What customers say:

The boots offer good warmth, comfort, and traction, but many customers reported significant issues with the fit and ease of getting the boots on, describing them as extremely difficult or impossible to put on. Several reviewers mentioned problems with the tongue and gusset design, which restricted the ability to flex the boot and get the foot inside. While the majority of customers seemed satisfied with the boots' performance and quality once they were able to get them on, the consistent complaints about the challenging fit and entry process suggest this is a significant design flaw that detracts from the overall user experience.

These boots are great once you fight to get them on. The tongue is stitched to high to allow enough flex to get them on. I probably should have returned them.

I have had these a week. Unfortunately I didn’t read the reviews before purchasing. They are more difficult to get into than tight cowboy boots, just as noted on other reviews.

Can't get it on my foot
Size Purchased: 13
Fit - Width: Too narrow
Used for: Hiking
The flaps that connect the tongue to the neck of the boot are too small. This restricts the tongue from opening far enough to get your foot into the boot. A very simple design fix
