The Most Painfully Comfortable Boots I've Ever Worn
By Lovin Tahoe
Ranked #1277 - Women's Winter Boots and Shoes
February 28, 2007
I bought these boots off of multiple recommendations from friends. I was looking for something to snowshoe, hike, and shovel in. After two days of wearing, I've realized that these are not the right cut for me. I'm getting ring bruising around where the top of the boots hit my leg when walking. They don't have enough give to keep from rubbing me painfully there. That being said, the foot bed is extremely comfortable, snow never got into my boots, and my feet were kept quite warm. The primaloft seems to work well also. Perhaps if I were a little longer in the leg these would have been a good fit.
