I love that the boots feel very durable. The top part of the boots are very fluffy and soft which was one of the reasons i purchased them. I ordered a size bigger than what my daughter normally wears in boots. When they arrived today I had my daughter try them on and they were as small as the boots I was trying to replace. They will work for now but I purposely purchased a bigger size so that they would be able to be worn for a longer period of time.
The only reason I am opting to not return or exchange them is for the fact that a bigger size of the same boots is more than $20 price difference. I could get a different color in the next size up but for the same price.. im not sure how exaclty that works because they are the exact same boots just a different color. I just feel like its insane to pay even more money for the same boots in a bigger size especially when a different color in the exact same size is the same price.

We will deal with these boots for this winter but I will make sure to be checking out all of my options when I purchase snow boots. Especially on the price markups over sizes and colors. ( that just seems odd to me )

otherwise the boots right now seem fine, i will update if there is any changes in the status of my opinion on the product)

I bought two pairs of these for my two daughters. They normally wear a size 4.5-5 and a 5-6, but I simply measured their feet and went to the next full size (we bought size 6 & 7 big kids). The boots are very warm. My daughter's love the look and colors, they love how soft the boots are all the way inside, because they're faux-fur lined. The extra room in the boots make it easy to wear thick warm socks, too. I wear a size 8 in women's sizes, though, and even I can wear the size 7, with my toe just touching inside. They're easy for my girls to tighten, and get off their feet, too. They've worn the boots a few times already this year, and they've kept their feet warm in below freezing. We have yet to get to the really cold temps in Winter, but so far, these are the best snowboots my daughters have owned. I was only disappointed I found these boots AFTER the size 8 was sold out. I'd be getting some for myself, too - it's nearly impossible to find snowboots rated for -40f in women's boots without paying a small fortune!

Cute and expect them to be as warm as previous Kamiks we own. They do not have the extra thick liner of some other Kamiks styles, so they the sizing is "truer". Knowing that the Kamiks sizing varies widely based on style, I bought 2 pairs of boots, one 2 sizes bigger and one, 1 size bigger. If you know the accurate measurements of your child's feet, I can't imagine why anyone would need to purchase ( or recommend) going up 2 sizes, especially since this is a tall boot ( for preschoolers). My daughter is a size 10; the 12 was comical, they 11 just right- which plenty of toe room. A pair of smartwool socks underneath would be sufficient. Keep in mind the boot does not untie- it loosens via a cord cincher, so some feet may not get into these boots as easily as others!

I bought these for my twin daughters. I really liked the price for the quality of this brand of boots. The girls have had no complaints to date and they're very good about critiquing. My girls are hard on everything they wear--they're rough and tumble girls and these boots are doing ok so far (it's only been two weeks). The only critique I have is one of the girls wore hers for a school day for the entire day and it created stinky feet and boots. I imagine this might be a different scenario if they were worn outside for this amount of hours--or at least I hope so. I highly recommend these boots.

Bought these for my 11-y/o daughter (navy with pink trim). This is probably the sixth pair of boots we've ordered. She has a WIDE foot, and while the boot doesn't come in wide width, we took a chance. Happy we did! And they are cute! I'd say the boot runs a bit small or at least the sizing is different than her regular tennis shoes. She wears a size 5 kids. The 6 was too small but the 7 fit. The boots seem warm and relatively roomy. (Mom tried them on for verification. Wide foot, too.) As long as they hold up, she should be happy with them during our Colorado winters.
