Khombu Birch High 2 Winter Boots - Weatherproof (For Women)

I wore these when the weather turned cold and received so many compliments on the way they look. However, they seemed stiff and tight on the top portion of the foot which axe sense later. The top "waterproof" material cracked and it was no longer waterproof. Water seeped in. Hate to throw these out, but these are only good for cool dry weather now.

I took other reviewers suggestions and ordered a size up, especially since I'm usually a half size. The bigger size allows me to wear these boots with my favorite heavy wool socks. These were exactly what I was looking for at the best price.

Having both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as fibromyalgia, I have a tendency to hurt all the time and avoid getting out in the cold weather. Living in Northeast Ohio, cold, damp, snow is a fact of life during the winter. These boots are not only warm and cozy, but keep my feet dry and help support my weak ankles. I no longer have to avoid getting out and about when the Lake Effect Snow and the Alberta Clippers hit at the same time - I can get around comfortably and safely!

Sad to say but I was so excited to order these boots for my trip to Sundance. I ordered these as well as the Martion Logan Tall Boot in black suede. My feet froze in the Khombu boot but stayed warm and toasty in the Martino boot. Did not like how the Khombu creased in the top of the foot upon immediately wearing. Also did not like how hard it was to lace them tightly...poor design with laces. Cute boots and were very stylish with jeans tucked inside. But, overall quality was poor. I will be returning for a refund. I wish I had ordered the Sorrell brand and will probably order these when I can afford to get the pair I really want for next year! At least the Martino boots were awesome and kept my feet warm at Sundance while walking around in the snow!!! They are fantastic!!!!!!! Sorry, Khombu!

While these boots are good looking and warm, they are going back. The interior seam where the shaft hits the shoe part is so prominent it hurts just standing in them, let alone trying to walk in them. Such a shame.
