I never heard of Kamiks until I purchased these boots and my fiance said "Those are pretty spiffy, are they Kamiks?". I absolutely don't regret my purchase at all! I bought them because they were on sale for $18 and I just so happened to be looking for rain boots. I couldn't be happier. You are truly getting a $60 boot for way less. As others have said, they are not insulated, but wearing two socks helps -- or heavy wool socks. I'd describe my calf as average...I don't have skinny legs. I'm 5'9, about 180 and proportionate all around, and they fit perfectly! I've received many compliments from men and women. The color is just as pictured.

The only thing that is wrong with these boots is that I can't stop wearing them. It's now about what outfit will match my boot, not what shoes are going to match this outfit today.
