Detailed Review
The Kamik Women's Snow Boots have been designed with both practicality and style in mind. Starting with their construction, these boots feature a seam-sealed waterproof nylon upper combined with stylish synthetic leather that not only contributes to their aesthetic appeal but also enhances their durability and functionality. The addition of a soft boa snow collar and a cozy knit flannel cuff ensure that you experience maximum comfort regardless of how long you're wearing them.
When it comes to warmth, the boots shine with 200g of 3M Thinsulate insulation. This high-quality insulation material is a game changer, keeping your feet warm even in frigid conditions. Coupled with a moisture-wicking fleece lining, these boots do an excellent job of regulating temperature and preventing sweat accumulation, which is crucial during winter sports or casual walks in the snow.
Another highlight is the removable Kamik Comfort EVA insole that features an odour-eliminating treatment, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor adventures without worrying about unpleasant smells developing over time. While the fit is generally comfortable, some users have reported that these boots may run slightly small, so opting for a size up might be wise for those who prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks.
In terms of style, these boots offer a sleek look that pairs nicely with various winter outfits, making them versatile for both outdoor excursions and daily wear. However, it's worth noting that while they perform well in moderate cold, they may not be ideal for extreme winter conditions unless supplemented with additional layers. All things considered, the Kamik Women's Snow Boots are an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable winter footwear that doesn’t compromise on style.

I work for a produce market that is outdoors on the weekends. This year we are planning to sell year round, and it has started getting cold out (temp in mid 20’s). My feet always get cold no matter what I have on them. I have been miserable the past few weeks with my toes numb and aching no matter how many layers I have on them. I asked my husband to get me extreme cold weather boots for Christmas. I am so pleased with these boots so far. 1- they are very fashionable. 2- they are extremely comfortable and not heavy! 3- I was outside last night in upper 20’s weather and my feet were very toasty with just a very thin sock on. They fit as expected. No complaints!
Kamik boots have kept my feet toasty warm throughout countless harsh New England winters. My last pair served me well for about 20 years, and they hardly show much wear and tear. I purchased the snowpearl model in the charcoal color. The grey fabric has a pretty, tweed look, and it is waterproof. I’ve included a video of water beading off of it. The “leather” is “vegan” aka vinyl, which would normally be a dealbreaker for me because I prefer real leather. However, it looks realistic and saved animals, so it’s a win-win. The liner has a double collar effect which is attractive with a white faux shearling exterior and a two toned grey interior. This double collar does a nice job of keeping out the snow and keeping in the warmth. I recommend ordering a half to a whole size larger than your regular shoe size. I generally wear an 8 or an 8 1/2, depending on the brand and style, but a 9 in a Kamik is just right. It allows room for thicker socks when desired, though I do find that I still stay warm even in thin socks. My only complaint is that these were made in China, whereas all of my previous Kamiks were made in Canada. Funny enough, their packaging says “proudly Canadian.” Overall, very pleased with my new boots, and I highly recommend Kamik boots.
We have hefty winters in Central NY and this rugged boot with excellent tread is just what i needed. Too many "urban" snow boots out there that do not cut the mustard in terms of warmth and tread. I have worn these through all kinds of weather and found them waterproof and very warm. The only negative is that while the toe box fits just fine, the heel was larger than expected. My last pair of Kamik boots which lasted at least a decade were also an 8 and fit just fine with a heavy pair of hiking socks. These require two medium cushioned hiking socks and the purchase of an insole with arch support to fit just right. Regardless, i am still very content with these snowboots.
Just got this in the mail a few days ago, and I absolutely adore them! Finding vegan-friendly boots was a bit challenging, but so happy I found these! Very warm, look just like the picture. They do run big - I usually wear a 7.5, but as there are no half sizes for these, I got 7’s, and I’d say they fit like a 7.5, if not an 8! Works well for fuzzy socks 👍
I usually buy new snow boots every 4-6 years and I’ve had my eye on these for a while now. Kamik is one of my favorite brands as I used to own a pair of their boots for ice fishing. These are comfortable, not too bulky or heavy, and very cute! I ended up wearing them to a recent below freezing NFL football game and I was warm and comfortable all day which included miles of walking. These are perfect for the day to day winter struggles!
I bought these boots for outdoor winter activities such as walking the dog, shoveling snow, etc. They're quite big around the ankle and therefore give a "too big," slouchy appearance. I was hoping for a better fitting boot. Because the ankle is too big, my whole foot flops around in the boot.On the upside, these boots are plenty warm for a Chicago winter.
I live in Iowa and we get a lot of snow. As a teacher I have bus and recess duty, so needed something that would keep my feet warm and dry. I ordered several other pairs of boots that I ended up returning, but these are perfect! They aren't too heavy to wear running errands, and after two winters they still don't leak!!! Worth the money for a great pair of boots that are also stylish!
I love these boots. They are very lightweight and keep my feet warm in below zero temps. I read a lot of reviews and the only “complaint” I can see is the instep being rather flat. It doesn’t bother me for regular wear or even snowshoeing but they wouldn’t be the best boots for a whole day on your feet. I still highly recommend these.
