I just got these boots and love them so far!! Great quality and craftsmanship! My foot is narrow between a 6.5/7 and I purchased some Sorel wedge boots in December and 7.5 fit great allowing me to wear thicker socks. That was not the case with these. The 7.5 were too big, my heel kept slipping and I couldn’t walk in them right. Zappos was so great with the exchange for a size 7. They sent them out right away and the size 7 fits great with my wool socks. With thin socks they fit okay but feel kind of loose. I purchased Ugg size 7 sheepskin insoles to go inside for extra warmth but with my wool socks, no way, super tight. With my thin socks and the Ugg insoles it also feels very snug and I know the insole will flatten with time but I don’t think flat enough to feel comfortable so the insoles will be going back. So if you’re in between sizes I would say go a half size smaller. As other reviews mentioned they take a little bit of effort to come off but it’s not too bad. I got color Honest Beige, beautiful color. I’ve read mixed reviews on the warmth of these boots, so I hope they keep my feet warm. ??

Got these and absolutely love them. They haven't gone in the snow yet but they look and feel comfortable. I'm sure they will do just fine.

I bought these as a gift for my sister as she was going skiing. It ended up raining and she was SO thankful for these boots. She said she & her husband, who has male version of the same ones, were the only people in their group that had dry feet after wearing all day and into the night.

I love these boots. They are cozy and stylish. I had to exchange them for a size larger as I could barely fit them over my scantily clad foot. I could have possibly gotten away with a half size bigger, but will be wearing big socks so it's fine. The return process was so easy!

I did my homework before buying these studying reviews for the warmest and best women's boots out there and these did not disappoint or under deliver. They are so warm for our Wisconsin weather, great for walking in, and possibly the first boot that my foot hasn't gotten cold in after hours of being outside.

I was so excited to be gifted these boots for the holidays. They were not perfectly comfortable, but they seemed warm enough and comfortable enough to get through the winter months. However, once the snow was more than an inch or two, they leak. Within minutes of walking in snow, just above the rubber lip, the inside gets wet, and then I must remove the liner and have them dry for a few hours, before I have dry boots again. Obviously, these are NOT waterproof. Far from it. For the price, I expect to get a product that I can rely on. Now I look at the "warranty" and they want me to clean and send both boots back? They are faulty, and I do not believe the company would do the work to actually fix the issue. I live on a farm as well so cleaning the boots enough to return would be more work for me, on again a faulty boot! My sister who purchased them said "before you wear them, step in to 5 inches of water, and see what happens" I did not want to do this, that sounds detrimental to the boots. I guess I should have done that though, and then I would have been able to send them back as faulty right away, only having to dry them thoroughly. So, I am going to wear faulty boots, and hope the company eventually contacts me to rectify this major issue. So far, chatting with an agent did nothing. I have to do more work, and contact another department during the week. Kind of ridiculous to get the run around from such a well known company. I am a single mom, I don't have time to go chasing after a company that no longer cares about the quality they once were known for. Please notice that most positive reviews are not on what matters, but on looks and such. The negative ones show the quality issues. I have size 9.5 in Black Quarry.

I have had these boots for about 3 winters now. They keep my feet warm and dry which is great, but they are so wide! I do not have wide feet, so they feel very clunky when I wear them even with my thick warm socks. I definitely cannot drive while wearing them.

This is the second pair I have owned as they are not only comfortable, but keep my feet warm and dry. I go walking long distances and they do not cause me any blisters. Warmth is one of my most important features as my feet tend to get cold, but these are worth the cost.

It took my four or five wears to break them in. The ankle starts out very stiff. I would recommend bandaids on your Achilles the first couple wears. I have large calves but they still fit comfortably. Otherwise super warm and sturdy. Haven't gotten a chance to try them in the snow yet

These keep my feet so warm! At first I was a little weary of how tall they are (because I'm short and normally taller boots just end up being kinda clunky for me to walk around in) but they are perfect! They aren't clunky and they're tall enough that snow still doesn't get in them if your feet sink down into the snow!

Bought these, after many years of LL Bean boots not keeping my feet warm. I have tiny feet and the Sorels hug them better. Plus the height is great for the big snowfalls we get, here in Vermont!

I have been covering these boots for a couple years. I finally bought them and as expected they are so cute! However, they dig in to the back of my ankle so badly. I don't know if it's a matter of breaking them in but they are super painful. And it's not like a rubbing blister type issue it's a more of a thick leather bend of the ankle digging in. This continues despite sick choice and different leasing strategies. It's a lot of $$$ to spend on a pair of boots that I'm not sure I'll be able to wear.

It's a fashionable winter boots. But it's difficult to put on and take off. And it's a bit heavy, not good for wearing it for walking around whole day. But it's nice for heavy snow day.

Replaced my 12 year old Sorel boots and decided to pretty-up my new pair. There was no "break-in" time - comfortable from the first time I put them on. Warm, good traction, and stylish on top of that. No longer do I look like I'm wearing my husband's clunky boots!

These boots are extremely comfy and warm. From a fashion standpoint they are super cute. Two drawbacks, one, they are really wide. I had to check twice I thought I bought a men's boot and second, they are pretty heavy in weight. I did buy a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly

Bought these for my teenage daughter and she loves them! They fit a bit snug so we had to exchange for half size bigger than expected but other than that she says they are very warm.
