Positive Reviews:

weird. i have the same comments.

Rating:****
i rented these in yellowstone. when i first wore these, they felt sort of tight, so i wore one sock on one foot and two on the other to see which was better.
two socks= sort of tight. didnt hurt while wearing but after foot hurt for two days.
one sock= sort of loose. blister on top of toe.
warm though with either one and two socks even after several hours at around 0F. i would try again i guess but not sure i would buy.

Gave me blisters

Rating:***
The boots gave me a blister on the top of my toe the first time I wore them. I have not worn them again. Must have gotten them a size too big, but the left boot fit perfectly. Might have to get an insert or something. [...]
