Detailed Review
When it comes to comfort, the Cobb Hill Women's Skylar Zip Boot excels. The molded EVA midsole offers cushioning that feels great during prolonged wear. It’s perfect when you're on your feet all day. Additionally, the dual density stability footbed is designed to provide extra support, making each step feel stable and supported without feeling too rigid.
From a style perspective, these boots are incredibly versatile. Their sleek silhouette pairs well with everything from jeans to skirts, allowing for seamless transitions between casual outings and slightly dressier events. The zipper closure not only enhances the aesthetic but also makes them easy to put on and take off.
In terms of durability, the combination of leather and textile lining along with a strong rubber sole means that these boots can withstand daily wear and tear. The waterproof feature is a significant advantage, particularly for those living in wetter climates or enjoying outdoor activities.
While the limited color options may be a drawback for some, the classic black allows for easy pairing with most attire. However, be prepared for a slight break-in period as the leather may feel stiff initially. Once broken in, you will likely find them one of your go-to pairs!

User Reviews
Nice boot, I ordered 7 and 7.5 due to reviews that said it runs small. I agree and so glad I ordered the 7.5. Very comfortable. I am a true 7.
I wore them all day yesterday to get used to them for a trip. Didn't even feel like I was wearing new shoes. Very happy!! Have been looking for awhile now. Trying different ones on, no luck. I am glad they cut so well. Bonus... they look fashionable. Fit well I'm an 8 I got 8
These boots seem well made. I have only worn them a few times, and it was not particularly rainy or wet. I am hoping they are really waterproof. The reason for the 4/5 is that they fit a little large. I have Cobb Hill shoes and boots, and none of the previous purchases have as large a foot bed. The boots won't slip off because they are boots, but I am somewhat afraid they may rub blisters or be uncomfortable after several hours of walking because of the extra space. I purchased them for a trip in which I expected to walk in the boots all day in rainy weather. I will update if there is a change either way. One note: I have narrow feet but a podiatrist said to NEVER buy "Narrow" shoes.
I really like these boots for walking the dogs in our rainy weather. They are very comfortable. I'm going to get a black pair if they go on sale.
I thought the boots were really cute. I have a narrow foot but often can work with a medium width if I wear socks. I put on my wool sox and tried them on. Too wide! They were also too long but that's because I was between sizes and so chose the larger size. Returned them the next day. If they had fit, I would have kept them and loved them.
Like the quality and fit
Ordered them, tried them on and immediately sent them back.. While they may be great shoes, the width for Xwide is NOWHERE near xwide. Bought 61/2 x-wide and they are NOT wide. More like normal fit shoes. If you go up a size you will have an extra inch or so in the toes to trip over. Would NOT recommend at all for anyone with wide feet.
The boots are very comfortable and they are true to size besides looking good. I got them in black and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
