Shellback

Both my teen daughter and I needed new snow boots. We both wear an 8.5-9 narrow, although my foot is a bit narrower than hers. I ordered these for her. When she described the length as ok, but overall too tight in a odd way, I tried them on. I think they fit me better than any snow boot I've ever had, including a previous pair of Kamiks that lasted for well over 10 years. These actually fit me in width, and the arch is perfect! (The arch is what seemed to not work for her.) I don't recall ever having a snow boot that this well fit in width, because usually snow boots don't come in narrows. These are very warm, and really comfortable on me. So, overall, if you have the correct shape narrow foot, they are wonderful! Note that I think they run a full size or more small in length (ie, we got a size 10, which fits my 8.5-9 foot.)

It is IMPOSSIBLE to slide feet into these boots. Whatever change they made to the liner sucks. I LOVED my last pair but the liner has since changed and it is so hard to cram my feet in due to the fabric that the liner is made from now.

Loved loved these boots but I am an 8, ordered a 9, and they were still too small. Really too bad as they are great.

My daughter wore them for a walk with snow shoes and ended up with two large blisters on her heels.

Get a bigger size! Truly, I never have to buy a full size up but this shoe doesn't even compare from the exterior with my other shoes, or the other sized shoes I tried -- it looks an inch shorter! I thought it was mis-marked. Plus there's the removable liner which is probably thicker than more shoes' lining material, so it's already bound to be tight fit with this style of boot. Other than that the style and design looks great. Removable liner is synthetic and probably hand washable, or maybe machine and air dry? The Faux covers any overhang of liner. Love the added front center pull tap location on the laces (the Sorels I tried also have that, but they don't have removable liners). The center anchor allows you/the laces to really cutom shape the boot to your feet/ankles. Looks like it will have good traction, too.

The fit was not what I expected my toes felt like I hammered them down but little did I know that I had to order a size more than what I normally use but with some little fixes and insoles I fixed the problem. So I gave I a five star since it was my fault for not reading reviews.

I bought a size 8 and it was too small with the insulated insert and too big without it. Sent it back to exchange for a different style.

Love Kamik but not these! Way too narrow and uncomfortable. Back they go.

I really wanted these to fit. Liked the style, arch support and the warmth rating. However, the heel area was very wide and I couldn’t keep my feet in them. The toe area was also a bit narrower. The length was right so I couldn’t have tried a smaller or larger size.
