Got these for my friend but she does like them and won't wear them. Oh well.

I finally have time to sit and write this review. They fit comfortably, look nice, and got a little wet without being in contact with a lot of water (maybe I didn't tie them properly, I am not sure) I will test them again to see. The only reason I am giving this boots 3 stars is because of the quality of the material. Unfortunately they started to rip or come apart (see attached images) not even a month after I got them. I bought them a few months back in May. If the quality was better and would still be in good condition being that they were ordered only a few months back and only used in about 10 moderate and not super long hikes in Alaska, I would have given them 5 stars.

Update: It appears that Xpeti stands by their brand and they offered and gave me a refund for these boots. I appreciate their excellent customer service and would like to give this brand another chance.

I'm so happy with my new boots 10/10 true size

XPETI Thermo mid high women's is not waterproof, my bottom of my feet have become soaked from walking in puddles and I can't figure out how the water is getting in. I tried contacting seller but there is only a chat with email. Has excellent tread with a material that even does well on ice. My trails are rough. Up down, snow still a good 12 inches in many spots, rocky, roots, and extreme muddy, deep puddles... tread through it all.. used on ice as well. Not a summer boot. Has upwards movement that aids walking along up slants or flat. But not down hill unless in snow, then snow compensates. For trip down a mountain, loosen top so you can lift up for well in order to strike heel fully first. The first couple uses my feet stayed very warm and dry but then something must have loosened her somewhere and they get soaked in the bottoms . I do go through a lot of Puddles but still . I do not submers the boots .
I have small feet around, fairly wide forefront, small heel, so do have to tie tight... thick socks, but heels stay in, not too much play in bed of foot on uneven slushy snow. Could NOT even begin to adjust Keen or Columbia enough, had to send back, and their tread was horrible on ice, and not enough for grip on snow or mud. These were excellent though... will update if any issues.( I did they were not waterproof after a few uses and I cannot contact seller without providing email and becoming part of some list)

I bought this upon the great Reviews and because it was 50% off during Prime. The show is made in high quality and I was impressed. I ordered 1/2 (1) size up as recommended. I had a hard time getting it on my foot. I have arthritis in my hands and was unable to put it on without loosing the whole shoestring from bottom to top and pull it on my foot, just to tighten the shoestring's again and I had to pull hard so they were tight. Unfortunately the shoe was so high up in the front that it bothered me very much if I made a step forward. There is NO way I could hike in them for a few hours without getting shin split or blisters. I guess High shoes like that are not meant for me. Beside that I believe it would been a very great buy because they are made extremely well.
