Kate Waterproof Lace Up Bootie (Women)

These shoes are very cute and look great with skirts and pants. Waterproof with good traction but not clunky. I am a size 10 with a high instep. The 41 was very loose in the heel, but the 40 felt a bit tight. The salesman recommended having them stretched. I bought the 40 and had them stretched- at a local show store- no Nordstrom in San Francisco anymore- I have to shop in Seattle! I wore the shoes for 6 hours, after 4 hours they hurt. My right foot was bruised and sore for a week after! I will try to have them stretched again- otherwise it was a waste of money.

There was no “break-in’ period with these boots. I walked 2 miles on sidewalks immediately. They kept my feet toasty warm, and no water leaks on rainy days. I need a narrow heel and a wide toe box. These fit and look stylish to boot 😉 They are a tad tight to slide your foot into, but that is expected, as they are fitted and certainly not hard to pull on. They grip the walkways so far, but have not been tested on ice or snow yet. Another plus is they are silent when walking indoors. This is my second pair of this brand and I will look for them when I’m ready for a new pair.

These boots are super comfortable and very classic. I’ve been wearing them for a couple of months now on repeat and in the rain with no issues. I’m hoping they hold up because I want to keep wearing them for years- love them! Cute with skirts and pants. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly.

This boot is gorgeous and it fit as expected. I am familiar with this brand and it is always good quality. Fit true to my usual size in other brands like Ecco — the 6.5/37 was perfect. However, the insole doesn’t have much cushioning and is not removable. If I add another insole on top, it’s too tight. Sadly, these went back. Everything else is perfect but it lacks the cushion and at least minimal arch support that I require.
