Customer Reviews Kamik Fargo

I bought these boots for my husband for Christmas. He hasn't worn them yet, but did try them on. He wears a size 10, if you buy them, size up one size. 11's fit him fine. He says they felt good when he tried them on. The exchange system was very easy, and I am not good with computers. Zappos representatives were cheerful, courteous, and very helpful! I will definitely return to zappos.com in the future! Merry Christmas!

These are a boot I purchased for work. My old boots didn't have a full heel on it, so the ball of my foot would always get a huge blister. The full heel helped tremendously.

I bought these boots for my dad and he loves them. They are surprisingly light weight and held up well in the snow and rain. If you are going to buy, make sure you order a half size larger because they run a little small.

These have replaced a pair of Sorel Yoot Pak boots outgrown by my 13 year old. We live in Ohio and get our share of cold and snow, so winter boots are a necessity. The Sorels have been noticeably declining in quality for the last several years so we went with Kamiks this time. Seems like a good choice. I recommend buying a half or whole size bigger than your street shoes, which is what we did and they fit perfectly. Just the right amount of space to accommodate warm socks and a little room to grow. Time will tell if they hold up, but they seem reasonably well made and odds are good that they will be outgrown before they are outworn. My son has already worn them camping in 20 degree weather that included snow and sleet. He reported that they were warm and comfortable, and he likes the way they look, so that's a winner in our book. Judging from the insulation, I doubt they would handle -40 temps as advertised but they should be fine for Ohio winters.

The boots are very comfortable but also very large. They seem a little wide. But they are very warm and excellent for the snow.

For once it felt good to have an actual winter boot that didn't need liners. Also I have size 14 feet...which the boot fit perfectly. Overall good boot, good shopping experience.

Used this the first time for winter camping and my feet were warm all day.

Seemed a little clunky.

The boot was great but whoever added the laces was on something!! The boot worked well for cold N. Minnesota winter break but the laces are about 10 foot long (plus made of cheap stuff so they are starting to fray after 10-20 uses). So plan on getting some shorter laces = say 32" rather than the 180' ones supplied

The boots are warm and comfortable. However after 3 years, the right boot's rubber side split apart.

I ordered this Kamik Fargo boot and the Sorel Cold Mountain boot, both 1/2 size larger than I usually wear, because they are very similar in style and were both rated pretty high. When I put this boot on it felt just a little bit narrow on my foot,though I do have slightly wider feet. The weirdest thing about this boot is that the sole felt very rigid, no flexibility, and you feel like you are clomping around on blocks in these boots. They seemed pretty comfortable and like they would keep your feet warm. They had crazy long laces though, like who needs that long of laces to tie a knot? The Sorel boot had a much bigger toe box and was much more comfortable to wear and most importantly, was way more flexible in the sole. Also, I didn't feel like my heel was coming out with every step like the Kamik Fargo boot did. So when compared side by side, this Kamik boot was not as comfortable as the Sorel Cold Mountain boot and I will definitely be sending this boot back. Perhaps this boot would be a good "work" boot but not for my needs of a good snow boot for shoveling, hiking, sledding, walking in cold snowy conditions.

I will echo what others said about this boot. My heel lifted up off the floor of the boot every time my foot bent to take a step. I suppose it might have been a different story if I had a whole size smaller, but the toe felt like it fit pretty well, so I would expect then I'd just have had other problems with them being too tight. I really wanted to like these boots, but the molded part just wasn't shaped correctly for my foot.

I bought these for traveling in the northern US throughout the winter, I needed something that would look okay with a suit and these did the job - obviously they're still snowboots, but they are sleek enough where I could get away with it. Unfortunately I found after wearing them in the snow for a couple days that the actual sole of the boot is pretty thin and they didn't do well keeping my feet warm in the snow - it was okay when there wasn't snow on the ground, but walking in and through snow my feet got very cold. They are very waterproof - I have traipsed through puddles and slush 4 inches deep and my feet have stayed dry - the only complaint I have is the insulation.

Gave as a gift to my husband, here is his take: Fit was good, size was good. Sent back because both boots were defective. One leaked right through the sole. The other had a speed hook that popped off on the second use. They have great potential and were very comfortable and warm - just either I got a poorly put together pair or I wouldn't recommend due to quality control issues.

I generally like this boot. So, why the two star overall rating? I bought the boot in late October. It is now the first week of February, which means I had it for a total of about 12 weeks. I walk about 40-45 miles per week. The soles on this boot are basically completely shot, worn down, gone. Time to buy a new pair of boots. At $90, I think that they should last longer than 12 weeks or less than 500 miles walked.

Only had worn boots 5 or 6 times when I noticed my right foot was feeling wet the next time I wore them, wasn't too happy about that considering I only had them a couple of months and had just started wearing them due to having a mild winter.

Theses Fargo boots are not at all flexible and are clunky for walking. I wouldn’t think of driving with them on as someone said they did in a review. The Kamik Canuck boots did flex in video and probably would be easier to walk in.

These boots were wonderful for a couple of months and then they broke. The stitching (or is it glue?) between the fabric at the top and the rubberized bottom came apart, turning my warm waterproof boots into wet cold sad feet boots. Maybe I got a dud pair, but I am not getting the same thing as a replacement. Needless to say, Zappos was excellent with their customer service.

Not worth the money. They leak. Eyelets break. I am returning. Hooray for Zappos Return policy. I do not get stuck with worthless footwear.

Hate to bash something that comes faulty, but have to. Got these boots just in time for the wonderful Minnesota winter. Seemed comfortable, liked the style. Went to lace them up for the first time and the top lace hook popped out of the leather. Was not even pulling hard. Sure it was faulty, but they do look like this could be a problem in the long-run on boots that are made correctly. Now have to deal with no boots for a few more weeks while waiting for a different brand. Giving it 2 stars since I don't want to bring the rating down if this was freak occurrence.

I bought these for work. The first rainfall that I wore them in was an average rainfall. After a while, my toes on both feet got wet. Not soaked but wet. These are not waterproof.

The c shaped grommet for the shoe lace pulled off the boot after the first wear.

Actual size is much smaller, size 14 more like a 13 or smaller. Also ordered a size 14 at the same time, another manufacturer's shoe, fits fine.
