Dunham

Cloud Waterproof

Men's

This is a basically fine shoe that has a fatal flaw -- the front of the sole (the area over the ball of the foot) is just too thin, and as a result you can feel rocks, roots, etc. right through the boot and it's unnerving and uncomfortable. Too bad -- otherwise the boot is very comfortable and feels like a true ultra-wide, which is what I need. This boot is fine for a smooth path or a sidewalk -- but not for a rugged trail.

Women with large feet, take note! I generally wear an 11 or 11.5 women's shoe, 12 in athletic shoes, with a narrow heel and wide ball. Unfortunately, women's hiking boots stop at size 11, and they run small - I ordered and returned an 11 from every single brand Zappo's carries because every last one was too short. Men's boots, however, present another problem - they are almost always too wide in the heel, and very few brands offer a narrow width. Except Dunham! I ordered these in a men's 11 narrow and they fit BEAUTIFULLY. The heel area hugs my foot perfectly, while the toe box is nice and wide (I love to be able to spread and wiggle my toes in shoes, and very few brands make the toe box wide enough to accommodate this). The men's 11 is maybe a little larger than I would choose in a tennis shoe, but for hiking it is perfect - will accommodate a thicker sock and insert. I agree with the other reviews stating that the cushioning under the ball of the foot seems thin, but an appropriate insert will solve that issue. The way the grommets are situated allows for optimal tightening of the laces at the ankle for an excellent, secure fit. Finally, while they are not as cute as women's styles, they are not hideously clunky and you won't feel like you're wearing your dad's work boots. I am thrilled to have found these!

This is the third pair of Cloud boots that I have owned. My go-to shoes for Minnesota fall/winter/spring. Use them in the summer when working in the pits at a race track. Have worn them when hiking on three continents. Durable and probably the most comfortable footwear that I have placed on my size 4E feet.

WAS LOOKING FOR A COMBO HIKING AND WINTER BOOT FOR MODERATE SNOWFALLS. HAVE 2 PAIRS OF DUNHAM CASUAL SHOES FOR WORK SO I KNEW I WAS GETTING A QUALITY BOOT THAT WOULD FIT PROPERLY.WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY SLIPPED RIGHT ON MY FEET AND FELT TRUE TO WIDTH. I HAVE A 8.5 4E AND THESE WERE PERFECT,ACTUALLY FELT A LITTLE WIDER THAN USUAL BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. THE LENGTH FELT A LITTLE BIGGER THAN MY SHOES SO I CALLED ZAPPOS AND THE AWESOME REP SAID HE WOULD SEND OUT THE 8 4E OVERNIGHT FOR ME TO COMPARE. AS PROMISED I RECEIVED THEM THE NEXT DAY AND MADE THE CONCLUSION THAT THE 8.5 4E, MY SIZE, WAS THE BETTER FIT. ZAPPOS AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED ME WITH THE RETURN SHIPPING LABEL AND THE FOLLOWING DAY THE 8 4E'S WERE BACK IN TRANSIT. TOOK THEM FOR A 2 MILE HIKE TODAY UP ANTHONY'S NOSE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. FOR THOSE OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS TRAIL YOU KNOW ITS STEEP AND ROCKY FOR THE FIRST 1/2 MILE OR SO. MY HIKING PARTNER ONLY HAD ON SNEAKERS AND SHE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME BALANCING AND GRIPPING. THESE SHOES WERE NOT ONLY COMFORTABLE THEY PROVIDED EXCELLENT ANKLE SUPPORT. FELT LIKE I HAD ALL TERRAIN TIRES ON MY FEET. THEIR LIGHTWEIGHT MADE THEM BARELY NOTICEABLE. GREAT SHOE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ON THE HIGHER END OF THE PRICE BRACKET, BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. COULDN'T TEST THE WATERPROOFNESS OF THEM. WINTER WILL SHOW ME THAT.

It is impossible for me to find boots that fit. I wear a B width, and I can usually choose between New Balance and SAS, and that's it. These are amazing, and a perfect fit, which is good, since they are only waterproof shoes in my size I can find. They do seem a little darker all around than they look in this photo, which I like! Also, they seem more like a waterproof walking shoe than a boot. The bottom is thinner and more flexible than other similar looking "boots". So they may not be ideal for hiking on rocky terrain. But for an everyday waterproof walking shoe in Seattle, they are perfect.
