Kamik Reviews
Very, very warm, great for serious snow and cold weather. Not super for arch support, but if that's not necessary for you, this is a great boot.
These are great boots! They fit well and I love that they are made of re-cycled material.
First, I'd like to note that even though it will say I'm from New Orleans, I purchased these boots for use while I'm living in South Korea, which has some brutally cold winters. Now, on to the review...I purchased these boots as a last resort, after the other pair that I ordered (Khombu Arctic Zip) didn't work out for me because of a design defect (the seam where the rubber meets the suede can be felt and rubbed against the back of my ankle at every step). The company needs to seriously reevaluate it's temperature rating. There is absolutely no way that these boots are temperature rated as indicated, because I've worn two pair of socks with them, one of which was wool, and my feet were still freezing. I was so disappointed because at that point I could not return them as they'd already been worn. Also, these shoes have very little grip on them. So, if you're looking to wear them in an area with a lot of snow and ice, please purchase a different boot. You can easily bust your butt in these, as I almost have on several occasions. The only thing that I really like about these boots is that they are comfortable and have a side zipper, which makes them easy to take off. They are not very attractive/stylish, but I wear them because I couldn't return them. I'll definitely be sporting something else next winter.
These boots are what I have been searching for the last 3 winters. Rugged durable and do warm my foot sweats. Great value!
These boots are super comfortable, but really thin in the soles. I could feel every little thing I stepped on. The boot is soft and flexible like a slipper though, and feels like it would keep my feet warm in the snow. One odd thing is that the left boot is made with a completely different leather. It is stiffer and a little shinier.I had to send these back because of the super thin soles. If I lived in the city and was just going to walk around on the sidewalk I would've kept them. I live in the country where I am walking around on all sorts of ice chunks, rocks, and other things, and I don't want to feel every little thing.
I returned them. Definitely order a size up. I ordered a 9 and the footbed fit okay with big socks, but it's a clumsy boot. The foot shape is lumpy, and there's a whole lot of lace adjustments to fit it on the calf. I have scrawny calves, so it could be me, but it felt like I was trying to strap a giant quilt on. Maybe on a smaller foot it'd be cute. Solid construction, and seems warm.
I bought these in order to help at an animal sanctuary that has lots of mud. These boots are great! Substantial but not heavy, and comfy, too. The handles are a great feature.
Great rain boot. I chose these on an exchange of a Christmas present which fit too tightly, although it was technically my size. So I knew to order a size larger and they fit great. They are comfortable. Wore them to a construction site recently where there was a lot of mud and they protected my feet and legs as well as were comfortable enough to step on and over large items and up and down steps that weren't so sturdy. Love the design also. I wear them truly as rain boots and never wear them as "fashion", but get comments about the unique design all the time.

I love these boots. They are the perfect thing for walking across the beach in winter or bumming around town. They are lightweight, waterproof and warm enough for casual winter wear. I don't think they would be warm enough for -25 F as my toes start to get cold even in temps above 20 F. They run a little big but are still comfortable and they have room if you want to wear extra thick socks on cold days. My husband is very jealous of these.
These ran just a little small, so I needed the next size up. Once in the correct size, they were very comfortable and seem quite durable so far.
These boots are snug! The color is more "periwinkle" than "charcoal." It's a lighter grey than I expected from the photo, but it's less gloomy that way. I needed a nicer, durable rain boot to wear to work, mostly, and these are perfect. I usually only wear skirts to work, so the narrow leg is lovely, making me look professional and sleek, rather than stomping around. It only fits with the skinniest of jeans, though.
Perfect for snow days in the city! Feet stay dry and warm. Wouldn't recommend them for long hikes - not much arch support. But they are perfect for playing in snow and getting to and from work/school/errands/whatever. Went half a size up so I could wear thick socks with them and they fit well with room to wiggle my toes.
Great snow boot. Order at least one full size bigger than what you normally wear. I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and the 10 fit me perfectly in this boot. I also have wide feet.
Zappos did deliver about 2 weeks. They are fun, however not the comfort that I would have expected. The grey color is a dull grey, and they run narrow up the leg so if you have a bigger calf it may not be comfortable.
I liked these boots, the color was nice, and they actually fit my foot well. However, I have big calves, and they pinched into my calves, so unfortunately I will be returning them.
I like these boots but the one drawback, which is huge in my opinion, is that the top of the boots is extra wide and it is almost impossible to fit them under my snowsuit. The pack boots I previously owned fit snug but not like these. If you're not trying to fit the leg of your suit over them, you'll be okay. I feel that if I continue trying to fit the snow pants legs over these boots the zippers will blow out.
You won't necessarily be making any fashion statements with these boots, but your feet will definitely stay toasty-warm and dry. Best part too - they're made in the US, so by buying them, you're supporting your local economy (if you live in the US, that is).
Great shoes! They are a little wider around the calf than some of the other Kamik rain boots I have tried on, which is nice. They stay completely dry on the inside and are very easy to walk in.
