Kamik Women's Momentum Snow Boot, Black Ii, 6 M

At long last, after hours of shopping in stores and on line, I finally found a warm waterproof boot that fits!! I tried several different styles and brands a couple of which were "guaranteed" to be warm at temps to 20 below. Sadly, I found they did not even keep my feet warm at 20 degrees above zero for longer than a few minutes. One thing I really like about this Kamik boot is that the fur lining goes all the way to the toes. Add to that the nice thick sole and you have toasty warm tootsies, even in the snow. I also love the drawstring zip button closure so I don't have to stop and tie laces or pull up a zipper every time. I purchased these primarily to wear when I take my dogs outside which is multiple times a day, so I mostly just leave the drawstring and the boot "tongue" fully open for ease in getting them on & off. However, if I need the added warmth, it's simple to pull the drawstring a little tighter, even with thick gloves on.As for fit, I bought my usual boot size and the fit is close to perfect. When I first put them on, I thought they were going to be too tight because of the thick inner lining. However after just a few minutes of standing/walking, I realized they were actually molding to my feet and felt wonderful. I don't wear them for extended periods of time but I think they would be perfectly comfortable to do so. There is no pressure point or chafing, and they are relatively lightweight. My only small complaint is the ankle area is a bit narrow which makes it a little snug to get on & off with thick socks. However I think they might slip on your heel otherwise, so it's a tradeoff I'm willing to live with.Fashion/style was not a priority in my selection but for practical boots, they are sporty looking. I got the red which is a little darker than the picture, what I would call a cranberry shade. They are solidly constructed with a thick tread for traction and look like they will wear well for years to come. I'm very happy to finally have a pair of boots I can wear outside without my feet freezing.

I never get to treat myself to anything nice for me.. (kids), but when I saw I could get these boots here for $51.40 with coupon code I ran for it, as I deserve to 'treat my feet' like my kids get to also, no? Plus, I am sick of trashing my Uggs, sliding on snow and ice like crazy and putting baggies over my feet when we go sleigh riding. I needed snow boots that would be multi-functional. These look terrific and will protect.Now have I tried these out yet on snowy terrain? No. May I still put on the baggies? I might because these don't seem to be like hardcore snow boots and my hub says to do that regardless, but for sure better than my slippery Uggs on the ice. I hurt myself numerous times delaying the purchase of better boots I couldn't afford, because on 'ol mom spending money is a waste. Not this time.I will notice a happy difference for sure. And for rain these look great, and just look REALLY nice in general. The quality seems absolutely superb. I was not at all disappointed there. They are shapr looking to boot!What I was nervous about was the fit. I'm a size 7.5-8 in shoes and boots. I read the reviews and was confused. Do I buy a size up or go with an 8????? Whelp, I went with the 8 and it was a PERFECT fit!!! So, I would say if you are a true blue 7 you MIGHT want to go to an 8 since there aren't any half sizes. I'm kind of tricky because sometimes I am a 7.5 and sometimes I am an 8, but a 9 in these would have been large, so I was glad I made the size 8 choice. It's a great fit, but I guess they would be a tad snug with two pairs of socks on liek I do with my Uggs, but maybe I won't have to this time around.I hope that advice helps someone out.They are warm, furry. They feel like they will last a great long while. I am happy I bought myself an early Christmas gift :).I definitely recommend. If you can afford the retail price, I would say that it is still worth it. You know for me to buy anything for me with the holidays so near, I am meaning what I am saying, and I am not at all unhappy I did what I did!

Update - I've had these boots for almost a month now and I'm in love. They are so cozy warm and so comfortable. I've NEVER received compliments on winter boots before and in the month that I've had them I've had at least half a dozen people (strangers!) tell me they like my boots and asked what brand they are and where I got them. So happy with them!I was in desperate need of a new pair of boots. Over the years I have purchased cheap cute boots only to have to throw them away every other year or sooner. My husband was always giving me a hard time about it but I was being cheap and didn't want to spend a ton of money on a pair of boots. I don't do a lot in the snow but I do wear them pretty much daily in the winter so my other shoes don't get wet and covered in snow and salt. And for shoveling...I live in Wisconsin after all!I got these the other day and I was super excited to test out with our latest snow fall. I was a little worried when I first put them on because they felt a little snug. I typically wear a 9.5-10 depending on the shoe so I got these in a 10. They are so cushy inside the toe felt a little snug but after wearing them around the house for a bit they loosed up. And fit perfectly! Wore them outside for shoveling today and I'm really impressed. Like I said, these things are cushy inside and hug your feet and legs to keep them warm. They are super comfy and cute too. Definitely high quality boots that I see lasting for a LONG time.
