Merrell Puffin Lace-Up Mid Boots - Waterproof Insulated (For Women)

true to size, very stylish tread pattern and uppers. comfortable and warm.

After we got our late October dumping of snow, I decided I needed to get some new boots, and now that we had the mid November hit, I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

My daughter has wide, short feet, making getting into most boots very difficult. There was no problem with these. We were visiting in Norway in September, hiking in snow in the mountains. Her feet stayed toasty warm and dry while the rest of us had wet feet. Also, we were amused by the pattern on the soles of the boots!

Warm, comfortable, good traction - great boots overall!

The boots are cute and functional. I was concerned that they were just too cute to actually be waterproof but they are! I hope they hold up over time. Good buy!

I love the look and feel of these boots. I'd read that Puffins run small and that it's best to order a half-size up, but I didn't want to risk a bulky look. I usually wear a 5.5-6, and I risked the 5.5. They fit perfectly. Plenty of room in the toes, and they have a profile not much bulkier than that of a sneaker. One minor bone of contention: they're called Puffins, but they've got PENGUINS on the soles. At any rate, they're still adorable.

Nice boots, kind of like shoes. I'm addicted to sneakers, they are all I wear and these boots look a lot like sneakers when worn with jeans. They are super warm too. I ordered my normal size 8.5 and I can fit a pair of SmartWool socks in these with even a little extra room. The toe of these boots is very boxy and a looks a little bulky when you are looking down at them, but from the side they look great. They are pretty flat and don't offer much arch support. The "black" is more like black and brown so they can be worn with anything and the teal accents are very cute. I'm looking forward to wearing these on winter hikes throughout Michigan this year!

This boots are so cute! I bought them for my daughter. she's only 9 but her shoe size is 8. She's in love with them. she tell me that in school, her friends compliment her all the time. She also mentioned that they looked like "Native American Indian boots." I am not so sure what she means but I am happy she loves them so much! and wears them almost everyday.

I have only worn these around the house so far but they are comfortable and easy to get on and off. I bought them because of the puffins but I'm delighted with the overall style. As far as traction and technical uses, i am hopeful.

I didn't like the extremely squared off toes so i'm sending them back. It looks like you stepped into 2 loaves of brown bread and decided to walk around town. I got 8 1/2, my true size. I guess they fit about right though I could feel my longer second toe bumping into the front. I imagine that might start to irritate me. I wish they were more rounded and foot shaped. I like my other Merrell's though they too are a bit hobbit-looking but these were just too extreme for me. frump frump.
