Description of Simple Toetally Winter Boot - Women's:
Maintain your environmental conscience without losing your phalanges with the Simple Women’s Toetally Winter Boot. This stylish and sustainable boot features a casual upper made from organic cotton, linen, wool, and felt for toasty comfort as you cruise the streets. Simple used water-based glues to cut down on toxic materials, and the natural latex and rubber sole give you flexible traction on slick surfaces.
Bottom Line: Toetally sustainable style and comfort for chilly winter walks.
Note that the felt is on the tongue and as a decorative top only. There is no lining in the rest of the boot. As someone who walks everywhere in the coldest capital city in the world through slush, snow & ice, these boots weren't even worth wearing outside once, despite their cool look.
I have been debating for days on whether or not to return these boots. They are an 8.5, which is my size, but they are quite difficult to get on. And, once on, they are very snug. If you plan on ordering these boots I recommend getting them at least a size larger. I have very narrow feet and they are still tight, so if you have wide feet I wouldn't recommend these boots.
These are cute. Very cute. Full marks on attractiveness. They are not, however, the stylish vegan's answer to serious winter. The wool-looking lining you can see poking out of the top? Yeah, that's all it does: poke out of the top. It does not line the boot, it only extends about an inch down from the top. Other than that, all that's between you and snow is thick canvas. These feel much more like snug comfy slippers than boots. They keep the snow out (but not snow melt, not the cold) and look good. That's all. If you've got a real man's job for a real man's boot (but happen to be a woman, wanting some women's boots) check out something bigger with leather. I guarantee you'll be happier with them.
