Extreme Comfort and Style!!
I absolutely LOVE these boots! Not only are they positively gorgeous, but they are the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn! The slate grey, suede exterior is so stylish. Plus it's incredibly weather resistant and completely waterproof. The thick and sturdy rubber soles have excellent tread...

Mediocre shoe
For the price of this shoe, they could at least use laces that stay tied. They come untied even when I'm just driving in my car, not even walking. So I replaced the laces. They have a cozy liner, but the sole isn't the most comfortable. It feels a bit thin, like I can feel the ground. I replaced th...

I like the style, no need to size up.

I bought my regular size and i'm glad I did after so many reviews said to size up. I wear a regular thin sock with these so no need to size up for me. I got compliments when I wore them hiking around Horse Shoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in Arizona. They are a bit warm for summer months but provide good coverage up the angle so dirt and rocks don't get into your shoes. Downside they are a bit heavy and the felt on top makes them look wintery instead of all season.
Perfect ski village walking boot!

Love these shoes for winter trips to ski towns. Perfect for walking around in the villages. I would not recommend them for snow play, not warm enough nor waterproof enough for that! It is my second pair so you know I'm a fan! Different color this time around!
Not what I expected

I actually returned them. Run small. I was so excited for these shoes to arrive and was disappointed. I ordered my true size and should probably have ordered a full size bigger.
Terrible fit

Fit did not work. 7 was too small and 7.5 too big.

Very comfortable and well made. I usually wear size 7, but went a size 1/2 up and it fits perfect.

These boots are so comfortable, warm, and cozy! And they have great traction, which is a must during a Minnesota winter. I love them so much that I ordered a pair of fall ankle boots to try. I did size up for these, which was the right call (normally an 8, bought a 9) because that is the most comfortable with thick winter socks.

Love the way shoe looks. Disappointed that there was no arch support.
Average quality

I like the look. Pretty comfortable arch. The shoe strings don't stay tied very well and I'm frequently re tying them. If I wear them all day my feet get really hot even with thin socks.

I bought a full size up based on reviews and I should NOT have done that. They're too big! I'm usually a 7.5, bought an 8.5 and so sad. I'm pretty disappointed that they don't fit right. I love the look and bought based on a friend's recommendation. Wish I could exchange for a better size. I don't know what to do with them at this point
