User Reviews
Boots run a little tight for size I would order a 1/2 size bigger. Bit very happy with the quality and price
I usually am an 8.5W and had to go with a 10 as the 9 was too narrow and tight. The shoes kept me dry while trekking through snow on the way to a glacier ice cave tour. The only thing wrong is the inside sole is made up of a material that eventually let's the cold through after 30" even though I was wearing Merino wool socks. Toes felt cold and though you the can still move it you can feel a limit because of the cold. I'm thinking of putting an extra layer like Dr. Scholls and see if it helps.
Boots are comfortable and the zipper makes them easy to put on.
Sizes run small from this company. Does not fit
I bought these for cold weather and easy to slip on and off with crutches
Have not had opp to wear yet... no more snow. Tried them on and they felt very comfie. Almost made me wish for more snow!!
Found these at my local shoe store and then checked Amazon after the fact. I normally wear a 9 1/2 wide. So I tried a 9 and couldn't even get my foot in, a 10 cut off my circulation, 11 was almost there. It ended up taking a 12 before the fit felt good. I'd be very reluctant to buy these online without trying them on first, quite the gamble.That being said they are substantial. Lots of insulation, very thick, and comfortable. The zipper has some heft to it and feels like it will last a long time.
Nice quality boots with aggressive sole for traction. Go up to the next full size for half sizes for a good fit. Boot is not as wide as the same size Kamik Icebreaker or Forester boots.
