Look:Love the boots, just what I need to run around in the slush of northern Minnesota winters. No need for the heavy Sorels most of the time, so these are just perfect for the day-to-day. Strongly recommend. As for Zappos, what can I say? Their customer service is A#1, and ease of shopping makes this my only shoe store, online or in person. Once you try Zappos, no other online experience measures up.

I took advantage of the ease of ordering and purchased these boots to compare to a pair of double gore pull-on boots I bought elsewhere. I have a pair of Sorel lace up boots that live at our cabin in the snow and have been quite happy with those for many years. The problem with those is the effort to put on/lace up and tie etc. to just run out for a second. So, I went looking for a pair of pull-on/slip-on boots that I can throw on to take the dogs out or run to the truck. What I first noticed when I took them out of the box, was that the upper section (around the ankle) was compressed/wrinkled. My daughter called it when she said it looked like a Peter Pan boot. The Flax color is more Grey than tan which is not what I was expecting and the shoe portion was a darker black than I had thought so the ultimate combination wasn't what I was looking for. I tried the boots on and they felt good. I wear a size 13 and they seemed true to size or at least I wouldn't want them any smaller. However, both of my heels came up when I walked. After switching out of dress socks, to athletic socks and also wool socks my heels still came up when I walked. Lastly, the soles are the classic rope-chain tread design. This has worked great for years on other "Duck Boots" (L.L.Bean), but not what I wanted for the snow. What I did really like was the Thinsulate insulation was around the foot as well as the ankle area unlike many other boots of this type. Overall, the quality appeared great and these would be a great slip-on boot for the right foot in the right application, just not mine.

Look:A fabulous boot, well designed and well made for its purpose. I took the advice of other customers here, and ordered mine 1/2 size larger than my regular shoe size. They fit perfectly, feel great, and are very light weight compared to other boots of this type. Easy on and easy off with no laces to catch on brambles and twigs, these were made for trouble free walking, no matter the weather. Hey, Zappos, I love buying my footwear from you!

Great boot - Comfortable, warm, easy on/off, and they look good too. Ordered 9 1/2 but they felt like they were 1/2 size too small. Reordered 10's and was happy I did. I really like the boot.

Good shoe - Was heading to Alaska for the 1st time and needed a shoe boot. These wore well. They seemed a little on the small size, but even with wool socks they were comfy and warm for being in snow for 3-4 hrs straight. I highly recommend for light and cozy boot.

Solid boots - Because they don't have laces, they tend to slip up on my heel a little bit. However, they have padding in place that prevents this from happening too much. They are very breathable for rubber boots. My feet don't get too hot or sweaty. And they're kind of ugly, but does it really matter in the winter?

Outstanding Comfort - Value - Warmth - Had duck shoes for a long time from Bean and these Sorel's are just as good/warm and at a much better price. Good in cold weather and easy to get on/off in a hurry without the bother of having to lace up. Will always have a pair in my closet.

Great boot! My husband wanted slip on boots that would be easy when at camp. These are the perfect boot - comfortable, well made and easy on and off wear!

Great winter boot! A great boot for when the snow gets too deep for regular shoes/boots. Warm and dry at all times!

Great boots - I bought these boots for my dad and he absolutely loves them! I looked for months to find the right style boot for my very particular father, these are perfect.

Re-review - I'm the same person that posted the first review on these boots. One year on, the boots are a total failure! Firstly, the outsole is poorly sealed around the boot (upper), allowing water to creep not only in between the outsole and insole, but also inside the boot itself! To boot, the outsole design is wholly incompetent--the boot has no traction whatsoever! Altogether, these defects defeat the primary purpose of the boot--to serve as sturdy wintry foot apparel. Get a Caribou instead. Those seem to do the job.

Great weather boot! They'll make you look like a fish-gutter from Anchorage, but boy do they do the job! They do feel a half-size smaller though. Otherwise, they're as weather-proof as can be for around $70.
