When I pulled these boots out of the box I said "where are the boot liners?" There seemed to be nothing to these boots. The footbed was just simple and looked like a flipflop footbed. However, when I put them on and laced them up, they felt amazing! They are surprisingly warm and can accommodate a thick sock. Oh, and they are light! Definitely the lightest pair of footwear I have owned and that includes many pairs of sandals. I tell people they are my winter flip flops. Very happy with these.

Do not let the material and its construction discourage you! This is a great boot, it's different and having one in your closet won't hurt you at all. The rubber in the forefoot that wraps around the side keeps your feet nice and warm, it traps heat; I would say though that ventilation is therefore not that great. Like someone said before, this is like flip-flop for winter. The weight is also a plus, lightest thing on your feet.

I love these boots for the practicality. They are simple and easy to clean. Luckily this winter hasn't been bad and I haven't tried em out in the snow but i would recommend wool socks or extra layering for warmth. But they are great in the rain. I am a guy and haven't seen anyone else wear em but I get a lot of compliments for them.

Love this shoe and in in sole is so comfy. Because there is no half sizes I got the size 11 also to allow for thermal socks, but they still feel a little too big, Maybe I should have gotten a 10.

I usually wear an 8.5 and got an 8. They are a bit loose but that's usually how boots are to accommodate thick socks. I would highly recommend buying a pair to wear with these boots as they lack a liner. I've been wearing them in MN and wore gym socks. I found a sore on the bottom of one of my toes from frost bite. Wear thick socks for freezing temps. I'm still really glad I got these. They are profoundly lighter than Sorels yet still keep snow and slush out just as well. They look great and I've gotten lots of compliments. One issue I had was with the heel seem of my right boot. It chaffed a little the first few days I wore them but has now stopped. Awesome boots, just remember they aren't winter ready.

Love my Jimmy's! They compliment a lot of outfits so you can wear your rain boots and still look fashionable. Can be worn tied up and tight to the ankle (great for under pant legs) or loose and untied (great look for over skinny jeans). I receive compliments nearly every time I wear them from both women and men. Notable: Animal free (yay! vegan shoes), waterproof (yay! dry feet), washable and odor-resistant (yay! no smelly feet), microfleece (yay! no cold feet), shock absorbent (yay! comfy), & lightweight (yay! no trudging around in heavy, awkward rubber rain boots).

Purchased these shoes after seeing my husband's. These shoes are ULTRA light that it's hard to believe their even boots.(think Crocs but way more fashionable.) I wore them in Chicago when it snowed (with wool socks of course.) I'm normally size 5.5 (woman), and the size 3 (men)/size 5 (woman) fit perfectly. The shoes are not very breathable...so if you tend to get sweaty feet, then these aren't for you.

Conceptually, it sounds like a great idea for a shoe: lightweight, waterproof and stylish. However, in reality this boot suffers a few key flaws. The first is the sizing, which I've found to be way big. It's difficult to get a snug fit also because the boot shaft is too large as well. I ended up not lacing them up all the way and wrapping the excess lace around the shaft to get a secure fit. The other biggie is breathability, or specifically the lack of it. Expect clammy, sweaty feet after about an hour of wearing these. Also, the footbed can get slippery as a result of the material used, which is why they put little nubs on the bottom. Sweaty feet might not be that big of an issue with some good wicking socks, but the lack of insulation compounds the problem in sub-freezing temperatures. Imagine walking around with cold, wet feet all day long and you'll get the idea. Wool socks are a must. This shoe is great for: - wearing around town if your city goes crazy with the salt when it snows, - spring/summer rain storms, -intense mud/bog-like conditions. This shoe is not good for: - any type of physical endeavor, - situations where you need warmth, - hiking.
