Kamik Women's Fortress Boot

I got these boots expecting a nasty global warming induced winter in NYC - similar to last year as well as for a visit to Colorado.I have not worn them in snow yet, but I have worn them in heavy rain and in the cold and they are great - very toasty and waterproof. Not the prettiest boots but definitely warm, with a great snow tread and waterproof. I have yet to put them to the snow and slush test.

I've been searching for a good, warm, waterproof boot that will be comfortable for my high arch feet and I think I've found it! I absolutely must have arch support and I just tried them on with a thick sock and they fit great. They will be good with the thick or thin socks I own and they feel very warm already. My foot is an 8 1/2 and I ordered a size 9 which still has comfortable room without being too big. The inside has a nice fur collar that goes down about 3 inches into the boot but does not continue into the foot. The interior is a soft fabric lining that feels very cushiony and warm. My only negative I can come up with is that it doesn't have speed laces that you don't have to re-tie every time you wear them. These are just tall enough that you must tie and untie every time you wear the boot so, if you must run in the house for a bathroom break, you're taking them off or tracking in some snow. Not a real big deal. They are very cute in the denim blue with the black rubber bottom. They have little flowers on the tie holders which give them a feminine flair. They are light, waterproof and have Thinsulate that's supposed to be warm down to -25 degrees. We shall see. I will repost my findings ASAP.

My 2 stars have more to do with my own preference and anatomy, they are overall of decent quality. I bought these for my first east coast winter and walking in snowy urban areas. The coldest I've worn them in is about zero degrees.They have kept my feet very warm without overheating/getting them sweaty. Though we did get a lot of snow here in New Brunswick, NJ - I may have overdone it for an every day winter boot.My biggest wish with these boots is that the ankle/calf area were wider/more flexible, . After only one month of wear (3-7x per week, on average 3 hours at a time, up to 8 hours) the back seams of the fabric started coming apart. The material of this part of the boot then rubbed into the back of my ankle when worn, and the boots became painful to wear after only an hour or so of walking/wear. I should also note that I often put them on in a hurry, but even after I got in the habit of loosening the laces all the way and doing my best to tighten appropriately, the seams-ripped-ankle-area collapsed in and rubbed.For city winters my next boot purchase will probably similar with the rubber sole, but definitely at an ankle length. I would be willing to try this brand again, as they seem notorious for warmth, but not this style.

I ordered a few pairs of boots at once to compare and this one was lower quality for similar price. Where the rubber park of the heel ended and fabric began, the crease was significant and rubbed my ankle on the inside, even with thick socks. Otherwise, the tread on the bottom and overall look was good, just not comfortable. I wear size 6.5 and ordered a 7, my toes were at the end and too snug.

Although this boot has a thick front and bottom but it wasn't enough to keep the water from getting inside in heavy snow conditionsother than that it was perfect

Read the reviews and ordered a size and a half up. Was way too big. Returned them and tried to order just half size up and they were sold out. Very disappointed. Felt warm and are heavily lined.

I wear a size 9.5 in a regular shoe and size 10 in an athletic shoe. After reading the reviews I went with a size 9 and they fit perfectly. They seem comfortable and warm when I put them on however, I have not worn them out yet but I'm sure they will do the job. Good looking boot as well.

UPDATED: 3.1.15So, a little more snow for our area and I decide to wear these today. (I think this is my 3rd or 4th time of wear). Lo and behold, a HUGE ripped seam in the back. How and why did this happen? I didn't snag on anything, these are actually loose on my calves and feet, etc. Previously I had no problem with these as far as comfort or warmth hence my original review below. This issue was disappointing to say the least, especially considering the price paid.I came online to see if I could return and then saw the reviews of the ripped seams. Must definitely be a design/workmanship issue.I contacted Amazon Customer service and they are allowing me to return for a full refund, event though the 30 day window is passed. Thank goodness, or it would be a lot of money to be out. I could have also replaced them but I told them "no" considering the frequency of this issue.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I bought these with the intention of "playing" in the snow, moreso than just commuting, running errands in bad weather, etc. At first, these seemed extremely clunky to me. I then also ordered the Khombu Bryce Snow boot to compare. I ended up keeping these and sending the Khombu's back.I normally wear a size 10-10.5 shoe, I got these in an 11. They are very roomy and will nicely accommodate very thick socks. As I stated, they are somewhat clunky, with a hard bottom but that's what I need for hiking in the snow, sledding, etc.Also, they are not bad looking. They are far from "stylish" like some of the cuter boots out there, but these seem to capable of doing the job I need, which is ultimately more important to me.

Dommage que j'aie dû les retourner, elles étaient trop petites et la bonne taille non-disponible... le produit était excellent. Ne pas hésiter à ajouter un point de plus.

Great traction on the sole, although these fit maybe a tad large, and will collapse inwards/downwards and cause blisters in the heel as a result. I put in an extra insole, and they fit like a charm! My only other gripe is that the materials for the insulation seem a bit cheap, and are already showing wear. Also, these are quite waterproof! I stepped in a 4"+ deep puddle, and came out unscathed!

サイズですが、普段２４．５cm、か２５ｃｍを履いています。２５ｃｍを選ぶことの方が多いと思います。今回他の方のレビューを見て２６cmを購入。２６ｃｍで良かったです。つま先の方が若干余るかな？と思う程度で靴のホールド感ががっしりしているのでこのサイズで良かったと思います。写真で見るよりごついデザインですが、履いてみるとかっこいいです。靴の中もふかふかでとても暖かく履きやすいです。でも靴のサイズや装備がおしゃれな分、靴自体が結構重くて（これは仕方ないかなとは思うのですが、）そこだけマイナス１にしました。

warm, comfy and durable, also look great.

他の方のレビューにも”小さめ”とあったので、普段24.5cm（3E)を履いているので、25cmを購入。しかし、普段から幅広のブーツに慣れているためか、幅が窮屈にかんじました。足に馴染んで少し幅が広がることを期待したいと思います。
