Customer Reviews Propet Blizzard Ankle Zip

So I read the reviews regarding how this particular model of Propet runs smaller and narrower and took the plunge. I normally wear a 12 x (3E) but with these I ordered the 13 XX (5E) and they fit absolutely perfectly with no slop. A bit odd that I can order a 12 x (3E) with other Propets and they fit fine. Go figure.

The width was OK... the zip up part seems too high on my arch to be comfortable. It may stretch in time to fit comfortably. I can leave it a bit unzipped for now as the rest of the shoe seems to be a good fit.

Shoe is very well made. Quality materials. Size and width were true to size. Limited arch support. Comfort is ok, but could be better. Shoe is a little heavy.

Great looking shoes, wider than I expected.

Comfortable. Warm. They fit. Good traction. Hopefully they last.

I had to order the widest option and a full size up. I'm normally a 10.5 and had to order an 11.5 and extra wide. They are relatively comfortable but be careful on tile floors when they are wet, it's like walking on ice. SERIOUSLY!! BE CAREFUL!!

These shoes are good quality, but run a full size larger than marked.

I am writing this for my boyfriend that I purchased them for. Well, we had some problems with the size and width of these. First, we ordered his normal size 9.5M and they were too large and the width we were not sure of then. Returned them, and ordered 9M and the width was tight so we returned them and ordered 9 (3EEE) and they were still tight in the width. Now, we are waiting on the 9 (5EEEEE) and hope they fit. He really liked the look and construction of the boots but are a little heavy. I will let you know.

I really like these boots for wet weather use. Due to the reviews I read, I ordered my size and a half size up, both of which were too big. I then ordered a half and full size down and guess what? The full size down fits well. I am a tried and true 10.5 and am wearing these in a 9.5. I'm not sure how others are saying these run small, unless it's a quality control issue at the manufacturer. Otherwise, great boot and seems well made. I would order again.

I've recently switched to wearing a wide shoe after being a 9.5 regular my whole life. I order these in a 10-5e after reading the reviews about how small they ran, but they were too large. So I ordered a 10-3e which fits great. If these were shoes and not boots, I would probably go down to a 9.5-3e but I actually want the boots to be a bit loose fitting.

Wanted something warm, grippy, and easy to slip on when storm hits. Have an old pair of traditional un-insulated LL Bean duck boots, they still fit great, but fussy to get on with all the lacing and there is the annual conditioning of the leather too (bee's wax). I'm a decades long wearer of Merrell Jungle Mocs in 10 1/2 Wide. I found the Ankle Zip to run rather narrow, had to use a shoehorn for first time ever to even get the 10.5 - 5E version on. Certainly no room for thick socks or arch supports. I'm returning the 10.5 and ordered up a half-size to 11 - 5E. Those did the trick, normal crew socks slip in, room for arch support. Seem to be well made and insulated. The zipper can be sticky at first, but just work it back and forth before first wear. The sole seems to have nice grip, but is stiff and may need a bit of breaking in insides and in good weather to be ready for the next storm. Hoping to get years of use. Will follow up if any issues.

They fit pretty well. I'm used to being able to snug them to size with laces, but overall the fit was good. Being waterproof, they are not very flexible, and it took a while to adjust to that - it's like the videos you see of dogs with shoes on - they lift their feet very high? It felt kind of like that, but I adjusted after a while. The build of the shoes is very good, and they will be ideal for bad weather. Once I got some insoles for them, they felt better (arch support!) and more comfortable. I'd definitely recommend them. (I actually had 2 co-workers ask about them when they arrived, and told them the same thing). Good shoes!

They are too small

The overall size was fine, the width was considerably more narrow than that expected. I normally ware a triple E, however the 5 E fit perfect. I put these on the first day they arrived and have worn them for 3 days straight in slops slush and slippery snow and ice. the traction is good warmth is reasonable, great from my purpose.

I have short wide foot. I bought the 3E first. It was fine length wise but could not zip up the shoe. Returned them for the 5E size. Perfect. In New Balance Cross Trainers I wear a 8 4E. Winter shoes I get 1/2" larger for thick socks. These fit perfect with a heavy wool sock.

These shoes slip on and off very easily. With one pair of socks my ankles slide a bit.With two pair of socks they are perfect. Even with the sliding ankle they are quite comfortable. I have a wide foot and the ww (5E) are perfect.They have good traction on snow and seem waterproof. I am pleased with this shoe.

one shoe was almost a size larger

Good fit on the length = too narrow to zip up - sadly had to return them

Fit around ankle was too tall and hit just below my ankle bones. Would have caused problems with my ankles and the back of my foot from pressure and rubbing.

Fit and size were as expected. Shoe was more rigid that expected so I didn't think it would "break in".

Light and good looking shoe, sole won’t bend so interesting trying to walk on these. Wore them on mud so keeping them...

To zip up is difficult. Very tight across the top of the foot. Not enough room to put foot in. Made for Asian people not American's. Once on, they fit fine.

Basically, Chinese shoes which arrived stiff and uncomfortable. A bit too tight, but looked good...

Ordered both a 9.5 and 10 size in a wide width. Shoes were too narrow and should have ordered the Doublewide. I had a hard time getting my foot into the shoe.

The boot does not work with my high instep. Also the insole is kind of hard. Just did not feel comfy at all.
