I received these boots today. I typically wear a 7.5, but ordered an 8 based upon the reviews. I'm glad I did. The 8 fit perfectly and left just enough room for wearing thicker socks. The boots are lightweight, comfortable, and fashionable. I need boots for everyday wear, especially in bad weather (snow, rain, mud), but did not want a pair that were ugly, heavy, or did not give any breathing room (like the plastic rain boots). These seem to fit the bill. I have never had one pair of boots that were versatile. I haven't been able to test out how warm or waterproof they are just yet. They are very cute and I like that. I can wear these with anything. I ordered the gray/plum kitten color and I really like it. I am slowing migrating away from having black everything and gray is a nice, neutral color.

Very comfortable with a nice inner lining. I sway between 6.5 and 7. The 7 fit me perfectly in the toes but wide in the rest of the foot. Fits though perfectly with a Dr. Scholl's insole and/or thick socks. Other reviewer felt it was too narrow, but I got the opposite experience.

My foot feels like it is in a palace -- warm and super cushiony! This is a really gorgeous snow boot at a much lower price then sorel or merrell! The only negative is that the Retailer told me I will have to spray these at the end of each snow season if I want them to last for multiple new England winters, but thats okay.

I am from Florida so warmth is key for my new life in New England. These boots are trendy and super warm.

I originally bought these boots last year & unfortunately someone else loved them as much as I did and stole them. I recently re-bought them this fall because I missed them! the style is a bit different this year but they are still very comfy, warm and I like the look. they are stiff until broken in, but that is to be expected.

This boot is really stylish and seemed to be very durable and warm. However, it seemed about a full size too small. I Could definitely get it on my foot but they were a little too snug and no room for a nice warm sock. I am very sad but had to return them. The sales girl explained to me that this is a common problem with their winter boots. So maybe keep this in mind if you are planning on purchasing in the future. I would absolutely recommend these boots but go up a size.

This boot is very comfortable and should hold well for winter months in Chicago. It comes up to about mid calf, which was appreciated since taller boots usually make me look stumpy. My only complaint is that it was sized a little too small-- I'm usually a 7 and decided to get a 7.5 so I could wear my boots with thicker socks but even those were a little too tight. I'm planning on going up half a size and get an 8.

Warm stylish boots. I wish it had a zipper on the sides for easy access. Waterproof is great. Difficult getting my feet in and out. Could've used a half size larger.

These boots are cute, comfy, and durable. However, they do not have a hook on the back to put them on, I never noticed how important that hook is when putting on winter boots. It makes it very hard to get them on.

I have only had these boots one yr and only wore them 4 or 5 times after purchase in mid January of 2019 as we are in Florida all of February. As of this 2019/2020 winter, only a few wears again and one boot has developed a squeak. Not happy with the workmanship of these boots. They look very stylish, but beware these run small.

I can't leave an accurate review because Zappos accidentally sent me the wrong size (way too small). It's okay though because they gave me a $20 credit for their error. The boots looked nice in person, just not what I needed.

I have a fairly normal size 8 foot but found these boots very snug even with thin socks. I returned for a size 8.5 and found that although the length would have accommodated a thick sock, the boots were too wide and collapsed at the instep, not good for my plantar fasciitis. There is no arch support at all in these boots.

The boot is cute enough however, it is difficutlt to put on and mine feel about 1'2 size too small. I will return/ exchange for 1/2 size up.

Seriously, if you're gonna make a snow boot, why not err on the side of caution and make the boot a little bit bigger for its size. Most people are probably going to wear thicket socks when they're in snow and cold. I'm Bummed because these are so cute and they were comfortable besides being about half size too short. Probably could even go up a full size but can't becaue I'm the biggest they offer.

I loved the look of these boots (material seemed high quality, lovely gray/blue color, and cute detail at the top), but they felt very stiff and heavy in the uppers - made me feel like I was wearing ice skates instead of boots I'd be able to comfortably walk around in. Had to return them and went with a pair of Sorels instead.

I had bought these boots on a whim because I needed winter boots for my Montana trip. These felt so soft and warm on the inside. Well when I was actually wearing them out in the snow my toes were freezing! My hiking boots kept my feet warmer and they are not even winter hiking shoes. I do not recommend these for colder than 35 degrees they just will not keep your feet warm. Especially if you are walking on ice or in the snow.

J'ai achet ces bottes il y a 6 ans et je les ai adores. J'ai recommand les mmes la semaine dernire mais la couleur n'est pas du tout la mme que celle que j'avais ni que celle de la photo du site. C'est ce qui me doit. Donc, les bottes brunes ne sont pas brunes, elles sont plutt grises et beige ple.

I wear a size 8 in women so I decided to order a size 8.5 due to the previous reviews I read about running small. Once the boots arrived, I was ecstatic to try them on. Unfortunately ordering them half size bigger wasn't enough because they were true to size then. Fortunately for me that Zappos doesn't charge for exchanges because I had to send them back and order a whole size bigger (from 8 to 9). They feel a little bulky but yet so cozy. Look forward to wearing them this winter :)

Nice snow boot. Could be warmer. Cold in the toes at times. A little heavy and clunky at times. A keeper and Not bad. But not my favorite
