Cozy, cute and very lightweight |
| Rating: |  |
| I just got these and we don't have snow yet but these are very cozy, comfortable and lightweight! I was looking for an alternative to my clunky, heavy Sorel pac boots and I think these Kamiks will be perfect if they can really keep my toes warm in cold, cold weather. I need these for deep snow, hours sledding with the kids, walking to work and driving (couldn't safely drive with the Sorels) through a long Maine winter. Looking at the treads, I'm fairly confident they will have good traction. They're high enough to keep snow out but entry and exit are easy. Very comfy AND they're cute! I just can't believe how lightweight they are. SIZE UP - I usually wear 8.5 - 9 and definitely need a size 10 in these (and I don't feel they make my feet look huge)and probably not a good fit for wider feet. |

Extra Warm |

| I had been looking for a long time for boots that would fare well in cold weather and snow. I recently moved to a snowy area and was in desperate need of some foot gear, as I had never lived in a cold climate. The traction is wonderful, I have yet to even stumble. They walk a little heavy, but they more than make up for it in warmth. On mild winter days do not wear thick socks with these.... you will overheat! But that only made me happier because I knew that I could trust these to the most extreme temperatures outside. My only complaint is the laces. Because of their material they are hard to tie tightly. Overall, they are a wonderful purchase! |

Super boot!! Not just for cold!! |

| I want everyone to know that while this boot is most likely perfect for frigid temps, it is also perfect for ATV riders in the south. I live in North West Florida, and we ride ATV's in Alabama,, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. It gets chilly in winter, so the warmth is important. But this boot is great all year long for ATV riding. Don't pass on this booth just because you live in the south! I'm thrilled with my purchase, and believe me, I've put them to the test! There really is no market for ATV boots. You have to buy motorcycle boots or find something else. These boots are my something else. Yay Kamik!! |

Very nice boot |

| I have not put them to the test in very wet weather, but have used them in 4in. of snow. So far I am very pleased with the boots. They are very comfortable and warm. The sizes run small. I wear a 7 1/2 and after reading another review warning about the small size, I ordered a size 9. I was worried that they might end up too big, but they fit perfect, with just enough room for winter socks. I usually have trouble with anything stylish being too tight in the toe since my feet are wide at the toes. These boots are very comfortable and do not bind in the toes. |

Warm boots |

| So far I've been really happy with these boots, great for cold and snowy michigan. Used for shoveling driveway, playing in the snow with kids. Only con I can find is they are tough to get on, the inside furry lining feels like it slips down with the heel when I put my foot in. Once the foot it in, it only takes one tug to straighten it out, and then the boots fit fine. They do run small - i'm a size 7, ordered 8, and they fit, but I don't wear super thick socks (don't need to, the boots are warm enough). |

A little tight, but I love it! |

| I followed someone else's advice and ordered one size up, but the boots felt really tight at first. It is not easy to put them on. However, after I wear them and walk around, they gradually felt very natural, and I love wearing them. They are really snug to my feet, and it is very easy to walk, too. I don't like loose boots, so they proved to be ideal boots for me after all. I wish it were easier to wear them, though... They are completely waterproof and warm, and they will be good both in city and mountains. |

Very disappointed! |
| Rating: |  |
| I loved the look, the weight, everything about the boot. What I was upset about was I wear a size 7 in everything - and I couldn't even come close to fitting in these boots! I went shopping to places near home and could not find a pair of these boots that I could try on, so I could hardly re-order. I have since found a pair of size 8 in this brand, in another style, so I now know that I wear an 8 in this brand. I was very frustrated! |

awesome boots |

| I bought these in place of my sorels after reading a previous review. They are way less bulkier and you can definitely drive with them on. I ordered a 10 since I wear a 9 in Sorels and they fit perfectly. There is no loop on the back like in sorels so they are a bit annoying to put on and take off. Also, they don't provide as good as traction as sorels but overall they are way less cubersome than my sorels and have done great so far this winter. |

Great boot |

| I purchased these boots for my daughter for this winter. I am so thankful for the reviews because she is a size 8 and we ordered a size 10 and they fit perfectly! She loves them because they are warm and "not dorky looking" (purchased the grey with yellow laces). I love them because they are waterproof and she will wear them. The best of both worlds! I'm not sure that people with larger sized feet could wear these boots, but I highly recommend them. |

Cold snow, warm feet |
| Rating: |  |
| It took a few tries but I finally found a warm Kamik boot that fit! I wear a size 8-1/2 (9 in boots to allow for heavy socks). Had to order a size 11 to fit. But what a boot. Walked out in deep snow for hours and my feet felt as toasty and stayed as dry as if I were inside. Because I have high arches I need to add an insole to be completely comfortable, but otherwise these boots are perfect. |
