Jackpot Bootie (Women)

I found this boot to be a little wider at the ankle than other Ryka shoes. I was wearing midweight wool socks because it was supposed to be a little on the cool side today. It not only wasn't cooler, but it was also humid, yet my feet did not get hot like they often do, nor sweat. Very impressive breathability. Even with the ankle being a little wider I did not feel any slipping nor did I have a blister at the end of the day. I went from the doctor's office, to the lab, to the dentist, got a haircut, and braved the crowd at Walmart (12/23) because I had just moved and needed (the wants will come later) a few essential items. So the boots and I got a good workout and I was very pleased at how comfortable they were from the beginning of the day to the end. The sole seems to be sturdy and not likely to cause a slip except perhaps on ice. The only complaint I have, and the reason I only gave it 4 stars, is that the length of the shoelaces is ridiculously short! The reason I wear wide shoes is due to a bunion on my left big toe. My right foot is a regular width but even after tightening that boot up, I was barely able to make a bow.

Happened to order these boots on sale just in the nick of time. Have worn them daily for the past several weeks after getting about 11vinches of snow. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly, right out of the box. They don't actually look like "snow boots" but they have been very warm and water resistant too! Seem quite sturdy so far and I've been very impressed. Soooo glad I got them!
