These shoe/boot ate very warm and nice looking. They are well made. Run a bit big, I was initially going to return them because of that. I wear heavier socks and they are still too big. They are comfortable when first wearing them, but if going on longer walks they start to hurt the bottom of my feet. They can be easily worn all day at work, no problem.

I usually wear a sz 10, but based on reviews, I ordered a 9.5. They were still a bit too big so I bought a thin insert and now they fit much better. These are not designed for warmth so I make sure I wear my wool socks. They have decent traction.

I loved the look of these shoes. The length and width were fine, however I kept walking out of the heel. I have returned them becuase, given how expensive they were, I wanted them to fit properly.

I usually wear a 9 sometimes an 8.5. These are an 8. they fit at the toe but seem to stretch in the width so they feel looser every time I wear them. But they are super warm and easy on and off.

I purchased my original Storm Chaser slip ons in 2015 in a size 9.5, which fit perfectly with my heavier wool socks. Last month I decided to purchase a new pair to replace my old ones. I was disappointed to see they no longer sold the old color and that the tread on the new ones are no longer as rugged looking. When they arrived, the new 9.5s were too long. Even with my wool socks, my heels popped out the backs with each step. Unfortunately, to downsize to a 9, the backorder is March. I plan to return them.

I like the look of the shoe but it does not come in wide. It was too narrow.

It's a great shoe. However I wish it had the same ice and snow tread the men's version has. Not sure why they decided to omit that in the tread design.

My spouse and I like these enough that we just got our second pairs. We each keep a pair at home and a pair in our RV. Great for walking our pups and for setting up or breaking down camp in rainy weather. One cautionary note: These run large and wide. Unfortunately, they don't come in half sizes or a variety of widths. The sizing is the only reason I couldn't give them 5 stars. Still, well worth the money!

Well made; smooth soles good for shedding mud and snow but also slippery; warm. But, a normal size 5 1/2M, I bought these anyway for their functionality, and even with two hefty orthotics in each, they are way big! I wish shoemakers would realize that some US adults have small feet and also need heavy-duty shoes.

They are warm and waterproof. They would be the perfect shoe for our soggy Seattle winters, but . . . the heels slip (as others mentioned). I ordered my regular size (9); I wish I had ordered 2 pairs (sz 9 and sz 8.5) so I could compare them, but now they are backordered until March, so I'll just have to make these work--maybe insoles will help?

This is an excellent built pair of shoes, very comfy, keeps your feet warm but does not make you sweat if it is warm outside, has incredible cushioning, and feels stable on the ground.
I tried it in the store, half size up is roomy, half size down my toes are squeezed, so the size I picked should be right. The problem is that it kept slipping up, what I mean is that when I raise my leg to step, the back of my foot keeps leaving the soil of the shoe and hitting the tongue. It is like having the inside room of the shoe of excess height without a way to control that type of motion. Otherwise, it is an excellent shoe; tried to get used to this because I strongly want to keep it but did not work :(

Great quality shoe but the heel is loose when you walk. Runs big so I had to size down

Comfortable from the start. Mine runs big but should allow for thicker socks. I use them in crummy weather to run errands and to take the dog on short walks. I like the reddish color

Not the same as the old ones that I liked better. These don't feel like the same quality. They are "ok". Good for rain and light snow. They do not breath. (I don't expect them too)

They run a bit large with regular socks. Fit great with thick socks. I usually Order a size 7. Very comfortable!! Walk the dogs in them. Slip on and off easily.

Retailers don't care about women with wider feet anymore. Although the regular fit is not at all narrow, I had to order a half size larger than my usual, and still had some discomfort on the side of my right foot. With thick socks the shoes seem to fit fine, but with regular socks, my feet move around a lot due to the longer length and height of the toe box. I wore these on a muddy trail, and luckily did not have blisters. I guess I would say these shoes are good quality and comfortable overall, but would have been perfect with the availability of a wider option for women without having to get men's sizes.

These slip-ons work perfectly for what I wanted them for - running out to the mailbox, birdfeeder, etc in messy weather, or for light yardwork. They keep my feet dry and are so easy to slip on and off. My only complaint is that they are a little too big for me, even going down a half size. But I have bony feet with a low instep so vamp is always too high for me in all shoes. These are passable when I double up socks.

My first pair of storm chasers. I was concerned that they would be too warm/sweaty when I'm out at the barn with my horses. Well I was wrong, they are both comfortable and they keep my feet dry.

Sturdy, warm, very easy to slip on, great for quick trips out to the garden or compost bin. Only issue is overall stiffness. They tend to slip up and down a bit on my heels so I added a shoe liner. Still waiting to see if heavy winter socks will help.

I ordered an 8 but it was too big. Changed to 7 1/2, which feels good and fits. But the opening to put your foot in is very small and a bit difficult. Once foot is in, very comfortable.

These are a little loose unless you wear substantial socks.
