ZeroXposur Men's Alaska Waterproof Insulated Hiking Boots

wear fast

I wouldn't do too much winter pavement walking on these because the treads are very thin and will wear quickly.

walking

thicker sole

but I'll pick a more durable option with thicker soles to replace these at the new price range.

sole thin

small-size

The boot size labeled in the boot was 11.00 and to small.

fabric

Quite warm with 200g of insulation -- and lined up to a an inch or so above the top of the boot for waterproof (the tongue has a cut at the very top for ease of getting them on).

hiking boot

Warm & Waterproof
These hiking boots are well ibsulated.

Set My Feet Free
These ZeroXposur Men's Alaska Waterproof Insulated Hiking Boots set my feet free from the tyranny of my heavy hiking boots.

comfortable

Warm and waterproof they have a textured sole that provides good traction.

These boots were very comfortable even on the first wear.

boot

The boots come up to just below my calf as opposed to just below the ankle and provide great support for my ankles.

Tongue + eyelets mean they open up quite wide, easy to get my foot in -- and a great strap on the back that is wide and doesn't feel like it will break when pulling the boots on.

Kamik Women's Waterproof Jennifer Rain Boot

But, unfortunately, on my first day wearing the boors before I left work and started walking home, I noticed that the seams where the boots are attached to the soles have split open on both boots.

As soon as I started walking through some grass and stepped in the first few puddles and water streaming down the sidewalk, I could feel the water rushing into the foot of the boot and soaking the bottom of the boot!

It was truly frustrating and uncomfortable having to walk all the way home in the pouring rain knowing that I had wasted my funds on an unreliable product.

I suffer plantar issues and need support, just walking across the living room, my ankle has no support and moves around as there is no grip or shape.

sole

but the 8s were too short so I put thick shoe inserts in the spring and fall months and in the winter just use fleece liners from Capelli and I have no issue with them fitting too small, if anything in the spring and summer months they are a smidge big on me.

The shades Kamik refers to as "pink" are way too purple for me. **The shoe inserts I have that I use for my rain boots are not thin dainty liners they are thick and plush I bought them on clearance at target about a year ago:)

damage

though perhaps the toes just got scuffed and I was imagining things.

but after reading far too many reviews about the Hunters cracking just after the year warranty ran out (conveniently) and how the Hunter customer service was unhelpful in resolving the situations.

width

however, the ankle area is far too wide for me.

stretchy heel

The 10s were HUGE on me they are too big just about everywhere they could be and my heel was very loose in the boots and made the weird walloping rain boot sound when I walked noisily around my house.

The only place they still fit okay was my calves, I still had plenty of room for fleece liner.

but my fleece liners fit in my rainbows great and I have decided just to keep the 9s as I think an 8 would not allow for me to wear the fleece liners I have for the winter.

I tried on the rain boots with skinny jeans inside my rain boots and the fleece liners on and I had no issues at all with any part of the boots being too tight.

The size 7 (my usual size in most boots and shoes, except hiking boots in which I go to 7.5) fit my foot perfectly, like a glove,

The fit was good and the footbeds felt very comfortable so I was looking forward to wearing them for the first time.

though I had only tried those in light rain and walking through dewey grass, they held up just fine and were quite comfortable for all day wear.

So I am hoping to give as much help as I can to those who are wondering which size is best for you:) These rain boots are very cute and comfortable.

cute

I sized up considerably (6.5 to an 8) after reading reviews & bc I intend to wear them w fairly thick socks & they fit just as hoped, so probably more like a 7, 7.5 at most.

I also put my shoe inserts in the Jennifer's and they fit great!

replacement

but the last time I  had to replace the purchase because the left shoe was defective.

but not perfect
Had these shoes for about a year now (normal for me), and I just ordered replacements (another brand).

wear

but the soles wore out pretty quickly, and I've noticed a lack of support for my feet in recent months.

shipping

The leather is supple, lined inside with leather as well,

COMFORTABLE Office shoes
*SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR PROS & CONS* A couple years ago i moved from working out in the field taking photos and gathering writing material, to working in an office and had to ditch my hiking boots for oxfords.

These are well made and extremely comfortable.

a terrible proposition for me seeing as hiking boots are so comfortable & supportive.
