Alico North Cape Wellington Boots - Shearling Lining (For Men)

if you have high arches very hard to get off

Couldn't have bought these if I hadn't had a monster coupon from STP. Even with 35% off, they were [$]. However, I'm glad I did buy them, since they're incredibly solid. Alico makes serious mountaineering boots, the kind that can keep you standing up straight all on their own. These have those bottoms -- stiff, strong, supportive. However, they slip on and off easily since they're Wellington style. The shearling lining is luxurious, but their sizing is off -- they don't understand American feet in Italy. (Could never buy shoes when in Italy because none were made in 12 or 13 ...) So while these are large enough in my actual size (a rarity), they have a good amount of heel slippage. But I've only worn them a few times, so the slippage could be from the need to fully break in. Will see ...In the meantime, wearing thicker socks.

Around the farm

I spent hours picking these out. They are clearly very finely constructed boots. They look good and fit my style perfectly. However, I had to send them back because the size was WAY too big and STP doesn't carry a 7.5 in this boot. I tried 2 pairs of my thickest socks because I really wanted to keep these, but sadly, had to send them back. Buying online is just too risky and is the main reason retail outlets will stay alive.

Handsome, rugged, well made boot. Comfortable. Great deal. Bring on the snow...

Been wearing them to walk the dogs, shopping, for anything. Warm and cosy and built to last forever.

First of all, understand that these boots are made the way boots used to be made 60 years ago or so. They are made of excellent blemish-free leather and are stitched with a strong Norwegian welt. The insole is fantastic! I stand on ladders all day in cold weather with a HEAVY tool belt on and at the end of the day my feet are pain free. The sheepskin liner is of excellent quality and very warm. Reccomended for cold weather work. A strong, full-length steel shank makes these boots worth every penny.

These are fabulous, heavy, extremely well-made Shearling-lined Wellingtons. I wear them all winter, with my only complaint that I bought a size 10.5, which is too big, though I generally buy boots in either 10.5 or 11. Consequently, I get a little heel slip, even wearing my thickest socks, and it's getting worse as the shearling slowly condenses. The boot is also a little taller than most similar boots from other makers, so can be a tight fit under narrow jean legs. I only hope that Sierra carries these again, because I'll buy a pair of 10s even though a season of heavy winter use in Wisconsin has barely dented the appearance of my first pair.

1/2 size too big

These boots are a work of art! The materials and workmanship are superb. They are on the heavy side, but only because they are so well made. The treads should last forever. They are very warm and are great for walking dogs. I can stand on packed show and ice quite comfortably. They break in easily and are a breeze to slip on and off. I bought the next size up so I could wear heavy sox.
