By Jen the driver from Erie, PA on 09/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Functional, Good Traction, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof, Wear like iron Cons: Don't like the laces Best Uses: Cold Weather, Outdoor Work, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Great for my job Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased these for work. I drive a paratransit bus and am in and out all day long in all conditions assisting our various customers. These boots are great. They keep my feet toasty warm and dry and put up with an awful lot of abuse. My only complaint are the laces. They untie themselves quite easily even when knotted. This is due, no doubt, to having a round rather than flat configuration and being made of slippery material. Flat laces would be better.
By Witchone from Norwalk, CT on 07/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Multipurpose, Stylish, Waterproof Best Uses: Hiking, Slippery Terrain, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Useful in any wet weather, Working in the rain Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I will use these for working in wet conditions. Because they are mesh, they are appropriate for summer or winter.
By No More Cold Toes from Philipsburg, PA on 04/08/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I suffer from cold toes most of the time. I've been looking for an insulated and waterproof shoe/boot that's not a hunting or work boot. This boot is the perfect solution. Not too heavy and bulky but sylish and comfortable enough to wear every day. I don't even have to wear two pairs of heavy socks like I do with my hunting boots. And the laces pull tight in just one yank. Just make sure you order a size bigger like recommended. I did and they fit perfectly. I love them!
By Dog walker from Lansing, MI on 03/04/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Fits great. True to size. Great ankle support. I have narrow feet so there is plenty of room for a hiking sock. Plenty of toe room. Warm and waterproof. Would recommend.
Alraedy my favorite shoes!!!!!! By mosed from Cle Elum on 03/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I did order one half size larger as other reviewers suggested and made the right decision. These are cute boots. They are indeed lightweight yet are warm with a mid weight sock. I would absolutely buy another pair!!!!!!!!!
Not as big as I thought, pretty warm By Jess from Long Island, NY on 02/22/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Traction, Lightweight, Waterproof Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit Best Uses: After Skiing/Snowboarding, Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Glacial Hiking, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wore these on a day long glacial hike in Iceland, as well as gallivanting around the city of Reykjavik in the rain. There was lots of snow on the mountain and these were quite warm, except when I was just standing around for an hour. As long as I was moving, they were great. Pretty wide, although I wear a 7.5 and the 8.5 was not big enough to accommodate my orthotics. I went down to an 8 and with a super thick sock, it was fine.
By Cynthesis from Florida on 02/22/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered these, tried them on and found that they were too long. However, since sending them back I have found out that this is a good thing with hiking boots. Your toe is not supposed to hit the front when you are angling down while hiking. So they probably fit just fine! I liked these, the only con was the color that doesn't really "go" with everything.
Durable -- Not Comfortable By Anonymous from Upstate NY on 02/03/2009 Pros: Good Traction, Waterproof Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit, Not Comfortable, Stiff Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Most durable and waterproof winter boots are on the heavier side. However, this boot crowded my foot and felt too clunky.
By fc from michigan on 01/29/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Difficult Entry & Exit, Narrow across toes Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I love Vasque boots but as soon as I put these on I could feel them pinching across my toes. I wore them in the house for an hour to see if they could work, but my feet were killing me. I returned them.
By Ally from Michigan's Upper Peninsula on 01/24/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Slippery Terrain, Snow, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots are comfortable and warm and the traction is superb. Besides using them for walking on icy and snowy rural roads, I used them to jog for a over a mile and they felt like winter-proof running shoes. I am thrilled with them. It was -11F and my feet were toasty during an hour walk. Heed the hint about ordering 1/2 size larger. I wear an impossible-to- find size 4.5 and ordered these in a 5. They fit perfectly. The toe box gives ample room for your toes to wiggle so even with wool socks you have the airspace needed to keep your toes warm. Another buyer mentioned she was disappointed by the appearance but I think they are very nice looking and stylish. When spring comes, the blue color will look nice with jeans and khaki hiking pants. The only drawback for me are the round laces. That type of laces always needs tying in a double knot to stay put. In this locale the boots become coated with snow and ice. Trying to undtie them when they are frozen or stiff with snow is a struggle. Of course, that isn't an issue in other climates. I am going to switch them out for a pair of speed laces which I just ordered from [...]. Even with that slight inconvenience, I still really like these boots and would not hesitate to order them again!
