Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the boot. Some find it good overall, with room to spare. They say the size is very close to expected, and the shaft up around the calf has generous spacing for large calved people. However, others say that they were a little tight in width at first, but loosen up after a couple of weeks. They also say that the boots run narrow and without the liner they were too loose.

Kept my feet warm!
I was pleasantly surprised! I was going ice fishing for the first time and saw someone else here say they used them for the same.With the right warm socks, my feet were warm on the ice all day (6hours).I’ve continued to wear them through winter (upstate NY) and they have served their purpose. Wearing them around the muddy areas of our little farm homestead and have nothing but positives to say at this time. Well worth it.I’ve even worn them on a winter hike on one of the Saranac 6.

5.0 out of 5 stars One star for every year of abuse my first pair survived
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024
Size: 11Color: Black/Black SoleVerified Purchase
My first pair lasted five winters of daily wear before the heel seam finally split in year six. I probably could have gotten another year or two out of them if I was more gentle putting them on and taking them off.

As you can see from my photos, I replaced them just in time. We got hit with 8" shortly after my new pair arrived.

* They're durable, warm, and comfortable once broken in.
* I normally wear a 10.5 or 11 wide, and the size 11 fits well even with thick winter socks.
* They were a little tight in width at first, but they loosen up after a couple of weeks of wear.
* The tread is decent and they get pretty good traction in snow and mud.
* Made in Canada. Obviously made in USA is my first choice, but Canada is a fine runner up. Besides, I figure they probably know a thing or two about snow boots.

Make sure to check the different variations if you're looking for a deal. The price can vary by $20+ between different styles/colors.

TL;DR: High quality, good value winter snow boots. My first pair lasted five years and I liked them enough to order a second pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent waterproof cold weather boot at an affordable price
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
I was looking for a warm pair of boots I could slip on in a hurry to take out the trash or snow blow the driveway without taking the time to lace them up. These have been more than great for that. I recently have started using them more than my high dollar lace up winter boots because how easy they are to get on and how warm they keep my feet. I’ve taken them Ice fishing in 0 degree temps standing on the ice and snow and my feet stay warm and dry with a good quality sock. I wear them in the garage or around the house when its cold or muddy. I wear them when I shore fish to keep my feet warm and dry and I can eaisy slip them off and put on my tennis shoes when i get back to the truck. The tread is great and provides great traction in the snow and ice, although a pair of ice cleats really helps on the slick ice. They can be a bit warm if its not cold outside. I find them reasonable to wear as long as its not warmer than 60 degrees outside, otherwise my feet get to warm. I purchased these boots on prime days and got a great price on them. Before I bought these, I had visited the local big box stores for a pair of waterproof boots and everything I found was over $100. When I saw these on sale, I bought them based on their reviews and price and couldn't be happier. I've used them a bunch this winter and they are holding up well. I imagine they will last a handful of winters more.

The only negative about these boots is they only come in whole sizes. I wear a 9.5 and I ordered a 10, they are a bit big all around, but manageable. I wasn’t interested in ordering a 9 to find out they were to snug and have to return them and miss out on the prime days price. To remedy this extra room, I purchased a $10 pair of felt insoles that help provide a bit snugger fit and add extra warmth. I also wear thick winter socks and that helps snug them up. The slip on style of these boots allows my feet to move around slightly while walking, I wouldn’t recommend long hikes or running in these boots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Waterproof insuated boots
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2022
Size: 10Color: Black/Black SoleVerified Purchase
If you need insulated boots that are waterproof, as in standing in a foot of water and your feet stay dry waterproof, these are a good pick. They are basically a rubber boot with an insulated liner inside, and a drawstring closure on top to keep snow and debris out.
These are not extreme cold weather boots, but work good as cold weather chore boots, for as long as I'm moving around some, my feet are OK down to zero degrees F or a bit below.
They are slip on boots, the drawstring does not tighten the boot itself, but just the top fabric around your leg. Comfort is average to a bit above average, the liner adds some padding. The liners are removable as well. Totally waterproof until you go deep enough that water runs over the top. Durability is good, they last me a bit over a year of cold weather chores. These are a good choice for general chores, ice fishing, etc, but wouldn't be my first choice for all day walking. For that, I would recommend the Kamik Huntsman, which at the end of the day, are as good to my feet as a hiking shoe.
Fit is about what you'd expect, a hair loose with thin socks, just right with medium to medium heavy socks, and a bit snug with super thick socks. Mine are marked made in Canada, my Huntsmans are marked made in USA.
Pluses:
Warm, durable, easy on/off, truly waterproof, reasonably priced for what you get, North American made.
Minuses:
A bit stiff/heavy compared to some, the boot is just a slip on, so it does not snug up as tight as one with laces/buckles.

Size: 9Color: Black/Black SoleVerified Purchase
I usually wear a men’s size 9.5, so I was very surprised when the size 9 fit well with room to spare. These are very comfortable and gentle on my feet.

I have not worn them at -40 degrees, but I can say that together with my snow pants and coat, I tend to overheat. The rubber portion is entirely waterproof. The non-rubber material on the top is like my snow pants and are waterproof, though I would prefer to not be in water higher than the rubber portion.

These were great for ice fishing and allowed me to access thicker ice when there was thinning close to shore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy, bulky & stiff
Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
While trying to slip my feet into the boots, I was shocked that they are heavy, big and stiff. Had trouble walking in the first few minutes, but after a while, I adapted, getting used to a different walking style. The sole is thick rubber with deep grooves, the kind used for tires? No smell. Water-proof, warm and heavy-duty: definitely. It's one serious pair of winter boots. I keep them for those special days of deep snow or icy flood. I wouldn't drive with these boots on as they restrict movement of the foot. Taking 1/2 size up, the fit is ok, allowing a bit of room for heavy socks if necessary.

Currently, they are placed in plain view (to people peeking through the glass door) to show potential intruders that there is an incredible hulk living here.
