Shellista V Mid Waterproof Insulated Boot (Women)

Perfect boots to wear around town and even to work they don't look like big bulky boots. They are warm and very accommodating to my bunion. Sadly, when I was jogging to get to my kids game quickly the shoelace hook attached itself to the other boot and in no time i was totally flat face down on cement. Ouch. Don't ever run in these! Will try to flatten the hook.

While the boot itself seems well made the base construction portion of the foot is odd fitting and the inside padding makes it way too small (and I have narrow feet). It's frustrating to buy a half size up from normal and have it feel at least a whole size too small. I didn't bother ordering the whole size up because it wasn't the length of the foot bed that was the issue so much as where the top of the foot meets the shaft that needs to be like a 1/2 inch further out to not cut off circulation at the ankle and then more height from the top of the footbed to bottom (to compensate for the inner padding) and still would say it runs small length wise considering I normally fit an 8 no problem but the 8.5 was snug. Also, I have large calves and the boot had a large gap at the top tongue and not enough lace compared to the Sorels which had a wide tongue that tucked under each side nice and flat and kept the wind out. The white color was pretty and seem like it would be easy to clean and the boot was very lightweight with a grippy heel but there was much flexibility or breathability since the base was all rubber.
