Customer Reviews La Canadienne Blanche

This is my second pair of LaCanadienne Boots purchased over the past three years. Being 4'11' it is difficult to find a boot with a shaft short enough so as not to bruise my leg when seated. This Blanche is perfect in that regard. The arch did not feel quite right so I put in my bionic oath pad and the boot felt great. The ankle is extremely slim so no heavy boot socks along with a tucked pant.

These boots are wonderful! Great wide toe box, yet not frumpy! Accommodates my bunions well. Also like the short shaft height as a change from higher shaft length boots. Lady in my 50s who wants to look stylish but have feet that are more advanced in age.

Hands down, La Canadienne "Blanche" are some of the best boots I have purchased: comfortable out of the box, stylish, and practical. They look great dressed up or down and, more importantly, they kept my feet warm and dry and easily pack into my backpack carry-on. I agree with other reviewers that these boots are a better fit for those with slim ankles and calves. Usually, boots are a little wide for my petite frame, but these boots fit perfectly.

I got this model of boot several years ago and barely wore them, because it doesn't rain a lot where I live. But the last time it did, I put these on, stepped off a curb and immediately my feet were soaked -- the boots had completly cracked at the ball of the foot. Zappos couldn't do anything and I contacted the manufacturer and they shrugged their shoulders. I threw them away, and I would not buy another pair of these very expensive rain boots.

These boots are incredible! I bought two sizes, and was going to return one, but I love them so much, I am going to exchange the other for the right size, the exact same boot, and color. I got the red, and it is stunning, so comfortable, Love these boots, especially for very arthritic feet, these have been all over Europe, and are on their way again. Water resistant, warm, but not too hot, not bulky, and easily to dress up, or casual! Perfect, perfect, PERFECT! Happy Birthday to ME!

Gorgeous boots but the shaft is too tight for my calves over jeans. I'm 5 ft and 100 lbs with normal size calves. I'm reluctantly returning them.

I've had La Canadienne boots in the past and I like their style and quality. But now with my bunion even the WW a half size up from my usual was too short and too tight for my toes.

Very comfortable. I got the WW which isn't as wide as it sounds. It's more like a Wide in any other brand because La Canadienne runs small and narrow. The red patent leather is stylish. The boot isn't a proper knee high 00 a few inches lower. I'm a fan. I wish La Canadienne made more styles in WW and I wish they made shoes other than boots. Superior Product.

In case you ever wondered, yes, it is possible to fall in love with a foot. Love at first sight on the website. Then love at first feel again on my foot. I have a pre-bunion situation and neuropathy so finding any shoe...much less a stylish, traffic stopping patent leather pretty shoe has proven impossible...until Blanche. I got the WW width and honestly it isn't that wide. It's what any other brand would call a wide a best. Most shoes are far too narrow and that's why I have these foot problems to begin in. I wish Le Canadienne would make more styles in WW width. (Hint hint).

I've had fabulous luck with La Canadienne, but this one fit me differently from the others of the same size. It was extremely tight across the top of my foot, to the degree that I had trouble getting my foot all the way in. I really like the looks and of course the quality is fabulous, but I have to return them.

These boots are beautifully made and the footing is very comfortable. I have to return them because the circumference is too narrow. Luckily I already have another LaCanadienne pair on the way ;)

These were cute enough, but WAY too narrow for a WW. Tight in the shaft and saggy too. Not worth the price for me to try and widen them to fit.

Beautiful boots but not the most comfortable pair I've owned. First pair I bought was very narrow, so I bought the double wide next and while they are much better, they still don't feel very comfortable around the ankle (think uncomfortable when coming down the stairs). I'm still only wearing them around the house every few days to see if I can get used to the pinch or if I'll return them.

Happy with this boot! I have multiple foot issues and need orthodics in most shoes and a wide toe bed. I ordered a 7W (my usual size in La Canadienne). Seemed very stiff in front of the ankle and too narrow in the foot and toe area. Very bummed. Ordered 7WW but were too wide. So I retried the 7W without my orthodics while working at my desk. The leather began to soften and the space in the shoe felt roomier. Today I put my orthodics in they were comfortable. Nothing pressed. Also what I like and need is that this boot has stability (need after many sprained ankles and two broken feet). The heel is wide enough not to tip to the side easily. These can be dressed up or down. I have a large calf and they aren't easy to zip all the way up (and they're short). But I expect in time as with my other's they will soften and stretch more. I don't mind wearing them not zipped up all the way for now as long as my feet aren't in pain, look good and keep the rain out, I'm very happy. The leather is beautiful. Thanks to Zappos for accommodating my needs.

Very comfortable boot - cushioned foot bed & roomy toe box. Felt like I could put them on out of the box and wear them all day. Nice and fitted to my calf, which is hard to find in a waterproof boot. I'm sending back this leather pair but keeping the same boot in patent leather, which look more stylish to me than the plain leather.

I ordered these boots in a 6.5EE because other posters had suggested that--even though I usually wear a Medium width. They fit fine, although the forefoot was too flexible for me, and I didn't like the patent leather finish. I could have dealt with the flexibility with an insert, but I do wish it came in a burgundy leather. I'm sending them back.

Ordered a 9 WW and it's too narrow in the forefoot. Fits well in the heel and ankle. Just a little bit snug in the calf, which would be okay if the forefoot wasn't tight. WW should be really roomy. Otherwise nice boots. Very very squared off toe, though, you have to want the squared off toe look.

It KILLS me to have to return these gorgeous boots. The "candy apple red" color is beautiful and looks great dressed up or down. I have fairly slim calves and skinny ankles so they fit perfectly and look really sexy on. I have to return them because of the damn neuropathy in my feet. I'm am envious of the person who gets to own these boots!

Just received these boots and they are beautiful and comfortable. The boxed toe finally accommodates my wide feet but unfortunately, the calf is too narrow so they need to go back. My calves measure 14 inches and I am about 2 inches short of being able to zip them up. Very disappointed. I really wanted these to work.

Love these boots. I have every color. They're comfortable, classy and stylish. The reddish burgundy ones are absolutely beautiful. Love Love Love them. So worth the money. Please note: they run small in width so order a wider size.

What amazing boots! The waterproofing is fabulous. I stepped in a slushy icy puddle that was as deep as the side zipper. No water reached my foot. I wore them for walking all day in New York City and to work on my feet as a teacher. I am an 11 and they fit well. Also, Canadiens are great for skinny calves. If that is your problem, you have found your brand.

These were comfortable in the footbed which for me is a big challenge (high arches, orthotics, wide feet) but really tight in the calf so unfortunately they did not work for me. I followed others' advice and ordered extra wide and so the width was good. Nice styling and materials, I am disappointed that they did not work out.
