This mid-calf boot not only provides excellent comfort but also boasts impressive style. The memory foam footbed cradles your feet, making long walks feel effortless. Whether you're heading out for errands or meeting friends for a casual lunch, these boots will keep your feet feeling fantastic.
The All Terra Traction feature shines during rainy or slick conditions, helping you stay safe and secure with every step. Additionally, being accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association speaks volumes about the boot's ability to provide arch support and maintain proper foot alignment.
In terms of aesthetics, the Gunmetal color adds a trendy twist that can be paired with everything from jeans to dresses, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. However, if you're someone who prioritizes lightweight footwear, you may find these boots a tad heavier than others on the market.

User Reviews
I did not realize it zipped on the outside of the boot, for the Elderly, people with back issues, it may be hard to bend over to zip it up. Otherwise I love the boot. Looks nice with pants, warm in this cold weather and comfortable to walk in! And is a true fit
Boots came exactly as ordered and fit perfectly. My wife loves wearing them in the winter and doesn’t worry about slipping around in them. She highly recommends these boots as they are warm and nice looking.
This boot is light weight & very comfortable. I definitely recommend this boot. It’s also very stylish. It can be your winter go to boot for everyday wear. I got it to wear in the snow & it was perfect. It also can be a little dresser than some of your snow boots. Perfect for those lady’s to wear to work who live in colder temperatures & have lots of snow. Don’t miss out on this boot!!!
First I purchased a size 8 which is what I usually wear but it was a little short in the toe. So I exchanged it for an 8.5. It takes forever to get this boot in. I finally received the second pair and it fits perfect but the zipper on the right boot hangs up. I have to use vise grips to get it down. I'm going to try to make it work but if it's not okay within a month I will be sending it back for another exchange. And it will be next winter before I will receive them to wear them. 😩
Comfortable, can walk long distances, water resistant, warm………
These fit perfectly, but beware....they're not waterproof or water resistant. It says waterproof on the side of the boot (see picture). I am disappointed because they fit well and were warm. But on a rainy day, they were soaked! It's no fun having the spend the day wearing wet socks & boots til you can get home and change.
I loved the look of these boots and they fit perfect. What I didn’t like was the design of the zipper on the outside of the boot. When I put boots on I sit down and rest the boot in my knee to zip up the inside of the boot. With the zipper on the outside it’s impossible and I have to bend over. Not so bad with the dominate hand, but incredibly difficult with the other hand. On top of that the zipper kept getting stuck and I had to take the boot off fix the zipper and try again. Lots of wasted time, when the idea of these boots was to get outside for a quick walk. Never made it outside, totally defeating the purpose. Returned them.
I ordered this pair for throwing on in the winter with ease. The first pair I received the left zipper wouldn't come up. Had to return. Got a second pair and the zipper is better, but still fighting it a bit. Just seems not very well made. Also, the heel cups kind of get sin the way when you are going to slip them on. I'm a bit disappointed. Love the look and was looking forward to them, but my overall satisfaction is not great. I have other shoes from JBU and I do love those.
