User Reviews
The boot is very comfortable and fit to size.
Boy, these sure do not look wide, but they fit!! I sometimes have to size up as W shoes tend to fit snug & WW shoes tend to fit too big. I bought these true to size & they fit perfectly. So much so, I didn’t bother to change out of them for work. Today was rainy & they held up, but it was my first time wearing them. Time will tell if they hold up to NY winters.
Great boot. Good soles and the side zip is a huge plus
I have not worn them yet. However, size is true to size and they are lightweight. Not bulky.
These were a surprise for me. My feet are narrow. These boots have a zipper. Because with narrow feet, I must lace up tightly and the zipper is so important. I can leave the laces cinched up at the desired snugness and unzip to remove the boot. Thank you JUB
Tried these boots out on a ski slope this weekend and they didn’t disappoint! Kept me dry, warm and had great traction.
These don't look wide but they fit fine. Very cushiony around the ankle and adjustable with the ties to keep snow and cold out. The padding/insulation is thinner around the foot, though very soft. I can't really feel the memory foam footbed and there is no arch support. Other Jambu boots have thicker, removable insoles with better arch support (the "Dottie" boot) I wish these were like the Dottie boot footbed better than this one. However, there is more toe height in these. I can probably add insoles. These are nice looking and comfy otherwise.
Arrived on time. It hasn’t snowed yet to put them through the waterproofing test. They are comfy.
