Kamik Women's Heidi Rain Boot Review

I waited awhile to write a review. I originally purchased these boots to muck my horse stalls, which they are perfect for that task. However, they are also my favorite go to rain boot during the horrible Florida rain storms. I get so many compliments about the color, which I purchased the red. They are a nice deep burgundy red, not fire engine red. I love these boots and they are 100% water proof. They go high enough to keep all water out ,but not too high. They fit mid calf. They are good for all seasons just wear a heavier sock in the winter. Definitely try these boots. Excellent purchase, great price, very comfortable, very good product. Pretty fashionable too.

UPDATE!: I've had these boots for 3 years now, my original review is below. These boots are fantastic. I've worn them many many many times. In the yard, working in the garden, out and about when the weather is bad, walking the dogs, and to an outdoor music fest where the mud was (I kid you not) nearly knee deep. No matter how dirty they get I just rinse/hose them off and they look like new again! They haven't leaked or torn. Maybe they aren't as shiny - but they've been through a lot! If someone wants a pair just for commuting or for running errands, these boots if worn just for sidewalk adventures would probably retain their gloss and nice look for years. The inner foot liner came out of the R side, I just tuck it back in and if I get around to adding some strong glue it'll stay, I'm sure. Overall after 3 years of wearing these boots all over and many, many, many times I absolutely highly recommend these boots!!!Original Review: I highly recommend these Kamik waterproof rain boots. I purchased these boots to use when walking the dogs, walking out in the yard when there's rain/heavy dew/mud, and running errands/going out in sloppy weather. These are perfect for all those uses. They are equally as good in country fields and grass as they are on a city sidewalk.SIZE: I wear a 9.5 Women's shoe, I ordered these in a size 10 and they fit great. Very comfortable with a regular sock and enough wiggle room to allow for a thicker boot sock if desired. I have average width feet and the width of this boot was just fine. My calves are average sized and the boots aren't tight around my calves.CONSTRUCTION: Kamik makes quality boots. This is my second pair of Kamik boots (the other pair are winter boots). The material is waterproof and flexible while still holding the shape of boot very well (no "falling down" around the calf). The soles are sturdy and the treads provide traction in sloppy weather. I've worn these boots in heavy rain and they are definitely waterproof.STYLE: These boots look good. Jeans with a boot cut will fit over the top and the bottom of the boot looks nice. Jeans/pants can also be tucked into the boots without them feeling tight and that's a good look as well. The boots look good enough to wear with a casual skirt/dress. I ordered the boots in red, they are shiny, a true red color, and I've received many compliments on them. These are very good looking rain boots.WARMTH: A surprising bonus is how warm these boots are. I wore them for several hours straight during a heavy rain in temperatures just above freezing and even with a regular sock my feet stayed warm and dry. I haven't worn these in the snow yet - however based on how warm they are in near freezing weather, I'm expecting that with a thicker sock they will be able to keep my feet warm in snow even though these are a rain boot and not a "winter" boot.COMFORT: I've worn these boots for several hours at a time and they have been absolutely comfortable.

I don’t usually write reviews unless I am impressed or appalled by a product...thankfully, this time I am impressed! I ordered a 10, which I usually wear, but I have a high arch and wide toes and it is always a challenge to find any boots or shoes that aren’t stretchy that fit comfortably. Since a lot of styles don’t come in wide width, I either have to have my feet crowded, or deal with my heel slipping up and down because when I get a larger size to accommodate the width, it is too long. With that being said, the 10 was quite tight, so I exchanged for the 11, expecting it to be too long, but it fits like a glove! I love that these fit more like an expensive , designer boot rather than other clunky, rubber rainboots. I tried on many styles in stores before resorting to ordering online and everything I tried felt like thin, cheap rubber and chunky, heavy, soles like I wouldn’t want to spend any amount of time walking in them. The soles on these are great quality and appear to have a great, almost seamless seal to the rest of the rest of the boot. I love the sleek, glossy look of these, without any buckles or extra rubber flaps like most other styles I tried. I was concerned because other reviewers mentioned the calves being too tight, and I do sometimes need wide calf in leather boots, but these worked fine for me since they’re not as tall. They are definitely snug on the legs, but not enough to be uncomfortable and I have room to wear thick leggings or jeans underneath. I also love that the boots have the lining on the rim, so if I wanted to wear these with shorts in the summer, they glide smoothly and don’t chafe on the calves. I am curious to see if the clear rubber will get cloudy or stained over time if worn in a lot of mud, but I’m mainly planning to wear these on outings around town since they’re so pretty! I wanted a brighter red, so at first I wasn’t crazy about this dark, almost wine color, but it is growing on me and I think it will actually be easier to match to outfits and looks more expensive.
