Boot fit well in the length, but was a bit narrow. Felt after some time in cold weather my feet would get cold. Very lightweight, like a hiking shoe rather than a boot. Fabric upper seemed it would not hold up well in snow. As I needed something for colder weather and deeper snow I decided to return it. They are quite comfortable though! Would be good for walking around in a city or for work.

My toe was almost at the end of these and it also pinched my feet a little. I would order up half a size. As is, I'm going to return them.

The boot was cute, nothing to write home about, but cute. The fit is a FULL SIZE smaller than what I wear in any other shoe. I am a solid size 6 in every shoe I wear, Merrell, Adidas, Korks, Sorel, Born, the list goes on. So order one size up. I am most interested in the sticky soles, winter in Tahoe is slippery so I need all the help I can get to stay upright.

I usually wear shoes with a size of 23.5cm, and I thought I chose the right size. But actually it was much larger than I thought. So I decided to return and exchanged it with the one with a half size smaller (= 6.5). And it worked!

Loved the style, though they looked and felt cheaply made. The sizing was off. I'm usually between a size 9 1/2 - 10. The 10 was so big when I got up to walk around it slipped right off my foot. I was even wearing thick socks. I returned these for a higher quality boot.

These boots look okay enough, but they were narrow and small. There was no arch support at all. My flat Uggs feel more supportive than these from the compression of the wool. They also just felt cheap. Which they were, so there’s that.

The boot is nice looking, but it pinches my toe on the left foot and the boot is heavier than I like so I will be returning them.

Good basic snow boot, easy to put in and off. I wish they were a couple of inches taller for Mi. winters.

I bought a womens' size 12--the largest these come--and have found them to be a little snug in length and width. A friend who bought a pair says she wears them without socks, so I'll try that and see if they feel closer to size. They seem warm enough but hmmm, without socks? I'll find out soon enough! There is very little arch support so I have put in a set of Dr. Scholl's and that helps. The good thing about these is that they are lightweight, unlike a lot of winter boots. They are also pretty cute. All in all I like them but they aren't as good as I hoped.

Was hoping to like these. I order a half size up like as recommended by severeal reviewers and that was a mistake---they were ENORMOUS! I normally wear a 9 and should have sized down to the 8.5. I didn't love them enough to try again as I was looking for something with a bit more warmth. I sent these back and ordered the Ugg Adirondack and they were perfect.

These boots are extremely lightweight and water-proof. I walked through slushy snow and my socks were dry. However, they don't look as nice as in the picture. The top of the boots look almost identical, often I can't distinguish which side is which. They look more like a pair of walking braces. They make the heel noise when I walk. They also run big. I have to wear a pair of thick and a pair of thin socks to feel comfortable in them. They seem to be stretching too. I would have returned them had I not worn them already.

I wear an 8 and occasionally need a show with a wide toe box or an 8.5. I ordered an 8. They fit. They feel a wee bit short, cram my toe a little. I can't decide if they'll give enough to keep them. Nothing special about styling, they look a little like the interior of a European rental car -- stiff and basic. I wanted boots to protect my feet in moderately deep snow. These would do the trick.

I ordered my regular size 6 and with my heavy socks the fit is perfect. They feel a bit wide to me. I need more arch support than these boots have, but there is room to put supports in them and still feel comfortable. Boots feel nice and warm. A bit clunky feeling, but comfy. Style is great. Would be nice to have this style knee high. Great price!

I have had this boot now for 2 winters. I have found my feet stay fairly warm in them, but the traction is horrible. I noticed from day 1 that the traction was poor, and have found that I am always trying to catch myself from falling even on snow/slush I am fine walking on with sneakers.

I am a Florida girl who doesn't need or own waterproof winter wear, but I need shoes for an upcoming trip to Chicago in January. Nice looking shoe, but unfortunately the toe box hit my large toe knuckle right where my arthrisis bump is located. The size is probably correct for normal feet. Returning it back to zappos....

I loved the way these boots looked, but they are not for someone who needs a wide toe-box. Was so sad to have to return them.

I had a pair of Columbia boots previously and they lasted me 8 years...no joke! The sole started to be too worn to wear them safely on icey surfaces, so it was time for new. I thought these looked similar in style so gave them a try, just by viewing online. These are cute boots, nice height, not bulky or moon-booty, and fit correctly on my somewhat narrower foot. The ties are fully adjustable of course, so a wider foot would fit, but add socks and I would think they could be tight on some. I would call these a narrower boot in general. These have a nice footbed, though not the best, and are not as good/comfy as the prior boot I own by Columbia. I love the height - these will be good in an average snowfall. I have not had to wear them on ice yet, but they look to have good traction on the sole. Fingers crossed they are as warm and safe as my prior boots. The fur trim is only trim, and I was hoping it was the lining...it is not. The lining is thin, but I hope the scientifically and technologically warm one. :-) I like warm/thicker socks, so I got a 1/2 size up and I am glad I did that.

Wore them for the first time today after the most recent post Thanksgiving blizzard. I utilize 3/4 custom orthotics, and the boots are very comfortable with them inserted. There is no arch support without them. The boots are also lightweight, which is a plus if you plan to wear them for long periods of time, and are very warm even without thick wool socks. The drawback to these boots is that they are very slippery in icy, snowy weather. For example, if your city or town or campus has not done a great job salting after clearing snow and ice remains in patches on the ground, you are in trouble. I left work early today to avoid the freeze after sundown, after having to walk extra gingerly into the office this morning. Someone said you have to scuff up the bottoms, but they still have little to no traction. Maybe as time wears on.

Super cute boots, but I had to return them due to the snug fit in the toe box. I may still buy up a size to see if they would work. I am a hard to fit person as I have very wide feet and need a lot of support.

I love these, but they are NOT water proof. Water resistant, yes. They are pretty much brand new, and I wore them today. I walked around in some wet grass for a couple of hours. It wasn’t raining, and I didn’t walk through any puddles. When I got home and took them off, the tops of my socks were wet. In my opinion, this does not constitute water PROOF. Water proof means I can walk through puddles and come out with dry socks. Other than that, I love them and they are super warm!

This boot did feel a tad large, but with thick socks would be fine. Very cute but I could not get over how stiff and hard the sole was. ZERO arch support. I even placed a padded insole from another shoe inside to see if that would do the trick. Nope. Still hard and uncomfortable. Had high hopes this boot would be my go to winter shoe for rain and snow. Going back asap.
