These are warm and look great. They come with black and red laces for two different looks.

I've never purchased the tall boots, but these are definitely my new favorite for the winter! The leather on the outside make them look so nice! Can't wait to pair these with some leggings/skinny jeans and a cute sweater!

These boots run super small. I ordered a half size up (7) and could barely slide my foot in or move my toes. So I ultimate ordered a 7.5, a full size bigger than my actual shoe size. They're still pretty tight but at least I can wear regular socks with them. They seem sturdy though. I am also slightly annoyed that they weren't brand new from the warehouse, they had been tried on a good bit and didn't come with spare laces like in the description. I think I'll be able to stretch them out over time and they seem pretty warm. The fleece interior goes all the way through the shoe. I bought these because they're really tall and I need boots that won't let snow in during New York winter.

Beautiful sturdy boot for winter. Recommend a size larger. (i.e. 8.5 for 7.5 shoe size)

Was looking for tall boots that are warm enough for pre- and post-ski activities and are somewhat sleek (as much as snow boots can be!). Haven't worn them in the snow yet, but when trying on it's clear they are very warm. Love the red laces and they also come with more muted black/gray ones. Will update review after have worn in cold and snow.

Love these boots for wet and cold! Only thing better would be slip ons..but it's nice that they are adjustable so you can have a snug fit.

Comfy shoes. Haven't tried them in deep snow yet, but it looks promising.

These boots are so warm and are perfect for those big snow accumulation days. They do run small so I had to exchange for a half a size bigger.

I hike with my dog on our mountain property twice a day and use these "extreme" boots after it snows or rains hard. These are the only pair of many hiking boots I own (other than my uninsulated rubber boots) that don't let water seep in and have pretty darn good traction. They also keep my feet and calves toasty warm even though I have to wear thin socks with them because they run a little small. The only downside to hiking in them is the resistance felt when flexing at the ankles and knees because they are so sturdily constructed.

Boot is very warm (temp highs of below 30 and single digits in the a.m.) and comfortable. I have a rough time finding shoes/boots that don’t rub my heels and these don’t. I wear them out on dog walks and to the barn for work. They have gotten very muddy and are easy to clean off, but the fabric above the heel can get a little wet if you’re walking in deep snow. I wasn’t sure about the red laces, but they come with a black color too - I ended up keeping the red ones. It’s a rugged boot, so definitely something I would recommend for someone living with cold weather/snow/mud for everyday wear and/or hiking on trails with dogs.

I really love the look of these boots and they keep my feet warm for hours. I do wish they had deeper tread.

This boot runs small! I am a 9.5 in a shoe (as professionally fitted) and usually get a 10 in a boot (especially a winter or hiking boot where I would wear thicker socks). I tried the 10, in thin socks, and my toes touched the front of the boot! The toe box also was too narrow for my foot. I also did not notice any "warmth" after wearing it a few minutes. Though maybe that is because my circulation was slowed by the small size of the boot. On the plus side, I found that I could get the pull-on style on and off without too much trouble. Overall I love the look of the boot. It is too bad it runs so small. I thought to try a 10.5 or even 11 (which might also be slightly wider, cross-fingers) but now I cannot find that size :(. I recommend to get at least a half if not a full size larger. Apparently many people have the same problem, and that is why the site is sold out of all the larger sizes.

I like these, they're warm enough but my toes still get a little cold when it's below 10 degrees F. Definitely waterproof which was my main goal! Also really stylish I get lots of compliments.

I really like this boot. The toe box is a little bit pinchy at first and feels a little narrow, but after wearing the boots several times, the insulation compresses down and this feels fine. I have not gotten any blisters from the boots. They are warm and my feet and legs stayed dry. They come 3/4 up to my knees. I am happy to say they have held up in our VT winter with lots of sledding with little kids. The tread is reasonable, and better than my bogs or other 'snow boots' I've had. The laces are fine. I have no issues wearing them daily to work and tying/untying them, but they certainly aren't as fast as my bog slip ons. I've only had them for a week, so will see about how they hold up.

The boots I really only wore.once for about 20.min outside on some snow that was hard packed. I'm not sure how good the traction is but they were warm but I also had thick socks on. The main drawback is the feel of wearing ski boots ; these are very rigid and cast like feeling on the calves and I was wearing only leggings. I left them upstate NY I wish I had them here in the city for all the snow we got yesterday. I will wear them this weekend in deeper snow but I expect they will be waterproof. Personally I would not buy these again.

The boots are perfect for Cold snowy days. They are incredibly warm. My feet are pretty narrow and they were still snug on me so I went half a size up from 7-7.5 I actually could have gone up a full size if I was planning on wearing very thick wool socks Plan on getting at least half a size up. Comes with another pair of laces Red &Black
