4.5
I bought this and got a 9 1/2 the first time and should have listened to the reviews to get a bigger size. The first boot I got new. I returned it (easy return and didn't have to pay for shipping) and then bought the same boot in a size 10. I just received boot #2 and it's the right size, fits well yet has dog hair all over it, clearly has been tried on and walked around a bit. Still fairly new but disappointed I paid the same price for the brand new one.The boots aren’t bad but they do run a little small. After reading the reviews I ordered a size up from what I usually wear and they fit great!Fits great I got two pairs one for me and one for a friend of mines we both love them. If I have too I will buy againI purchased these for snow and ice. We don’t have any yet so can’t speak to that so I gave it 4 stars.I wear a size 8 (always). I wanted to be able to wear a thicker sock so I ordered a 9. Fits nice. Also seems to have some decent support at the ankle. I got the brown plaid. They are cute. Not something I usually say about snow boots.Pleasantly surprised that these accommodate my larger calves! Not much padding in sole so plan to add insoles for walking. Can't say how they do in cold/wet conditions yet as it's still too warm. But my last Columbia boots lasted 10+ years!It was my first time that I bought shoes online and was scared that the shoe size might go wrong. But to my relief the shoe size was perfect. Also it looks great.The size chart guides you perfectly, you can buy your shoes accordingly.I love ❤️ these boots, I ordered sz. 8, for my vacation in December, they are comfortable and fit perfectly.Nice boots for walking in snow and on ice! Keeps your feet dry and warm.Ok it took me awhile to write this review and my pictures shown very worn boots. These boots rock!!! Worn throughout a very cold winter in Winnipeg Manitoba and never ever had cold feet. The sizing was a titch larger than expected but ok for winter boots cuz usually u go a bit larger for winter boots but I would suggest just go with your regular shoe size. These r roomy. The fur is just a decorative edging on top which I didn't expect but it's ok. Easy on and off no annoying boot liner to deal with. Amazing and affordable winter boot. Great sturdy grippy soles!!!! They even look ok. I might have wanted prettier boots but they couldn't have checked all the other boxes. I did not waterproof the suede but my feet never got wet. Perfect winter boots. No complaints.I was weary about ordering boots online as my feet are a little wide and my calves are very big, but I did a lot of research and took a leap of faith. I was NOT disappointed. I have had them for about a month and a half now and I can say that these are the best winter boots I have ever worn. They are extremely comfortable - I have worn them all day long several times and did not experience ANY discomfort. None. The lace goes all the way to the bottom and the top of the boots open fully, so I have no issue fitting my big calves into these, even with bulky pants on. They look GREAT worn. They fit so well and are so comfortable that I do not even need to lace them up to wear them, so they are PERFECT for just leaving undone and just slipping on and off if you need to go for a quick drive or take the dog out. I have walked through snow in these and they are 100% waterproof and very warm. The inside is lined with faux fur almost all the way down, so they're super comfy. The soles have very good grip, but of course, boots will only do so much on slippery ice. They're probably not THE smallest boots you could get, but they are by no means clunky and they feel quite light to wear.In terms of size, I'm going to be very specific because every has different feet and it's hard to buy boots online! I purchased an 8.5 and they fit perfectly - comfy with regular thin socks but still room for thick socks. In "fashion" boots/shoes, I typically wear a size 8. In flats, I normally buy a size 7-7.5 and they KILL my feet until I break them in for about a week, then they fit once they've stretched out. My feet are roughly 8.5" long and a bit over 3.5" wide at the widest, just under the toes. They're chubby. My calves are pretty big - they NEVER fit into regular tall boots, and usually do not fit into "wide calf" boots.Overall: the best winter boots I've ever owned. Comfy enough to wear all day, warm, waterproof, can slip on and off without tying. Totally worth the price, even though I don't normally pay so much for one clothing article!Having read all reviews, went and bought a pair,yes keep feet warm ,yes easy to get on ,yes true to size, ,waterproof yes, on yesterdays snow fine ,compacted snow no, the reason for getting boots people said they grip on ice NO they do not, had one fall on slippy shoes ,in rain ,wasn't going to do it again ,would be 5 stars except for that one thing, keep away from ice.These are comfortable boots, easy to put on and take off. After looking at every pair of snow boots on Amazon, and returning several pairs, I decided to pay extra to get these because they had a wide width fitting. I have very wide feet so went a half size up; unfortunately, this meant the length was a little big. I was unable to wear thick socks because there was no room on the width. It snowed just after I received them so I decided to try them out. There was no grip whatsoever on the sole, I immediately slid on the ice and had to hang on to the side when crossing an icy bridge. I wrote to the seller to ask if the grip would improve if I wear them in; however, I received a reply from Amazon stating that my return had been accepted. I pointed out that this did not answer my question but had no joy so decided it was best to return them. The search continues!I truly love these boots, they definitely do what their designed for, a real good looking boot that can be worn with pretty much anything and very easy on the eye and although built to keep you warm and battle the elements it definitely has a ladylike structure to it as well as longevity so with that said I would definitely give these boots 5 stars although i am very disappointed as I ordered a UK8 and received a UK7.5 so I will have repost back to the US and hopefully get them exchanged, I hope the new ones come before the snow arrives...... fingers crossed.
