And the owner of the boots, BF editor Jennae Schitz, says:
“Reviewer swears These don’t even have a break-in periodIt’s the perfect pick-up for last-minute outdoor trips where hiking or rough terrain is planned.note that We recommend going up a half size with this boot to accommodate thicker hiking socksAnd I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself. I’m normally an 8, but found the 8.5 to be perfectly comfortable in this shoe. I also found that the shoes held up well on my first hike. Admittedly there was still some pain around the heel, but this was after a hard hike of over 7 miles with lots of rocks and climbs, so I don’t blame them. Those shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box and were very supportive when going over rocks and rough terrain. Even though I only went into the water a few times, my socks stayed dry. I bought the brown one with the red string shown in the photo above, but it’s even cuter in person, which is another plus. ”
promising reviews: “These boots are so comfortable that there is no break-in period required. I bought it a week before traveling to Utah to hike Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Those were dreams! I’m a standard size 8, but I bought a size 9 to give me more room and allow for thicker socks. I would also consider sizing up. ”kelly
