I looked at many different brands and styles and this is the one that made it to the top of my list and my first JBU shoe. Quick review: Cute, warm, comfortable, ordered my regular size.I work at a ski resort (inside position) and am on my feet for many hours and these have kept my feet very comfortable and warm. I have worn them with socks and even without socks in a pinch and they feel nice and soft inside - not rubbery and not fluffy but do seem to have a light fleece-like insole. I like that they look a lot like short fancier brand begins with an H boot but do not look like straight up rain boots. I actually bought these to replace my other fancier brand boots and like these a LOT better. These do not rub my ankles, do not make my feet sweat and are cute with so many things. Also important is that the sole is good on icy and snow-covered terrain, but still looks like a slim boot that is lightweight compared to a heavy snow boot.I like that they are very easy to put on. After a few days of wearing I notice they do break in a little and have gotten easier to put on. The pull-tabs in the front and back are awesome and very strong. I bought the black color (without the fur) which is accurate to the photos - not super dark black but more of a light black which just feels right for the style and material. I have not tested their waterproofness yet but they are truly perfect for what i wanted them for and they look great! Extremely happy with this purchase!
I'll take it! Gets me out of my duck boots, "weather ready", decent price, very comfortable, feels insulated, memory foam foot bed. This boot runs true to size. I first ordered a half size larger, but had to return for my normal size. Shoe feels slightly bulky and 'boaty' and I wish it were a little sleeker, but it's honestly not that bad (and I'm pretty picky). Treads on the bottom seem really good for walking around in the winter and the pull-on feature is much appreciated as I usually have a baby in one arm. Wish they had these in charcoal or that the black wasn't out of stock in my size - I would order more!
True to size,easy slip on and comfortable.My 2nd pair
Well made, very nice wet dry grip lug soles, repel water, nice nubuck look brown color, casual stylish design.This is a great company (alternately named J-41/Jambu/JBU) & they remanufactured old tires to make shoes, so commendably very Eco Conscious!! I live in their Tahoe shoes, great for walks, hiking, paddling & spur of moment lake swims . Great wide toe box & super comfy.I also really like their Chelsea Moccassin shoes for cooler weather walks & around town.Unfortunately, as I have very high insteps & arches, these short boots don't fit, so I had to return them, Waah.
I’m a longtime fan of all Jambu shoes, and these do not disappoint! They are incredibly comfortable, no break in period needed (they’re slightly large, but I’m sticking with my normal size anyways in case I wear thick socks. I don’t think sizing up is necessary, they’re just roomy). Very easy to slip on and off. I love that they’re water resistant and have good traction. AND they’re very cute!! After wearing these boots in black just about every day for 6 months, I decided to get a brown pair too, and an extra black pair for when my first pair wears out!
Comfortable, warm, great style. So happy with the black pair after wearing for a few weeks that I ordered another pair in brown/tan. True to size.
Ordered an 8.5 even though I am an 8M due to some reviews indicating it runs small. But I found it to be true to size, so they're too big. But they are really nice looking in person. No zipper but straps make it easy to pull them on. Looks like good quality - warm interior and comfy foot bed. Love that they are water resistant. Too bad my size is not available. Some reviews though, have me concerned, as they mentioned sole coming apart after a short time. I saw this on a few sites.
I am very happy with this purchase so far. I was looking at the more expensive version of Blundstones, but did not want to dole out the cash right now and these Jambu booties have proven to be a great find. I haven't had to test them in extreme weather yet so I cannot speak to that, but they are warm for casual winter wear with a pair of Smartwool socks. The sole is rugged and gives you a little extra confidence when walking on wintery sidewalks. They look great with skinny jeans and a comfy sweater. Easy on/off design. I am interested to see how they wear over time.
