Detailed Review
The AXNY womens Dylan-3 Rain Shoe stands out in the crowded market of winter footwear thanks to its unique combination of style and functionality. The synthetic sole offers excellent durability, ensuring that you can confidently wear these boots through harsh weather conditions.
With a shaft measuring approximately 4.25 inches from the arch, these boots provide adequate coverage while still allowing flexibility. The platform height of 0.5 inches adds a subtle lift, enhancing comfort without compromising stability.
One notable feature is the traction outsole, which comes with stylish stitching details - not only does it enhance the shoe's aesthetic, but it also helps you maintain grip during wet or slick conditions. The lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit, ensuring that your foot remains secure without feeling constricted.
However, keep in mind that the sizing runs small. It is advisable to choose one size up for the best fit. This aspect may deter some buyers, particularly those who prefer a standard fit, so make sure to take this into account when purchasing.

User Reviews
Really cute boots and keep feet dry. Exactly as pictured. They felt a little short inside and there is a lining in the boot (like a built-in sock) so I cut that a little and the boot fits great now and is still comfortable. I ordered 1/2 size up and agree with the other reviews that they run a bit small. It doesn't seem to be the boot itself but the sock inside that's a little small.
I love these boots for their appearance! However, when it comes to quality they are not the best. I am a size 10-11 and I ordered a size 11 thinking that they would be a bit big so I could wear thick socks. When they came I could tell by their appearance that they were small. I checked the size to be sure that they did not send me the wrong ones and it was the correct size. They do fit me but definitely will not fit with thick socks. So for me, it is fine but if you are ordering them I would recommend ordering a size larger than what you usually wear. Also over time, the inner fleece has worn down a bit and they are a little roomier so maybe after a while of wearing them, I will be able to wear my thick socks!
Other posts say these boots run small and I am a women's size 9 so I originally got size 10 but they were huge! So I returned them and got size 8 and they fit perfectly. These shoes run a size LARGE so buy accordingly. Great shoes! Perfect for rain or snow and they keep my feet nice and warm.
I normally wear a 10 and absolutely had to size up to an 11. The boots are comfortable and warm. I will say they are a little narrow so if your feet tend to be on the wider side you may find them uncomfortable. They were packaged great, no plastic smell, shipping was two days and the company emailed me to tell me when they had left the building.
I usually never write reviews but I relied on reviews to purchase these shoes so I wanted to write one of my own.** I took the note about sizing into consideration and ordered a size up - I'm a 7.5 and ordered an 8.5. I probably could have gotten away with only going half a size up but I'm fine with a little room too for the most part.Good things first: I really love the look of these shoes. They're nice and slim but still have a hearty look to them. Of course the materials aren't as high-quality as the original Duck Boot from LL Bean, but they do a good enough job of representing a nice product. I also love that the toes are lined! My toes get so cold in the winter months (even in Texas) and I didn't find many knock off duck boot options with anything more than the exposed rubber, so these are awesome in that department. The laces and eyelets are also great! Often times, with cheaper boots, the eyelets are usually weak or misplaced, but I have no complaints here. There is little arch support but with ordering a size up, I could easily insert an insole to fix that. They're super cozy otherwise.Bad things: the bottoms of the shoes have been a little squeaky against most surfaces, which isn't a huge deal, but it is important to note. They're not completely flat either which is usually well known for these shoes, but something to keep in mind for those who are less steady on their feet. My biggest complaint and the reason for the 3-star-rating is buckling of the "leather." I like to lace my boots tight to both keep my pants tucked in, and also to keep them secure on my feet, but when tightly laced, the sides start to buckle. There seems to be too much fabric where the laces pull tighter together because even with a moderately tight lace, the sides touch. For one, this doesn't allow me to lace them as tight as I'd want, but it also causes the excess fabric to pinch outward. If you are okay with lacing them loosely (a slip on type of arrangement) then these would be okay, but I'm not 100% into that idea so I'm still deciding if I will even keep them at this point - I won't be wearing them during that decision period, don't worry.I attached photos of the "tight" lacing where the fabric folds, and the loose lacing option that works aesthetically.
A bit snug, but overall I really like these boots. They keep my feet dry, which was the main reason for buying them. The color is super cute, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. The held up well this past winter, and I live in a wintery place (upstate NY, its cold, and its very very snowy). Only downfall is they are a bit tight on my feet, but im hoping with more wear they will break in.
I ordered a size larger after reading the reviews and it fit perfectly! It is really good in the rain and snow; they kept my feet really warm. In the beginning the toe area was a little snug, but it shaped to my foot within a few times of wearing them. I ordered them used and they were absolutely perfect, would buy again!
Really good boots for the price! I got my normal size and they fit a little bit snug, I'm hoping they get a little looser with wear. My feet do slip out of the heel a little bit when walking though. If you want to wear thicker socks with them buy at least a half size up. The sides of the boots do kind of puff out a bit but it doesn't look that bad
