Customer Reviews Aravon Fairlee Waterproof Ankle Boot

I ordered this boot in two colors: black and brun (brown) with the expectation I would keep the black. I tried them both on and were exceptionally comfortable. My feet slipped into these boots very smoothly. I put my hand into the boot and the lining felt unusually smooth and silky – like fur. After I turned the boot upside down to see the sole, there was a sticker saying ‘faux fur’. The short ‘fur’ lining is certainly a big plus. My foot slipped into the boots without pushing my socks backward toward my heels and crushing my toes. The sizing and comfort of these boots was certainly an affirmative decision to keep these boots. At first my mind chose the black pair, but my eyes were focused on the brun pair. The color is exquisite. It’s a deep rich, coffee roasted color. Sometimes it looks like a deep olive green. Sometimes deep brown. My eyes kept tripping on the fur lining. But, it must have been the awesome brun color that struck my fancy. It was love at first sight. We walk together now side by side.

I love these boots but I will have to return them after trying two pairs because of my high instep, a problem I often have with boots. The style is great, they are just what's needed to look smart in a wet climate, but I have to struggle to get them on and it would be impossible to wear them with heavy socks. It's a big disappointment. I have a pair of Aravon sandals that are the most comfortable shoes I own and had high hopes for the boots.

Based on the picture, I didn't think these were going to be the style boot I kept, but as I was looking for a wide width, black, ankle height, waterproof, extra comfortable for walking type boot, I ordered a couple of pairs to try with my various travel outfits. This was the style I picked. They work with my leggings, skinny jeans, AND are not too bulky under my bootcut/flare style jeans, which was an issue with other boots I ordered. As I'm trying to pack very light for my trip, I wanted ONE pair of boots to meet all of my needs. This is the style I kept.

I ordered a 7WW, which is my normal size. Perfect fit & they still allow for slightly heavier socks. First outing we went to the beach where there was a lot of wind & rain. My feet never got wet or cold, which are really 2 separate things. They are also very comfortable. I walked around in a mariners museum for over an hour on concrete floors & my back didn’t hurt which means the arch support is very good. I’m sure they could be more stylish, but they are kind of neutral. Plain but kind of classy.

THESE ARE MY SECOND PAIR. I ADORE THEM . LIKE WEARING A BEDROOM SLIPPER OUT.

The boot fits me well. It is a little wide in the heel, but I usually have that problem with any shoe I buy. Fortunately, it does not rub up and down on my heel, so I can't complain about the fit. The shoe is definitely NOT green as it appears in the photo. It is a chocolate brown, but still a beautiful boot. The fit makes it a keeper.

Out of 5 pairs I tried these were the winner. They are a littel on the narrow side which works well for me, they feel very stable. Also do get the 1/2 size smaller, other users recommended that and they were 100% right.

OK. These are my first pair of Aravon shoes and I was really iffy on them as this kind of boot is usually not my style. But I wanted a better looking winter boot than the typical clunky ones. I have to say they are really really cute on and go with tons of stuff (I totally did a mini fashion show when they arrived, haha). Waterproof, warm & stylish. For my WW ladies, they are true WW!!! I usually wear a 6.5WW in Munros and 7WW in their boots. I also got these in 7WW and they fit great even with thicker socks. Toe box is roomy and insole is removable. I hope Aravon makes more stylish shoes in the future as these are very comfortable for people with problem feet.

I wear a 7 WW and these fit to a tee. Nice clean lines in a slightly above ankle style. My only gripe would be thst they only have zippers on one side which makes them a little difficult to slip on, but I still love them. it's hard to find to find anything cute in an extra wide.

Comfy as soon as I put them on!

I found that these boots ran a half size to a whole size too big and, while I have a rather wide foot, the normal width fit just fine. I'm normally a 9.5 and these size 9s have a little wiggle room in it, but I'm keeping it so I can wear warm socks instead of sizing down a whole size. I wanted a comfortable boot that could handle some weather, but still look decent with my office attire and I have finally found it!

Super cute bootie! Very comfortable. Just a tad bit too large. I usually wear a 10, sometimes a 9.5. I should have ordered the 9.5 with this shoe, even wearing thick socks. Also, definitely brown, not gray.

Wanted to keep these, but too big. Need a 10.5 which isn’t available.

I really liked this boot, especially the foot padding! The problem for me was the opening was very tight and I could not get my left foot into the boot!

I started wearing a half size up in other shoes and in the Aravon flat black walking shoes, but these were roomier such that I would go down a 1/2 size.

These boots fit true to size but the heel height caused my feet to slide forward and they won't be comfortable for all day wear...for my feet.

These are simple and cute and seem like they'd be a solid pair of go-to all-weather shoes if they fit. The 10 M was so small I could not get my feet in them -- I typically wear a 10 M. I may try sizing up and getting W later, if I find I'm still in need of cute black boots.

They felt a little too big for being size 8 1/2 & my heel seemed to slip when I walked. Otherwise very nicely made & attractive

These were too wide for my narrow feet although they were comfortable.

These boots are comfortable, sleek design and I like the idea they are waterproof.

My problem is I have high arches! I had hoped this boot was cut roomy enough through the last but alas; I had to return them. Aquatalia and some 400$ Italian brands seem to be the only option for me.

The toe box was wide enough but the heel was too wide causing them to slip inside as I walked. If not for this I would love to have kept them.

These seem pretty awesome but are HUGE. I have very high arches and very wide feet and normally am an 8 in boots like these, but they feel like they are at least a 9. Gonna try going a full size down and hope they work!

I love Aravon shoes because I wear a size 13 and their 12's fit me! (please don't tell them as I don't want them to change anything)! I have arch issues and their wide sizes fit my orthotics perfectly. I will keep these booties because they feel good now and I hope they will work well over time! It's SO hard to get nice shoes in larger sizes that accommodate aging feets! I wish they made more casual styles that don't look so clunky!!

These seemed perfect for me because they're comfortable and waterproof, but they're just too big. I usually wear a 6W because I have small, wide feet. But these are too loose around the ankles and at least a half size too big in the toes. Too bad they don't come in a 5 or 5 1/2. I'm reluctantly returning them.
