Shellista IV Mid Waterproof Insulated Winter Boot with Faux Fur Lining (Women)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lower part of the boot is waterproof, as long as the rubber remains intact. However, after about a year of use, the left heel has cracked. I am writing this after slopping through a wet snowfall, during which I discovered the boots were no longer waterproof. Every other step let more and more cold water into my sock. I'm sure these boots are fine for the moderate snowfalls of more southerly states, but they don't quite cut it in Vermont.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid winter boots are necessary in Maine. I've had these for a couple months now. They've been used to cheer on kids at XC Ski races (my toes stayed warm for hours!), thrown on for the grocery store (very comfortable) and used them for snowshoeing and with microspikes up a few mountains (heavy use miles with no damage, so far). Overall, I am satisfied with these boots. The warmth and waterproofing are exactly what I needed. The grip is also good. I took a star off because they run beyond the normal range in width. My feet are average, maybe a little narrow in the heel, with high arches so they move around from side to side quite a bit, even with heavy weight socks on. If you truly have wide feet, you'll love them. If not... it's not ideal. I'll replace these with something else. The lace design is off as well - the material and shape of the laces cause them to untie easily with a lot of movement. I'm switching them out but I haven't had this problem with other boots in the price range.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The boots looked really nice, but I went half a size up based on other reviews, but they were still too small. The soles also didn't bend at all when I tried walking in them. Maybe they would break in over time, but I can't speak to that. In the end I returned them. I can say that the return process was really easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am stunned by the cheesy materials and design of your Shellista boots. I ordered two pairs one a half size and one full size larger than my regular size. Both were too small. Previous I owned a pair of North Face boots that were a half size larger and fit perfectly. Really disappointed in the "quality" of your boots. Will never make the mistake of doing it again
