I like this shoe, but there is not enough cushion in the toe box and it hurts the balls of my feet. I do like the look of the shoe. I ended up ordering Clark's Mucker's Fog and I am keeping them.

I did not find these shoes as comfortable as previous Privacy shoes. The sole is thin and the insole is not very cushy, either.

Very comfortable, well-made. Great color. Thick padded sole. Great walking shoe. Buy it!

I found these shoes to be incredibly stiff and uncomfortable. I normally have little problem finding shoes that work well for me but the moment I put these shoes on, it seemed like my foot was screaming at me to take them off. I love the look of it but they are going back immediately.

One of the most comfortable shoes ever! It fits like a glove, hugs in the right places and has very good cushion. As good as walking in a sneaker. I walk miles and miles in it.

These felt a little awkward and bulky. Cute for a snow boot but just not that comfortable.

I just moved back to the north after 10 yrs without going thru a "real" winter; I tried several brands before deciding on this boot, so I can continue walks outside in the winter. I love the fun color and fit

Far nicer than the picture shows and I think they will be very warm when the snow comes. As the reviewer above noted they feel a little small. I am a size nine but the size nine is a little small - considering changing them for a bigger size.

I wear an 8.5-9 in winter boots. The 9 was too small, toes pressed in front of boot wearing thin cotton socks. The grey is a light grey. Seemed to have been made well.

This looks great, but you can't get your foot into the boot. It is so stiff that it can't make the bend around my ankle.
