Kamik Women''s Canuck Boot

Kamik Women''s Canuck Boot,Black,8 M USI deliver newspapers every morning, 7 days a week, in all types of weather rain, snow, sleet, etc.I needed a good pair of boots that wold keep my feet dry & warm.These boots are great.They go as high as just under my knees so they do a job job at keeping the snow out of the boots.They''re waterproof so they wick away all snow from top to bottom.I wore these in a blizzard where we got a foot of snow.I trudged through snow that was way over my ankles & climbed through & over large mounds of snow left by the plows, snow that went up to my knees & the boots kept my feet dry & warm.They have a thick red inner liner that insulates the boots from top to bottom down to the toes so they keep your feet warm, didn''t have cold feet at all & I''m usually out in the elements for at least 4 hrs a day. The foot part wasn''t hard on my feet since the insulating liner makes it feel soft on my toes & comfortable. I also needed a boot where I didn''t have to worry about open shoelaces & these boots have a tie on the laces so that you can cinch the laces tight & they won''t even come loose or separate.I am normally an 8 & 1/2 wide foot, I bought a size 9 & they''re snug & fit perfectly, I listened to the reviews that they run big & a size 9 does fine.They are large bulky boots, not much on looks but fantastic in functionality.The only issue I had was getting used to driving in them, at first I couldn''t feel the gas pedal under my foot since they''re big but after an hour I got used to it & didn''t notice.Had no major issues slipping on the ice either, they seem to get good traction but I was mostly in deep snow.If you need boots to keep your feet warm & dry, & something for deep snow these boots work great. They''re also easy to slip on as well if you need to run to the store or just to run out to shovel.I just wear a thin pair of regular socks & no issues & my feet are warm.Remember, I''m out in weather that''s below freezing, walking through 3 ft snow drifts & my feet were warm & dry so they should work perfect if you''re a mailman, newspaper carrier, or just to go shovel your driveway or something.Great boots!

The boots seem to be well made and sturdy. Although they are bulky and not very nice looking, I ordered them for play in the snow with my kid, but after reading the reviews (when I ordered the product in December there were at least 7 reviews; which, strangely, are no longer there), I decided to order a size larger, since all the reviews were suggesting that. I normally wear 8.5 shoe, and a size 9 winter boot, but after reading the reviews ordered a size 10. Big mistake, shouldn''t have listened to anyone. The boots are so huge, my feet are "swimming" in them even with 2 pairs of thick socks. Unless you have really wide feet, there is no need to go up a size.

The boots are sturdy and well insulated. The only thing I have trouble with is getting it to hug my feet tight enough with the bungees to avoid the boots from flopping around on my feet when I walk.However, that could simply be that the boot is too large for me.I ordered 1/2 a size larger than normal footwear to ensure I had room for winter socks... and it was completely unnecessary. The boots offer good traction on snow and ice.Overall, good purchase! Stick to true size!

These are very comfortable well-made boots... light-weight and true to size. I love them!!! There was one/possibly two problems, though. I found a small OPEN puncture... about the size of a diaper pin in the rubber on the top part of the boot... right next to the seam. I''m surprised I even spotted it... but happy that I did before I experienced any leakage as I will be working/walking in slushy snow come spring. Also... one boot is shiny while the boot with the puncture is dull looking. Had it not been for the puncture, I would have given these boots 5 stars.

I will be contacting Kamik... afterwhich I will come back and update this review. Sharing a photo would have been nice for verification purposes... but this site only supports video, not jpegs.

UPDATE (03 February 2011)

I sent a photo to Kamik and they informed me that it was a factory defect and suggested that I return the boots. Okay... so here''s the low-down, Kamik. I already paid full price for a defective product and I was not willing to spend more money on postage to return them. So much for quality control, eh??? And... my old boots (which leaked like a sieve) had already gone out to the garbage the moment these new boots arrived... and I NEEDED these boots NOW... not 2/3 weeks down the road. To make a long story short... I''m thinking that a 20% refund would have been nice... but was not offered. So-o-o Kamik... I will wear these boots... and if I notice any damage due to leakage... I''m going to ask for a new pair of boots... compliments of Kamik. We''ll just have to see what happens.

So just a reminder... examine your boots carefully upon arrival... and order them EARLY so that you have time to return/replace them before the cold weather arrives. Lesson learned.

UPDATE: 27 November 2011...

If you have alot of snow and ice (particularly GLARE ICE) that you have to contend with... you might want to compliment these boots with a pair of... Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats for Snow and Ice just as an added safety precaution.

This boot is easy to get on and off, which is convenient when walking the dog.I fell through small puddles of ice and the boots were waterproof, even the upper part of the boot.The boot is rated for negative 40 degrees but I can feel the cold when walking through the snow when I am in the woods for an hour.
