I am so in love. These are the perfect boots. They are sleek, sexy, extremely well-crafted, and just all around awesome. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.

Every year I take a trip to Toronto the last week of Oct Every year I buy boots before I go. Last year after I purchased my Uggs, customer service told me to check out La Canadienne next year. I did and checked out the reviews on this boot on this website and the company's website. Bought these and walked 8 hours the first day. 6 hours the 2nd day. 6 hours the 3rd day. No blisters, no swelling, great boots!Loved them also because there were no zippers, laces or toggles. True to size. Wear a thin nylon sock so your feet don't sweat. La Canadienne will be my first choice next year (maybe again this year)!

I absolutely LOVE these boots! They are so comfortable. I loved them so much that I ordered the brown as well. They are worth every dollar!

These boots are darling! They are also the first pair of knee high boots that fit my calves; the microfiber leg is comfortable and fitted but not tight. As usual, outstanding customer service from Zappos! Thank you!

These shoes are amazingly comfortable! I will take them traveling (light weight) and don\'t need to break them in. The downside is that the shaft is narrow around the calf, so I wouldn\'t recommend this to someone that needs a roomier fit.

I bought these to use during a trip to New York City last week. I needed boots that could handle the cold/rain/snow, and most importantly - be stylish and comfortable enough to wear all week as I walked for miles around Manhattan. These did not disappoint! The fit around the ankle is a little looser than some people might like, but it didn't bother me at all. And you can't beat the price on these, especially considering the quality of the brand.

These boots are so fabulous! Great quality and style. VERY comfortable, too. I do a lot of standing at work for presentations and meeting facilitation and haven’t had any problems wearing these. The leg fits snuggly over my calves because of the stretchy microfiber. It also stays up and doesn’t slouch. And during our rather chilly and rainy Texas winter, they’ve kept me warm and dry. I love them - truly worth the investment. And Zappos is amazing - they arrived the next day!

Awesome boot, completely lives up to its billing. Comfortable for long distance walks, warm in the snow EVEN WITHOUT SOCKS!!! But not too hot for me, though I understand they might be for people with sweaty feet. I always have cold feet so when I read some reviews saying these were too hot I jumped on them. They look great with dresses to work, and just as good with jeans tucked in or over the top. In short, just about everything you could ask of a shoe/boot. FYI, these are the 4th pair of La Canadienne boots and I love them all.

I bought these shoes a year ago and wore them every day during my first winter (I only just moved to the east coast). They were perfect, they look great (especially with pants), kept me warm, held their shape, and looked fantastic after a hard cold year of wear and tear. The only thing that didn't hold up was the insole. After a year of hard labor, the insole started to disintegrate. Then comes in Zappos; I contact them and they sent me a new pair. La Canadienne, my love of you is only surpassed by my love of Zappos!

When wearing these boots, I am at my most fabulous. Not only are they stylish and comfortable, they fit over my capacious calves; a feat a dozen other boots could not conquer. Well worth every Canadian loonie!

I really like these boots. They are warm and waterproof. We experience frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall in the winter and these boots can handle those conditions with ease. The fabric was a little surprising but exceptionally comfortable. I would describe them as being like wearing a glove on your feet with soles. I can even wear them with nylons alone and still be comfortable and warm.

I have never spent this much for a pair of boots, but these are worth it! They look fabulous with a knee-length skirt or dress. They cannot be worn over jeans because the fabric is so sleek. The microfiber is different, but is just the look I was going for. These are more casual than leather. They are not for really cold weather though (fine for my mild CA winter). The boot allows for a low sock to be worn with them but probably not a thick, high sock. I normally wear a size 7 1/2, but the 8 I ordered was a perfect fit. These are great for people with narrow feet and calves. I'm not sure if they would work for wide calves. Overall, I love these boots and am now shopping for more skirts so I can show these off more often!

Love these boots! These boots were comfortable from the moment I put them on. It's like wearing a pair of sneakers. Look great either dressing up or down. Microfiber pull on fit my small calves nice and snug. A little more than I usually spend, but well worth it.

These La Canadienne Gaetana boots are the best boots I have ever bought. They are so comfortable, fit very well if you have thin calves, which I do. I love them and would highly recommend them to anyone with thin calves who wants a great fitting and wearing boot.

These boots are very beautiful and an excellent investment. I don't spend a lot of money on clothes, but shoes are different and I know that these boots will last at least 4 more winters. (I'm all about function meets fashion.) I have worn them in the pouring rain, no snow, yet!, and they perform wonderfully. They look chic and clean and provide some nice extra height. I don't have to worry about scuffing or wearing like a leather boot. The soles are a nice, durable plastic with treads for slippery conditions. They're professional for wearing to work with a suit, and I mean going to work in a blizzard, rain storm as well as dry, pleasant weather. They are also perfect for casual and dressy occasions. A dream boot, really! Some things to think about: This boot is truly for cold, snow and rain. If it's 60+ degrees outside, your feet will be too hot and sweaty. So, for those of you that are looking for that perfect fall boot, these may not be for you. These are for the gal who needs a cold fall/harsh winter boot. And for those who are not used to height, these may take a little getting used to in that way. (I think there are very similar others by this brand that are lower.) Last detail, I suggest cotton socks for comfort and cushion. If you can afford these, you are making a great investment for the next few years. Stay warm, classy and beautiful!

My legs look great!
I love La Canadienne, I must have 6 pairs of boots. These are my latest and they are great! Comfortable right from the start. The wedge is high but very stable, all day boots. Fitted legs, but not tight. A slight tendency to slip down 1/2" or so, but I have narrow calves.

Super comfy boot especially because I am not a fan of heels. But was just too narrow for me. Ordered in a 10 but wear a 10.5 and so then I ordered an 11 but still too narrow. Everything else about this boot was very nice. Sleek and pretty.

I have had 4 or 6 pair of La Canadienne boots over the years, and I love this brand. Most styles they offer are fully waterproof and live up to it. They are also extremely comfortable and well-made. This style didn't quite do it for me, though. I am petite with very thin calves and these were too loose. They are styled to be a fitted tight calf, but were not for me. They were also a little tall for me. For reference, I am 5'1" and around 95 lbs. These would be great for someone a little taller with a normal width calf.

The boots look good on, but flimsy otherwise. I had a pair of La Canadienne boots for several years and was looking for another similar pair with smaller circumference which was really hard to find. The boots I had before were suede. They looked and felt very nice and expensive. These boots are not suede or leather; For that reason I think these boots are way overpriced.
Also for someone like myself who lives in San Francisco or in other parts of CA the boots will work, but I don't think they would work for people who live in places with cold winters.

Beautiful boot, but not half as comfortable as my other pair of La Canadienne boots, from a few years ago. My old pair has a crepe rubber-like heel, thus very comfortable...these have a somewhat inexpensive plastic- looking wedge heel, uncomfortable after an hour or two. Too bad!

:The shoes are very comfortable, but on a short woman like I am (5'2) the bottom part looked bulky and awkward. They had to go back.

I loved almost everything about this boot, except the shape of the toe. I was hoping I could live with the shape of it and decided I could not. La Canadienne is a fantastic brand of wonderful quality. Sadly returning in the hopes a square-toed version appears in the future. I love La Canadienne and love Zappos!
