Ahnu Embarcadero Boots - Waterproof, Leather (For Women)

I'm always looking for stylish boots to wear in the winter. These boots look great with pants. And they're comfortable!

I wear these boots while waiting for the bus on cold & wet winter days. They run a bit small - I returned them for a 1/2 size larger. And they run narrow in width and at the ankle. Traction is excellent on wet surfaces. So far they have kept my feet completely dry on my commute to and from work.

When I saw the picture, I thought these were the cutest boots ever! I was excited to find them in my size and ordered them right away. Unfortunately, they just looked clunky when I took them out of the package. I already own some "clunky waterproof snow boots", so I couldn't really justify keeping these. They also were a bit tight, so I returned them.

These boots were very well constructed & a good fit for a narrower foot. The 2" heel gives the boots a dressier look but is uncomfortable to walk in. You feel like you are coming down on a hard block of wood with every step. The heel area is the only discomfort zone of the entire boot. People with large calves/ankles will not be able to zip the boots. I am small boned and did not have this issue. If the heel had been comfortable when I walked, I would have kept these boots despite their mismatched, back upper, gray suede panels since my pants leg would have covered it up anyway.But, if you were to wear the boots with a skirt, the color mismatch would be an issue.I feel that these boots are not Close Outs but, rather, Seconds because of this fact...

I must confess that these boots are so nice and stylish that I am reluctant to wear them in wet conditions! They fit well, have a little height to them and feel glamorous for snow/rain boots. They are very beautiful to look at, but I really have no idea how they will wear over time. For now, I think they're great.
