User Reviews
Very nice and I would recommend to go with an half a size up, however that’s just me. I use to wear 6.5 women and I got a size 7 for women and it allows for extra room for wearing socks for boots too. But I like these the best since they’re not made with the fur on or inside of them as I don’t want to wear fur at all and yes that’s MY OPINION so if you feel like you need to make a comment just don’t. It’s my post and again I’m trying to help and make it clear what some reasons why I chose this one and it’s possible to help others who might feel the same way. I think it’s important to make sure they continue to make more duck boots without the fur as I almost stopped buying them but I just ran across these at the last minute. I hate picturing the poor animals in traps and then they are suffering from this and it’s just not humane and I feel like I see them increasing duck boots with fur and it really makes me feel like I just need to quit buying them if I keep seeing them making them more and more. No Animal should suffer so we can wear them when we do have other materials. Please think about your pet and picture if they were caught in a trap and suffer in pain for hours and days and just to skin them and then we wear their fur. I’m not preaching to anyone. I just want people to know and understand if they don’t know and if you do and don’t have a problem with it then I should just say that I’m not making any arguments etc. I’m just going to say that we can agree to disagree. And now that ALL being said.. I love these boots. I definitely would recommend them over any others that have fur. ❤️
I ordered my normal size and it was probably 2 sizes too small. Can’t speak to the durability or functionality since I returned them and the sale was over after the return process.
These boots are perfect! I wore them in Chicago for Christmas. They are fleece lined and they kept my feet warm. They were comfortable and I didn’t need to break them in. They have great traction on the bottom so I never felt like I was going to slip and fall. I like that they have shoe strings and a zipper so they’re easy to get on and off. I did order an half size up to accommodate for thicker socks, but I think they’re true to size. Also, I’m not sure why these say men’s boots but they are women’s boots. Highly recommend!
I can’t believe how nice these boots are! I didn’t really expect much from a new pair of winter boots but not only are they the waterproof duck style boot, they are so comfortable. They cushion your feet with a memory foam like insole. I almost can’t wait for it to snow again.
I need a wide and these fit so well even with thick socks on though you don't need thick socks for warmth with these. They keep my feet warm and dry even in the pouring rain. Love them!
The boot is a female size boot not a male size advertised wrong 😑
