Lennox Waterproof Hiking Boot (Women)

Lots of people are wearing the wrong size shoe. Take the time to measure ur shoe size at the end of the day (with socks on) and trace. Measure for length and width. And look at a sizing guide. If u do that right, use that as a guide/reference when shopping online. These boots look and feel gud. Some reviews are people using these for hiking or some other physical activities and I would recommend against that. These are stylishly casual shoes, though durable, I wud not use for exercise. Will keep ur feet warm.

I am so sad to be writing this review! I wanted to love these shoes but on first outing breaking them in they nearly broke my feet! I have a pair of hiking boots that I love, but they are not waterproof, so I bought these to play that role and can say they are adequately waterproof and the tread performs well on slippery rocks and mud. However, other reviews claimed these boots were too narrow in the toe and wide in the heel and I am sorry to report this is very true! (Sorel, why are all your toes too narrow? I almost always have to size up because of this and this is a frequent complaint in your reviews). For this shoe I went true to size based on recommendations of other reviewers in an attempt to compensate for the narrow toe/too wide heel. But alas, it was not enough. I took them on an inaugural hike yesterday and have giant blisters on both heels despite wearing my thickest socks. Also, my toes are in a lot of pain from the tightness. They did not instantly feel this way upon donning the shoes, and walking around on level ground felt fine and comfortable. But the faults of this shoe were exacerbated by ups and downs on the trail. I had to cut my hike short due to the pain. Because of the awkward fit, sizing up or down is not an option. I am so sad to be returning these boots. They are beautiful and waterproof and stable on wet ground (which is what I was after), but they are foot destroyers and that is not ok.
