Very warm boots, I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear based on other's reviews, but not sure I needed that extra length.

Great boots in terms of warmth and waterproofing. I had a similar pair from 15years ago which I loved and finally broke apart this year. But the other reviewers are right in that you will probably have to size up a full size. I tried a half size and it was still too tight across the instep for me, tho my foot is not narrow.

I love these boots! They're very comfortable. They don't keep my feet quite as warm as I hoped, but my feet are still comfortable enough. I'm so happy I decided to purchase these! They are absolutely perfect for the days you want a comfy pair of boots to just throw on & get out the door.

Great boot, runs tight. 4 stars for the sizing. I'm normally an 8,8.5 and I had to order the 9. My foot is on the narrow side so I could have gone with the 8.5 but with thicker winter socks, I didn't have much toe wiggle room. The 9's fit way better in width but are a tiny bit loose in the heel so I gotta lace them tighter. Meh... nothing is perfect. I have yet to wear them so I can't say how warm they are but they feel pretty insulated.

Warm and comfortable women's boots. Toes just starting to get cold after 5 hours straight of watching kids outside skiing and hockey practice in single digit temps (just standing in the snow). Unfortunately I sized up a full size based on reviews- boots are definitely snug at first but pack out a bit after a few wears. Now a little loose for more active winter wear (snowshoeing etc). Consider regular size or 1/2 size up if you actually use your gear.

The size is very true and it's been good until now for the past 3 weeks. Scaled a star down for the reduced cover above

Got this for my wife for when we go snowshoeing. Works great. Good fit and her feet stayed dry and warm. Great price Too. Wish they had more colors though.

So warm yet heavy. These really for hiking in the snow. They run small. I recommend a whole size larger. They are so cute, but people notice that they are large boots. I think they look like clown shoes, BUT my feet are warm and dry!

Excellent purchase . Not great for walking long distances as they are heavy and bulky but very warm if you need to be in the snow. I'd advise wearing long socks due to tags and scratchy areas inside boots but with tall socks they're fine. Feet stayed dry and warm.

I haven't had the chance to use them yet, but walking around in them to make sure they fit feels great. These boots are so cute my mom got the same pair too but I'm a different color. I'm usually a size 9 to 9.5 so I got a 10 and it's a great size.

I usually wear 7 and I got a 7.5 after reading reviews. The 7.5 fit snug on my feet. They are more on the narrow side. My feet are more on the wide side so, they fit again, snug. Which I believe will be good bc they won't wobble on my feet when walking specially on deep snow like my older pair of Columbia used to, which would end up causing discomfort after walking for a while. I could've gone with size 8 but I suspect they would be wobbly like my older Columbias. I am also short 5'1" and I didn't want my feet looking huge like size 8 would probably cause.
They have pretty good insulation and I don't believe you'll need thick socks. I haven't worn them in snow yet but I am confident they will keep my normally cold feet warm and tosty.
I like that you can lace up half way and leave the top loose which looks cute when wearing pants tucked in the boots.
I looked at several other said "snow" boots in person and online but they don't have good grips like these do. Maybe it is too early into the year to find more better options?? Anyways, I hope they will really work for me.

Warm, seem well constructed, good grip on sole. I have narrow feet so have to cinch them down pretty tight and they still a little loose, despite being a good length (that's the only reason they get a 4 instead of 5 for me). They're certainly heavy duty, but not too insanely bulky to wear around town. Looking forward to testing their warmth in Fairbanks this winter!

Just purchased these boots for an upcoming trip to Yellowstone in December 2021. The boots are comfortable, have not had the chance to try them in the cold weather yet. Will follow up after December trip. Purchased them one half size up.

These are extremely warm and much easier to walk in than my Sorel's. There is a small area in the back that rubs on the back of my calf but I think it's because I have one calf that is bigger than the other. I am very happy with this purchase.

These were a close second to the boots I decided to keep. They felt a bit more bulky than what I eventually decided on. Quality boot, just a bit heavy for everyday use.

I think these look great in person, and have a really cute style, but it felt like wearing rubbery ski boots. If I needed a winter boot for walking around in snow all day these might be good - but they just felt so stiff and bulky for what I need. I ended up going for a more casual-style Sorel winter boot.
I'd also recommend:
