Made in China
I got these to replace an old pair of Khombu boots I bought in 2005. This is a similar style and, like the old ones, they are super comfy and warm. The inner lining is thick and plush and the outside has a suede-like feel. They are great for snow because of the water resistant covering and the soles are skid resistant. It seems like the tread on these is actually an improvement over the old ones. The old ones were skid resistant too, but I did slip around quite a bit and even fell once on the ice. So it's good to see that they improved the traction. They claim to be "waterproof," but I think "water resistant" is a better description. I've never had a problem with wet feet when walking in rain or snow, but I wouldn't go wading through deep puddles. These boots are a bit narrower than the old ones, so if you have wide feet they might not be very comfortable. Probably wouldn't...Read more

I live in Utah where I am tromping through snow on a regular basis in the winter, and up until I got these boots, wet socks were just a way of life. The only waterproof boots I've ever been able to find are hideous rubber hiking boots, nothing fashionable or feminine.
These boots are incredibly cute, go with everything, are comfortable and warm, and VERY waterproof. I have even tested them through giant puddles, they were totally immersed in water and my toes stayed bone dry (and warm!). I would give anything to have the same exact pair in several different colors to go with different outfits. I absolutely love these.

I've purchased these boots for a trip to the east coast in winter, just received them. They fit like a glove, very comfortable and cozy. They are exactly what I wanted -- thermal rating -20, waterproof, suede, faux fur inside, low heel, zip easy to put on and take off, good price and quality. I like the way they look, not clunky as some other winter boots I've tried on. I shopped around a lot and finally decided on these and I love them, don't want to take them off! I think these will be great for lots of walking in the cold weather and they'll blend in much more with my outfits than the clunky brown hiking boots I was thinking of wearing. Once I actually get out in the cold and snow to road test them, I'll come back and update this review.
