Overall: Comfort: Style:
This thirty something soccer mom of three loves these rain boots, especially for those wet morning or afternoon days at the soccer field! I am 5 feet tall and a size 7 1/2- 8 shoe, average build. I needed the size 8. I ordered both 7 1/2 and 8. The 7 1/2 was just too narrow at the ankle for me to comfortably get my foot in. The size 8 is not too big. This is a tall rain boot. But again, being on the petite side, it was not to tall. I do need to wear leggings or skinny jeans tucked into the boot as opposed to jeans over-the-top. It's a little bit hard to get the jeans over-the-top because the boots come up so high. The plum purple color is really a nice color. Lots of compliments out at the soccer fields!
These are very comfortable and very cute. I was looking for rain boots for a while and decided I didn't want to spend a ton for a label, I just wanted some good boots. Found them with these. Great deal, functional and fashionable. What more could you want?
Adorable. There are several reviews that indicate they are tight in the calf area & won't go over your pants. This is accurate...to start with. It's almost like they conform to your calf. Now, they are snug but comfortably so. My calves are normal sized, as I am 5'5 and 125lbs. If the snugness bothers you, roll your pants up & wear them underneath. They are way too cute to stay hidden. They offer great support & are true to size. I am 100% pleased with this purchase.
As some other people said, the calves on these are very tight. I have average calves and I felt like these were suction-cupped at the top. There would have been no way to wear these with anything thicker than tights. In addition the ankles on these are very big. It just doesn't look right. I also had to order a full size up and they fit just fine. The only good things I have to say are that the thick material looks like it would last and the removable insoles allowed me to put my own inserts without any problems.
I love the plum color and the overall look and styling. The fit on my foot is just fine and true to size. Unhappily, I find the place where the top of the boot hits my calf to be uncomfortable and since I want them for walking, I decided they just won't work. Reluctantly, I have decided to return them.
Absolutely love these boots! The color is definitely a neon green color, but I love it! I have gotten many compliments on them. They are also extremely comfortable; the first day I for them, I wore them around my dorm for 2 hours because I did not want to take them off. They are fitting around the calves, so wearing jeans with them should be a little interesting; however, at least I know water can't run down into the boots.
This is a great water sandal, very comfortable, dries quickly and priced well. Exactly what I was looking for!
I have wide, flat feet and what I thought were normal-sized calves, until I tried to buy a pair of rain boots. I'm picky about that slouchy part in between the ankles and calves on most rain boots and this one has the least amount of slack out of at least ten pairs I've tried. They have enough room for warm socks and jeans, but might not if you *actually* have large calves. This is the wide-calved boot for the normal-calved woman. Quality is great. Got a little scratched up, but wiped them down and they look like new. No wet feet or anything to complain about, but after 6-8 hours, they dig into my pinky toe a little bit, but nothing too bad. Would buy again.
I bought these for standing in the soccer field during the rainy Seattle spring. They've been great! Very comfortable and well made. I'm usually a 6 1/2, but I ordered a 7. They are a little roomy, but work well when I need a thicker sock. The buckle is a cute detail that makes it look like a more expensive boot.
Quite fitted across the foot which made it very difficult to remove, yet my heel slipped when I walked. I could not have worn socks with these. I normally wear a 6 in boots and ordered a 6. Don't believe a size up will help since my heel slipped. Besides, I want more room in the calf area so that more of my pants can tuck down. Don't believe I have large calves but have ordered a few rain boots and returned them b/c they are too snug in the calf area for your pants. Isn't that the point of rain boots? I want to protect my pants from the rain otherwise I'd just wear rain shoes.
Bright red does fit a big snug great looking on the leg. True to size keeps out water. Can easily be wiped clean. I also have Hunter boots which I love but these are just as great and you can buy two for the price of one. Win win.
I love the Kamik Jennifer boot...I have black, brown, grey, blue. I wear them all year round with socks...walk the dogs, hike with the dogs, plant, garden, walk in the creek. They hold up very well, rinse off with the hose. They are just as good or better than the Hunter only much less expensive. Great boot!
After ruining multiple pairs of shoes in the mud I decided I needed to get a pair of rain boots. I almost bought a pair of Hunters, but had issues with the obnoxious badge on the front and the fact they were made in China nagged at my conscience. Not to mention the high price. I came across the Kamik brand and decided to give them a try. I purchased the Jennifer and Olivia in size 8. I am usually a 7.5-8 in most shoes, running shoes I go up to an 8.5. I have fairly high arches, but I guess what you would call a skinny or low volume foot...no high instep here. I have thin ankles but large calves due to running. Mine are probably about 15.5 inches around, so I have an incredibly hard time finding boots that will fit. When I received the boots (the next day! Thanks Zappos!) Both boots were made well and didn't have a bad chemical odor. the rubber was soft and a nice matte shade. I got green in both models. I tried the Olivia first. I preferred that model initially because there was not any "stuff" on the boot other than the side buckle. It didn't work at all. Far too tight in the calf area and hit at an odd spot. I could get them on, but felt my legs getting kind of tingly numb after a bit. Next, the Jennifer. I was sure they would never fit as they do have a contoured leg and looked slim. But they fit! Felt good in the foot, came to right under my knee cap (I am 5'5" tall) and didn't irritate or abrade the backs of my knees when I sat. I was able to tuck skinny jeans in with a little effort. But after walking around for a bit, I got that slight tingly feeling again, both in my feet and legs. It was just ever so slightly too tight. I loved the feeling and look of the boots otherwise so I wondered if a size up might help. So I ordered the Jennifer in a 9 to see. Got them, and I must say it is almost perfect. Gave me just that little extra in the calf. The foot is slightly big, but I slipped an Ugg fleece insole in there and that made it cozy and fit better. I could never have put any sort of insole in the 8, and I actually prefer the feeling of the fleece. I could do without the ugly shield badge on the side, but it isn't a deal breaker. I did have to order my size 9 from another vendor because I was dead set on the green color and unfortunately Zappos didn't have them in stock. I would definitely order from Zappos had they been available. I've now worn these in the garden and to my kids trap meets out in muddy, swampy areas. My feet are warm and dry and I can just hose off the mud. I'm actually like a kid, because I walked through every single mud puddle just cause I could. My teenagers were so embarrassed. Good stuff! I'm also pleased that these boots were made in Canada, it's nice to support my neighbors to the North. They also will take your used boots back for recycling. One note: don't try to drive in these. I found it incredibly hard and could easily see an accident happening. I wear a pair of Birkenstock clogs, then switch out when I need to wear the boots.
I ordered these in a size 9 and a pair of Tretorn Langta Wide-calf boots at the same time. The Kamik Heidi is cuter than the Langta and I was really hoping it would fit in the calf, but unfortunately it did not. My calf at the widest part is 15-3/4" these boots do not go up to the widest part of my calf and they were still too small. I was really disappointed that there is no give at all in the top of the boots (no buckle, no elastic and no chance that the plastic will expand over time). I had to return them. I did try replacing them with the Kamik Naomi in a size 10 (I have never worn a size 10 in any shoe, ever) and they were too big in the foot, still too small in the calf. Sad day for me, but at least the Tretorns fit and they were cheaper.
A little disappointed how snug they fit around the calf (I don't have huge calves at all!). If your looking for a rain boot that is loose enough to tuck your slacks (yes slacks, NOT JEANS) into this is not the boot for you! However fits nicely w/ skinny jeans, leggings and/or tights. Comfort: Feels a little awkward to walk in but other than that they are okay. Cute yes, but not what I was looking for.
So comfy for us wide foot peeps. Large enough shaft to fit my work pants inside as well. The shiny black looks nice too!
Love these boots. I get lots of compliments. I have pretty small calves so they fit but not too roomy.
