BASS OUTDOOR Women's Field Duck Low Slipo Hiking Shoe Review

Wow, Bass shoes on sale super cheap, my lucky day! Very comfortable, conformed to the shape of my feet. One foot is a half size bigger than the other but not noticeable in these shoes, both fit well. As with other reviewers, I had to use the loop to get my heel in, but that’s what it’s for! It’s intentional for better fit, which keeps them on my feet, especially the smaller one. Very happy with them. Paid more than the sale price of these for similar shoes but no way they were of better quality than these. Even if I had paid full price, they’d have been worth every penny. Bass shoes are and always have been the best.

I like the boot but the vamp needs to be cut lower or a zipper added up the front. Very difficult to get your foot in.

I have liked Bass shoes for a very long time but have not seen them anywhere for a while. They’re great quality and this pair is particularly substantial. I got these since the description said “hiking shoe” but these are rubber (not that breathable) and a little too heavy for anything other than a light hike. What these will be amazing for is going out in rainy or snowy weather. They are comfortable and fit really well. I saw others mention they are hard to get on but I didn’t have any trouble once I used both tabs (tongue and heel) at the same time to pull them on. I have high arches and instep with an almost wide toe area and these fit my foot perfectly. They are very comfortable and run pretty true to size. I was worried that I should have sized up but my usual size 8 fit fine. If you plan to wear thick socks or if you are in between sizes, definitely size up. The quality justifies the price in my opinion and these should hold up well for years and years.

I read other reviews and worried these wouldn’t fit ! I’m a size 9 and bought a 9. Perfect. I will note here that my feet are narrow .. I also use the pull tabs to put on-perfect. Just stepping into these shoes without using the tabs won’t work.. Once on, these shoes are comfortable , warm, and seem to show good workmanship . They don’t make my feet look huge and aren’t clunky or heavy. Very pleased.

Nice heavy duck shoe. Very difficult to get my very narrow AA foot in it. Had to put on thin slick socks and use a shoehorn to get feet into the shoe. Put shoe stretchers in each one and see it that helps. Guess that’s why they r so cheap. Certainly seem durable and good to wear in rain. As long as you are willing to take the time and effort to get them on.

As other reviewers have noted, these are a bit challenging to get on. I found they get easier as you break them in, but I keep a shoehorn with them. Since I ordered them for outdoor hiking, I have been wearing them on the treadmill to break them in/try them out, as there is nothing worse than being a few miles out before you realize your feet are being tortured by new shoes that just don't work.With no socks on, for the first try on, these shoes were comfortable. The padding in the soles is amazing. Like walking on clouds. Not sure yet how this will translate to outdoor stability, so far it is great.For the first treadmill trial I wore thick hiking socks. The kind I would normally wear when hiking through water. I only lasted about 1.5 miles, going uphill at a brisk pace. (3-3.5) Gave in an took them off, and when they came off I had crazy pins and needles all through both feet. I tried again the next day with thinner socks. That was MUCH better. I think that the combination of breaking in, and of course less fabric, made all the difference. I went the full hour with no discomfort.After all those miles in them, I think the issue that people are noticing with the fit is that they are narrow. The length is fine, but they are tight across the arch of the foot.I am going to put the thick socks back on, and use them for short distances to continue to break them in to a point where I feel confident wearing them for long periods out of doors. I think they are going to end up being great, but I do wonder if another pair would have started out at the place I am going to have to work so hard to get to.

First off, I have to say that these are probably the ugliest shoes I now have in my closet, however, they are probably also the most comfortable. The only issue I had with these is that they were a tad on the small size. I wish I had gotten a half size up. I can, however, wear thinner socks with them and they fit fine and are comfortable, I just generally prefer a thicker sock. If that is you as well, I would recommend a half size larger than your normal to make room for the socks. These wear nice, they feel good when they are on, almost like a house slipper. We are in Florida and we are in the rainy season, so these are nice to be able to keep in the car and be able to throw them on when the weather turns bad quickly. I've walked around quite a bit in these and they feel good, wear well, and are functional in that they keep the water out. If you get water over the ankle, some does get into the shoe, but just walking around in them, they work great. These are good for rain, sand, mud, and would probably work for snow as well as they have a decent tread.

I usually wear a womens 6. This was insanely small. I couldnt get my foot inside at all. They look very very well made though.
