So glad I got these winter boots! They look great, are just the right height, very easy on/off and pretty comfy (although with no support, they are snow and commute only boots for me). My true size felt pretty darn big, but a half size smaller was way too tight, so I just double up on the socks to make the true-size pair work. Super happy with these.

Great short snow boot! I love these to wear while running errands. Super comfortable, they don't have that typical snow boot heavy walk to them. They feel more like regular boots. Very warm, I found my feet getting hot while in the car for long periods of time. Ran try to size for me.

Great looking boot! I just received and tried on while at work, sitting at my desk... feels like it would keep my feet warm while outdoors shoveling or whatnot. I will most likely return, though, as even though I don't have bunions, my large toe joint feels cramped. The length is appropriate, but the rubber is too tight across the top of my foot and around my big toe joint. I have large feet / wide / plush. I am normally a size 7.5, so I ordered 7.5, which is the correct length. There is too much space in the heel bed (and I don't have narrow heels) but not enough extra room around the top of foot. Yeah, the front part of foot feels like it is being held too tight and it is now cold from being cramped in. Too bad. I wouldn't exchange for a larger size because then the boot would be too long. These boots will probably fit someone with a narrow foot perfectly. (I purchased the DARK EARTH BROWN/STORM BLUE; great color combo! These boots would match everything.)

I traded in Snowvalley for these & am so glad I did--these are perfect height and fit. When I first tried them on, they were a little roomy in the toes so I put on a thicker pair of socks over my every day socks and they were snug. I was in 19 degree weather with these and moving around, they were warm! Standing in place for an hour or two, my toes got cold but I took a walk to get the blood flowing and they warmed up again. I will be wearing to work on snowy days and running errands, not for ice fishing or other extreme weather conditions.

Good winter boot , light weight & feel comfortable with a thick sock. Now I'm all set for a northeast winter!

It has been ages since I've invested in a good quality pair of boots. It doesn't snow here very often but the rain can be pretty bad in the Spring especially. Since I now work at a home improvement store and do some work outside, I needed something water proof and warm but also very comfortable. Of course I wanted the boots to also look stylish. I am very happy with my purchase and have had to wear them numerous times. I'm glad to have them to keep my feet warm and dry.

I love these boots - they are fantastic. They're very durable and definitely hold up in the snow and slush, but they're stylish and cute enough to wear at the office on a cold, winter day. I have larger/wider feet than most women, so it's been difficult to find attractive boots for winter that aren't super bulky, but still perform well. These boots check every single box and I love them! I would definitely buy them again!

The boots fit true to size and fit my foot well. I have a narrow foot so if you foot is wider than i would recommend going up a size. There is absolutely no support in these boots but can easily be fixed my an insert. they kept my feet very warm and dry. They are not heavy or bulky as most snow boots. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Love these boots! I already have a taller, similar pair of North Face boots, but wanted something a little shorter that took less time to take on and off. These are perfect for rain and snow (not too deep) and are surprisingly comfortable. I felt they were true to size.

I really love these! I was looking for a shorter boot for days that it's wet/snowy, but my tall boots aren't needed. And these are perfect. They fit me true to size and I find them very comfortable.

I bought these to replace a pair purchased many, many years ago. The North Face boot had a wider toe box compared to other brands tried. I can layer my socks in these and ordered a 1/2 size up from my normal athletic shoe size. I think they look good, will be great out shoveling snow this winter or to keep my feet dry on errands. They will work for going to a cold weather football game, but aren't looking like they are the warmest pair out there, I wouldn't attempt wearing them for that without toe warmers, but when you live in Wisconsin, that's a given.

These boots definitely ran big! Even with thick socks on, my normal size was slipping off my feet. The laces don't pull too tight, either, which didn't help. I'm exchanging for a smaller size, but I have high hopes! They seemed like they'd do a great job in the snow, but not be too clunky as some winter boots are. I got rid of my giant Sorels because I felt like I couldn't walk in them, and these seem much lighter without sacrificing the ability to keep snow and slush out.

I'm going to be honest, I really had high hopes for these boots. First thing that bothered me was how horribly packaged they were. The box was not in good condition. The boots look used! They had no paper or cardboard inserts, which surprised me considering the price. I've ordered cheaper boots that contained inserts. They really do not look like they're worth 120.00+... maybe 40.00 at the most! One of the boots has a small reddish mark and the inside looks like it was worn a few times. I haven't sent they back yet because it's been a very busy few weeks, but it will make me mad if I keep them. I'm just super dissatisfied and disappointed. Maybe if I wouldn't have had all of these issues, I would have liked them more. They're not ugly, just don't feel they're worth the price.

Nice boots. Lighter than I thought, which is a good thing for me. Not sure about warmth due to the fact that we are in the warmer season. So far, pleased with my purchase.

Love the boots, easy to put on and lace. I ordered half size up just in case, but didn't need to! They are extremely roomy and are true to size, so order your size. The foot area is roomy for thick warm socks, that I recommend wearing if walking in snow. This will keep toes warm because there could be more insulation in this area due to the rubber encasing, and it can get a tad chilly in snow. Great boots, and great service!

These boots fit great! I ordered a half size up so that I could wear thick socks and possibly feet warmers without my toes getting squished. I just received them a couple days ago so I have not had the opportunity to wear them in snow. I have a taller pair of winter boots by The North Face and they are great in winter weather so I am counting on that experience to apply to these boots. I ordered the black ones. The package arrived in perfect condition and fast delivery.

I went snowtubing in Colorado at Cooper Mountain. The weather was extremely cold for a southerner like myself! My feet were warm and protected the entire time. The grip on the sole of the shoe, made walking a breeze in the snow! By the way, I'm from Georgia!

These are the boots I have been looking for. They are warm, light weight, waterproof and half the price of Uggs. Granted, they don't have the super cushy footbed, but they are really really comfortable! I would highly recommend them.

I personally love these winter boots. I bought them for my job, since I work outside in the elements all day. I trek through snow, rain, & freezing cold, but these boots keep my feet warm, dry, & comfortable despite all of that. I couldn’t ask for a better winter boot. They’re definitely worth the investment, I would recommend.
