Moving to AK need warmth, not these tho''. I loved thise online, ... look so cute and comfy. However, when I got them I was rather disappointed. I have a wide foot and these just looked awful on my feet. Also, the heel is shorter than it appears on the picture, it's basically a flat. ... cute and seemed very warm, just weren't meant for me. Maybe if you have thin calves and a narrow foot.
This shoe runs a half size large. Consider ordering a half size smaller.

Best ... I''ve ever owned! I could not have asked for a better online purchase. [...] I'm not entirely sure why I still bought the ... first place-- although the reviews were averaged at 4 stars, many mentioned discomfort, stiffness and "only wear if you absolutely have to" type cons. I have owned them for about a month now and could not be more impressed! ... heavier ... but in Michigan winters with lake effect snow ... MUST. I don't see why people go on wearing Uggs in 3 feet of snow and ice. The fur and lace up detailing make these ... stylish and fun, but still practical. I can't believe I've gone the past 8 years (or however long since I insisted on wearing "stylish" ... wet, cold feet in the winter! Wearing these, my feet have been toasty warm! As as for the arch support, I do have flat feet, so the minor lack of arch doesn't bother me. I also have thin feet, but the fit on these is snug and perfect. I ordered the 7 but usually wear a 7.5. I think the only reason people described them as being too big is because of the "bulk" from the rubber bottom, and the stiffness decreases the more you wear them. I highly recommend them!
Large but worth it in the cold I agree that the leather up the back of the ... bends in and tries to murder the achilles tendon, but it is worth the bandaids and breaking in my feet and the ... these. I got frostbite on my toes before I bought these (due to a stubborn dog and -20 weather) but these are SO amazing that my feet warm up in them in about one minute flat. ... right height for dealing with snowdrifts, the fake fur does not get messed up in snow, and once ... break in (about 5 short wearings) ... worth the pain as ... get really comfortable.

The reviews helped, i''m glad i read them first... My feet are really narrow, and I'm usually a size 7.5/8... I got a size 7 and I have plenty of room still, but I'm not the type to like snug fits anyway. I wonder how small a 6 would fit me, but I didn't want to chance it. This ... isn't for you if you don't like to break shoes in though, ... really stiff and jab at the back of your ankles at first. But ... super cute, and stylish, and warm!!

Snow Angel Every year I have to buy waterproof boots and they never keep my feet dry or warm. I order these boots and I can wear them all day in comfort outside in the snow and the rain my feet feels great. My friends wanted to know were I got these boots. I told them. Now they are getting a pair. I wear a size 8 wide so I order size 8 wide. You don't even have to order a size up. Wow now I know why they call these boots "SNOW ANGEL" for the first time I finally got a pair that that fits just right and keeps my feet warm and dry and happy.. I know now were to buy my weather boots in the near future from the Piperlime store!!
Awesome! I've owned a pair of Sorel boots for over 20 years and they have been wonderful! They are big and clunky so I was looking for a new pair of smaller, more fashionable boots. These boots fit my needs perfectly!!! I can wear them with jeans or cords and look fine, while keeping my feet warm and dry. I love Sorel - they are the best for snowboots :)
Very Pleased Yankee I have been looking for cute but practical boots for a long time. I live in the middle of New Hampshire. I have to deal with snow, slush, ice, and mud. The rubber base protects from the wet weather, the lining is warm (I have yet to have cold feet all winter), they have held up and I get compliments from envious folks all the time. I am usually a 9 1/2 and a 9 worked for me. I take my dog for a walk every night in these boots; they are comfortable enough for everyday activity. I am also impressed by the traction on the sole. I felt the ... stop me from sliding on a number of occasions. I find I can tuck my pants into them with moderately tasteful results; jeans can be a bit bulky. I am really impressed with the quality, they have been beaten up already this winter and they still look good. The one complaint I can think of is they do not go on easily at first. I think there is to much friction from the lining and the sock. The more I wear them the better they go on.
This ... great! These boots are really great in the snow! They're surprisingly lighweight, yet very sturdy in the snow and I love wearing them. I have a pair of the Sorel "Caribou" boots, but they're much heavier than the "Snow Angel" and I must say I prefer the "Snow Angel" so much more. They're light, fluffy, super soft and so comfortable for snow boots. I love them!
Perfectly cozy, very cute and extremely practical These boots are exactly what I needed and wanted in a winter every day ... have worn them to work and been very comfortable, but in the cold and snow they are sturdy and protective from the elements. i bought them in each color, and am very happy with both. I have many pairs of boots, and these are my new favorites. It also helps that they are so affordable, I guess if they were real sheepskin they would have cost twice as much, but the fake fur is so soft that I don't need them to be real fur. Piperlime also has the best price for these.
TOASTY! These boots keep my feet very warm (and my feet are always cold). They look great with jeans, and the waterproof lower section keeps your feet dry. FAB winter boots: outside looks good and keeps winter OUT, while luxe inside faux fur feels great on my tootsies and keeps them super warm. (So warm that I can only wear these on cold days.. these are not 50 degree weather boots!)
great boots These boots are warm, fit well and are relatively light weight for snow boots. I have been looking for good boots for a long time. These are great! [...]
Love it!! Ive got so many compliments and people asking were ive got these boots... they are warm and comfy. i love these boots! my only complaint is that they seem alittle big, this coming from a women with small feet. but i love, love, love these boots. they really come in handy when its snowing outside.
Perfect in every way! These are the perfect boots. They fit me perfectly. The height is just right and oh are they ever comfortable! The best part is how gorgeous they look with everything. The construdtion is superb and they are WARM. The absolute best pair of boots I have ever owned!
Simply Awesome Boots! I bought these boots because they looked warm and comfy, and very cute, but also because they are waterproof and have Thinsulate in them, so they are practical (helps to rationalize purchases!). I normally wear a size 10, but I also wear orthotics in my shoes. They don't have a 1/2 size in these, so I ordered an 11. They fit PERFECTLY! There is a little room in the front, but other than that, they fit as they should. They are comfy, lightweight, and soooooooo soft!! I'm so glad that I ordered these boots!
These boots seem like they will cover my bases Got these conveniently delivered right to my building and when I went down to the lobby to pick them up, I was pleased they were here in the time span they were supposed to have been (since this is my first time buying shoes or boots online), but the delivery box was rather humongeous - which, if I wanted to send them back for exchange would have been a bit cumbersome to do. But the boots themselves seem to be true to-size, very comfy (without socks) with the all important traction I must have and I think perfect for blizzardy conditions, tons of ice and frozen slush for days that usually predominates in the area of the city right next to the river where I live. Good for running to the store or even while walking to get a cab (and then of course changing when I'd get to dinner or a business meeting), since although as others have mentioned they are cute, they are too clunky/workboot like to wear for going out or for a formal business meeting. But i think they will be my go to tundra weather security blanket footgear for quite some time to come and at [$] a very good basic investment. Only qualm though was that the pile lining and cuff was not at all as luxurious and fluffy as it appeared in the photo (which would have made the ... more attractive and stylish) and actually a bit on the skimpy side and yeah, as others have said too, they make your feet look clunky, but for me this is a small price to pay overall for a snow ... know will serve me so well and I can't wait to wear them knowing I'll be nice and safe AND protected from the aforesaid elements in them, hands down. And I would def order online from your company again, baased upon my experience so far...,
Saw on the Today Show - had to have them! With all the snow on Long Island this year, I knew I needed a good pair on snow boots - well these fit the bill. These boots keep your foot warm and dry. I would recommend to others.
love the ''bous Saw these boots in the [...]magazine and absolutely fell in love. I just received them as an early Christmas gift and enjoy them even more than imaginable. I read reviews before asking my parents for them and had them order a size down and they fit perfectly!! The are rather clunky so if you are looking for small, sleek boots these are not for you, but if you want big comfy boots these are amazing! I am sure I will be a Sorel wearer for years to come!
Ugh Wow - the other reviewers weren't joking when they said these boots make your feet look HUGE. I felt like I was wearing clown shoes when I wore them during the recent snowfall. I usually wear an 8 or an 8.5; I got these in the 8 and they're big in the foot while being too tight at the ankle, making it difficult to walk. Another thing that really annoys me about these boots is that there is an inner, insulated sock that is super tight, so when you pull your feet out the insulated sock comes out too, so you have to stuff it back in before you can wear the boots again. There have got to be loads of better snow boots out there... I sure wish I had ordered one of those. I ended up wearing them because I needed warm, waterproof boots to wear in the snow so I can't return, but will most likely offload these on [@] They're HORRIBLE.
No way. I actually saw these boots last year and was excited to order them when Piperlime had a 20% off coupon. However, when I received them, I was very disappointed, especially since I've been looking at them since last fall. I'm a size 7, and these boots made my feet look HUGE. I know that snow boots are supposed to be big and chunky, but these were ridiculous. Maybe on someone tall they would look less ridiculous, but for my 5'4 size 2 frame, they looked like clown shoes. Honestly made it look like I had size 11 feet. Unless you are looking to make your feet look 4 sizes bigger, find another pair of snow boots!

flat boots - reviews
awesome ... These ... honestly great; they are super warm and totally waterproof, i didn't even have to spray them first. I've found it really difficult to find cute ... *actually* meant to wear in the winter, where water and snow didn't soak through after just a couple of blocks of walking but so far these are great (haven't tested them in snow yet, though). They run a tiny bit big I think, I normally fall b/w a 9-9.5 but the 9s were perfect. They're also pretty light weight for how warm they are and look cute w/ skirts, too. When you get them they look a little flat in color but they scratch up and color along with their use so they don't look so weird (i.e. making them look 'worn' actually makes them much cuter). Anyway, great ... finally am confident that I can walk a mile to school in the winter now and my feet won't be soaked and freezing by the time I get there.
Good multipurpose ... I like this ... wanted something multi purpose-dressy, casual, snow. After researching/shopping for 6+ mos. I decided on these. They fit my requirements perfectly. However, I was disappointed that they came already scuffed in the box. These are not a shiny leather but very flat and scuff easily. I am hoping it just adds to the character of the ...
great winter ... i love these ... waterproof, warm and the color (brown) is beautiful. i wear between 8.5 and 9 and ordered both....debated a while between them but decided on the 8.5 and hope ... stretch a bit width wise (9s felt loose, especially around the ankle, so zipper would cut in; i also plan to wear these with tights, mostly). the only drawback for me is that my second toe is longer than my big toe, and the shoe angles down from the big toe to the pinky toe so i think that makes the 8.5 feel a bit tight; if your second toe is shorter than your big toe you won't have this issue. i like the look, it's just for me i wish it went straight across just a little bit more. no problems getting into the shoe (i am more flat footed).
Chic and comfy ... I looked forever for stylish ... flat heel. I'm a Merrell fan, own several pairs, and these ... don't disappoint. They are very comfy and are super stylish. Look great with skirts and leggings. I love that they are both cute and edgy. Only drawback for my pair is that the left ... little bit smaller (toes scrunched a little) than the R and my right foot is bigger than my left!! Right ... fits perfect. That tells me that they didn't get the sizing correct for the left ... Other than that, I love em!
Super comfy footbed and arch support; size description is wrong. These ... have a very comfy footbed, especially great built in arch support (I've got super flat feet and always searching for shoes with decent arch support). The foot opening is somewhat narrow so it takes a bit more effort to put my feet in the shoes, but I'm hoping that with time, the leather will soften up and make it easier to put them on. There is just enough room to tuck my jeans in, and I've got thin calves, so if you have wide calves, this ... may not work. Plus, the shaft size listed is INCORRECT! I thought I was getting a taller ... It's really 13 inches, coming halfway up the calf, and NOT 15. The leather is a nice darker brown with hint of red. These shoes are a keeper.
Cute but a little chunky ... were cute, but the toe box was a little too wide for the more feminine look I was going for. They were also a little short for tall ... Ordered a full size larger than I wear in flats without socks and ... fit well with a little extra room for inserts or thick socks. Also fit my calves just fine (I have huge calves). Have other cute shoes to wear with casual so I returned them for the Merrell Spire Peaks which are a little dressier for the skirts I needed a tall ...
Not for large calves First of all, I love this ... only one that seemed to meet my expectations of a flat, leather ... personality but not a lot of hardware (buckles, straps, etc) that were not slouchy looking or had major winter details (shearling, faux fur, etc). I had read just about every single review of this ... had looked at them multiple times in stores, but was never able to try them on because they had sold out of my size. I finally broke down and bought them here and was so excited the day I knew they were going to arrive. Others had mentioned having larger calves and having these ... fit just fine, so I thought I might luck out. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I have 16" calves and I couldn't even zip them up the last 3.5" inches. I am so upset to have to return these; I don't think I'm going to find another pair of ... love so much. (I did e mail Merrell to see if they intend to make their styles in a wide calf version... awaiting a reply from them.) Like some others had mentioned, the foot opening is a little tight, but with a bit of pulling, they went on fine. The brown leather is such a rich color and would go with both black and brown clothes. The foot bed fit to size and they seemed like they would have been really comfy to wear.
Perfect flat ... I wore these ... so many times throughout winter and ... still look brand new now. The leather hasn't creased or stained and the sole doesn't look worn at all! ... so comfortable and warm. Looking forward to wearing them again this winter!
perfetct for price I was looking for a flat ... carmel/tan color and didn't want to spend too much. ... look more expensive then ... comfortable for casual wear. These are exactly what I was looking for.
good all around ... these ... great for the price! the leather is soft and while ... bit tough to get on, all it takes is a little pull and you are good to go. i have larger calves from biking, but the circumference is at least a 15, unlike some of the other web sites saying it is only 13". i normally wear an 8 or 8.5, but got the size 8 in these. the 8.5 were too big in the toe area, but my left little toe is somewhat tight (only have worn them two times)! overall a great buy if you are looking for an inexpensive, flat ...
Great ... price I injured my back this year and I am in the process of changing over my entire shoe wardrobe to flats. Ugh. So I have been looking for stylish, different, flat shoes that are not that expensive since I need to buy a lot (well, want to buy a lot). These ... fantastic. I am a true size 8 with a narrow heel and normal calf. ... fit well. I like the pointed toe versus a round toe and the slouch looks great. Not sure how long ... hold up but I am hoping next season I am back in heels!
Exactly what I wanted I was looking for a flat black ... perfect. I am in between sizes so I went for the larger size. The heel is a little loose but the toes are really comfortable. I read an earlier review and bought gel inserts and I'm glad I did. It's a great casual ... wear with skinny jeans mostly. It feels good to get exactly what I was looking for.
cute and affordable I bought a pair in black. ... my go to flat ... fit true to size and like all steve madden shoes you may have to add an insole for additional comfort.
Great Cute ... These ... great. ... were a little narrow until ... stretched out. The leather is soft and doesn't look inexpensive. The 3/4 heel is no big deal, with my insoles ... feel just like flats.
Lover of Heels I am from the burbs, which means I wear high heels all the time even in SF. I tried to be a good city girl and get sensible flat ... upcoming winter/fall season. ... fit just fine. ... were comfortable. But at the end of the day I just wasn't wowed by them - ... were just nondescript flat black ... It's going to take a truly exceptional pair of flat ... get this lover of heels to strut about at my true height (5'4").
Don''t waste your time I was looking for a somewhat flat ... brown for quite some time, when I saw these and at a reasonable price, I was very excited to get them. When ... arrived I could not have been more disappointed. The leather looks and feels super cheap, the lining is a really cheap foam type material and one ... slightly different shade of brown from the other. Huge fail, I expect more from the Steve Madden brand. Don't waste your time on these, keep shopping!
Very particular style... That I don't care for. The toes were much more pointy than I expected, and with a flat unadorned ... means Peter Pan feet. I'm probably a minority on this ... style though, since the reviews were excellent when I bought them. If you like a more rounded toe, bohemian chic natural style, keep looking....
Not for me I had been looking every where for a pair of flat black ... wear with skinning jean and leggings and thought I had finally found a pair. ... looked trendy and were reasonably priced, perfect I thought. However when I received them I tried them on with several outfits and ... never looked quite right, took them on a vacation and tried them on again with some outfits and ... didn't look right again. I finally had to return them because multilple friends and my boyfriend said ... didn't look good. Sorry ladies...they just didn't work for me.
