These are Perfect - better than Sorel!
I finally found the perfect winter boots! Let me start by saying I did a lot of reading reviews on every website imaginable before I bought these. These boots had mixed reviews - some hated them and some loved them. I have narrow feet so for the people who said these are good for narrow feet are spot on. I tried these boots on at Scheels before I bought them so I knew what size I needed. Winter boots just like running shoes should have one thumb width extra at end of boot/shoe. This allows for room for your feet to generate heat in boots and move in running shoes. Winter boots should not be too tight - space around your feet allows heat to be generated, it’s essential. Also important to note that my feet are always, and I mean ALWAYS cold. I really wanted the Sorel Joan of arctic boots - they are adorable and all my friends have them. But at $190 for a pair I just couldn’t do it. That’s too much money.
I normally wear size 9 or 9.5, these boots are perfect for me in a size 10. I wore these every place I went for the first week to make sure they were comfortable and the fit was good - if I’m paying $100 for something I’m going to love it. I love the way they slip on - no need to tie and untie! They are super light weight - each boot only weighs less than 1lb, not bulky at all.
My first long outdoor adventure with these boots was to a snow tubing park. It was cold - 20 degrees with windchills near zero. At first I worried my feet would freeze but after 3 hours outside my toes were toasty warm.
***Side note - one of my friends with the Sorel boots I wanted was tubing with us and her feet were freezing!***
These boots are PERFECT!! Light weight, super cute and comfy, plus they keep my feet warm! I Definitely recommend these boots!
