Love these boots! Have been a fan of La Canadienne for a few years and past pairs of boots lasted about three New York City winters of constant wear and survived winters in Afghanistan and Russia. These are waterproof, tall, round toed (which I prefer) and I wore them right out of the box to a cocktail party. Looks sexy without the silliness of impractical heels that get caught in subway grates and pointy toes that squish. Very nice leather and waterproof. Expensive but with care will last you a few seasons.

Classic Comfortable Boot - This boot is more or less ideal if what you're looking for is high quality leather, clean lines, and major comfort. The inside of the boot is lined with microfiber that keeps you warm and cozy, and the leather upper keeps looking better with every wear. While the calf circumference on this boot is narrower than most others with similar styling, it will still be large on skinny calves - - I have average-to-skinny calves and they are perfect with or without pants tucked in. I highly recommend this boot!

Sleek waterproof boot! This is perfect for NYC, especially since it has been raining a lot. It keeps my feet dry, and I don't have to worry about ruining them. They are extremely comfortable to walk in, and I've been able to trudge around the city all day without any issues. The zipper area right above my ankles was bruising my legs when I first put it on, but it seems to have adjusted itself and isn't an issue now. The only concern I have is I recall seeing something in small print that said "Waterproof up to 6 months" which worries me but I'll deal with it when my toes start feeling damp. In terms of look, it is a basic brown knee-high leather boot. Versatile, looks good with anything, really.

Comfort and Style - I LOVE these boots! I have a bad back and thought I could never wear boots again, but I found these and they are soooo comfortable and look great that I wear them with everything...and look Great! Only one word is needed to describe these boots: Perfect! Definitely a worthy investment.

Pleased in Ohio - Classic leather boot and extremely comfortable. I wore them for the first time all day shopping downtown Chicago (w/jeans) and then to dinner (w/dressy skinny pants). My feet felt great! I have them in brown and received several compliments. Perfect for those with smaller calves. A definite "must have" for Midwest winters when you prefer not to look like Nanook of the North yet desire fashionable, warm, dry feet.

These boots are perfect - I love them. They are the perfect height-just below the knee. They are waterproof (for this winter at least). They have a round toe. They come in wide sizes and don't cause pain for my bunions. They have a simple look-no fussy buckles or straps. The heel is nice and low, but not flat. They are slim fitting in the calf. They are definitely NOT for those with wide calves. But if you have slim or medium calves they look great. I hate boots that are too loose in the calves-gives you that puss n boots look. These are worth the money.

I love these boots! At first I was disappointed, and almost sent them back, because I have thinner calves, and they sort of bulge out at the back, but I showed them to my very trendy 25 year old daughter and she liked them a lot, and told me to keep them. I'm glad she did, because they are extremely comfortable! I am a teacher and I walk and stand all day, so comfort is essential, and living in the Pacific Northwest, I need boots that can stand the rain and snow. These boots do it all, and they look great too!

Elegant and comfortable - Had many compliments on this sporty boot and was able to wear it in comfort all day the first day of use.

Great boot! Super comfortable, stylish classic boot. The fit is amazing and the color goes with everything. If you are looking for a serious cold weather boot for city that you can walk in for hours and hours, this is it. It would not work for someone with a large calf, however. The inside has some kind of memory foam, but the layer is so thin, it does not provide a lot of arch support. If you need an orthotic consider the Wide.

Almost the perfect boot - This is the most perfectly classic boot I've found. The only thing that kept me from buying it is the cut at the very top of the boot. The top is an angle cut: slightly higher on the outside of the boot. This part made the boot stick out too much at top, which wasn't the look I wanted. To me, it looked funny with skinny jeans tucked into them. Otherwise, the boot is stylish, well-made, and very comfortable.

Fits like a glove - I just returned home after buying these boots. I could have walked right out of the store with them on. The fit is perfect: comfortable in every way, dressy and casual at the same time, and warm without being overwhelmingly so. I can’t wait to wear them. I have been wearing a boot I bought in Florence, Italy almost 25 years ago! It is still a beautiful boot, but it was time to retire them. I just found a perfect replacement. Wish I could afford to buy a couple of others. Maybe next year. Thanks for a quality boot I think my feet will enjoy for several years!

Best boot ever! The most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Perfect fit, perfect shank height. Looks great. I get many compliments on them every time I wear them. Zappos customer service is the best, too!

La Canadienne Passion - Gorgeous boots. Very thick, soft leather. They fit a little big in the calf and are a little slouchy around the ankle but otherwise perfect! Very stable to walk in and very warm. Love them!

Fantastic Boots - I really love these boots. I bought for a business meeting in Canada. They were so comfortable and stylish with my long skirt during the day and they were warm going out at night. You could use a warm sock with them, but they were indeed waterproof. I am going to order in another color as well. Got many compliments as well.

Good everyday boot - This is a very comfortable, classic style everyday boot. Good for skirts or pants. Snug at calves, so not for big calves, and not a tuck-in-jean boot. I like the weather worry-free characteristic of this boot! Not for those needing more arch support.

Classic. This is a perfect riding boot, but one which adapts to a lot of different clothing styles. I ordered the Zahra boot at the same time, intending to keep only one, but I loved them both and now have two pairs of black boots, each of which have their own best uses.

Best tall boots ever! I have been on a quest for comfortable and elegant tall leather boots. I require simplicity, a trim-fitting ankle area, supple elegant leather, and a low comfortable heel. I got these yesterday in brown and was able to wear them all day today, a first! I have returned at least four other boots due to discomfort. These are fantastic. Now I will try them in black.

Beautiful, with one small flaw - Passion is a beautiful, very close-fitting boot. My foot is narrow, my legs skinny, but this boot hugs foot & leg up to the calf, where it gaps a bit. I would not buy any brand other than La Canadienne, because no others look so good and are also completely waterproof. These give any long skirt a wonderfully sophisticated appearance--they make for a transformation compared to the look long skirts had with the conventional knee-high leather boots I'd been wearing. The noteworthy flaw: when worn with stockings, the boots slightly snag and darken them on the inside near the zipper closure (even though the closure seems to be covered by a leather flap). When I tried the boots with a bare leg, I felt scratched on one leg. I hope these problems will lessen. Meanwhile, I'm wearing the boots mainly with knee socks, which don't show under long skirts. The boots should look great with very short skirts, which are my strong suit but which do require tights or stockings.
