Bristol Waterproof Mid Hiking Boot (Women)

I bought these and wore them 2 times, just for regular use (not hiking) to break them in. I went to put them on a third time and an eyelet broke off when I was tightening the laces. I’m so disappointed because I love them! With that said, they are extremely comfortable and versatile, and they fit my flat, wide feet so well!

Its look is deinitely serious - bulky hiking boots. Great sole! The black leather top is a good quality and smooth. But with the mint green sole and the matching shoe lace. it can be a unique regular boots that I can wear them with short wide pants or sikirt. The traditional hiking boots look is a big plus! If you are not an avid hiker and want to wear some quuirky shoes, it coulg be for you.

These books look great, if you like chunky boots, and the fit for high arches and and a tiny type box is fabulous. I have normal width feet and high arches, but have a Morton's neuroma and mild swelling, so it's tough for me to find comfortable shoes. I tried two pairs, but both had a defect in the same spot. Also, the stitching on both on the corner where the top meets the laces was poorly sewn on both pairs. Some of the stitches were incomplete, some went right off the boot edge. I would have loved to keep these, but the second eyehole for laces on both pairs of boots shirred off as I was tying them up. I was purposefully careful with the replacement pair as I laced them the first time, but the same thing happened. However, they may improve that, and if they do, I will try again later. The company was awesome about allowing me to purchase a replacement pair by giving me a full price credit, and I bought the wrapt mid waterproof, which is really a great pair.

PLEASE RE-STOCK/RE-MAKE THIS BOOT - (in general, but if you want to do it just for me I’d love some more Size 11, in this color, in the other colors, in the low style as well). Why? Because I’ve owned my pair in black/pine for about 9 months and I’m already sad knowing there is a future without them. I am a full-time in-home dog sitter in NYC; I do extended stays with pups in other people’s homes and have a very high ask of my shoes. They need to be comfortable (my daily steps average 15,000+), sturdy (to hold up against the city streets and all that walking), versatile (so I don’t have to pack multiple types of shoes per stay for unexpected weather/temperature/activity changes), and stylish (no one said you can’t be fashionable while strutting with a pup). These boots have checked all those boxes, and then some. I loved them so much around the city that I opted to bring them on my travels to the UK - going to both London and wandering about the southeastern countryside. They kept my shoe packing to a minimum (I always overpack) and wound up being the only pair of shoes I wore the whole trip. I was able to style these boots for a posh dinner one night, then go stomping around the mud on the Cliffs of Dover then next day… and then just wiped them down for another nice dinner out. Insanity. And I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that I have been complimented and asked where to get them every single time I’ve worn them, wherever I have worn them. Friends and strangers alike have stopped me to say “I need new boots - where did you get those??” If you’re lucky to not have monster feet like I do and your size is still in stock, I’m insanely jealous and suggest you get two pairs while they have them like I wish I did!
