I am a devoted Kamik boot wearer and I own multiple pairs. These boots are spectacular in so many ways. Not only are they practical but very cute. They wear a little bulky, but what do you expect from boots that keep you toasty warm many degrees below freezing? They are not heavy at all. It feels like I am wearing air. So far they have proven completely waterproof and have kept my tootsies from going numb while waiting for the bus in a snow drift. I wish I could wear a bodysuit made of whatever that Thinsulate stuff is that they use. Leave it to the Canadians to make great winter boots.

My one disappointment is the tread. I find myself feeling wary on wet and icy surfaces. I am a bit sore about this because I own multiple pairs of Kamik rain boots (wellies, muckers, whatever you feel like calling them) and they are completely slip resistant. I have even worn them at work in a freshly mopped kitchen, which is usually akin to surfing, and felt completely stable. In the snow boots, however, they are a bit lacking. This is sad because I know they have the technology and know how to make this better.

Overall, I would recommend them. Just don't go full speed on ice patches. I got them for a steal in a before Christmas sale and would happily buy another pair for the same price. I'm not sure how I would feel if I had paid full price, but I'm pretty frugal so big purchases are always a pain.

I typically wear a 7 1/2 so I got an 8. They fit perfect, especially with warm winter socks on. I chose the white on black and I must say: They're pretty hot! I've worn them with jeans, leggings, even a skirt. Ergonomic style is always a bonus.
