Customer Reviews Khombu Highland

Cute but not comfy - I really wanted to love these boots. It took me forever to find a pair and this is the style I was looking for. Unfortunately the suede smooshes down when you wearing them and its digging into the back of my heel. They're super cute and keep my feet warm, but I haven't been able to wear them because of the way the upper part has conformed around my ankle.

Not too happy.... I bought the boots for our snow skiing trip in March, however it got below 30 degrees last week here in Texas, and I was able to use my boots. They are very comfortable, have good arch support, and very cute. The only thing is, I was very disappointed in how COLD my toes got! The tops of my feet were freezing. That is not going to help much in the snow. I don't understand why but I guess I will make due.

THESE ARE NOT WARM BOOTS! Not too happy either. THESE ARE NOT WARM BOOTS! Unfortunately I had to wear these boots outside in the snow to find that I was unhappy with them - and then I couldn't return them! The boots are really cute, and pretty comfy, BUT after just 10 minutes outside my toes were freezing. The lining is thin and wears away quickly. All that rubber provides poor insulation from the cold.

I love these boots! They are warm in the snow and rain, and are super comfortable on the daily walk to my office. I highly recommend them. They have great support.

Great Snow Boots - These boots kept my feet super warm and were very comfortable even in the -17 degree Celsius weather I wore them in. The tread kept me from slipping too much on the ice.

Warmest Boots I've Ever Owned! I am one of those women always complaining that her hands and feet are too cold. After several winters where my feet were so cold I developed chilblains, I decided that this year I would invest in quality boots that would really keep my feet warm. I hoped they might be cute(ish) too, and these boots fit the bill. They are still a bit duck-bootish, but I am willing to trade some stylishness for waterproofing. I've worn them in deep snow, shoveling for over an hour, and my feet stayed toasty. Victory! I ordered one whole size larger, and there is a little room, but they are not "too big." An extra pair of thick socks, or a sheep's wool insole would fit comfortably inside them.

PERFECT - I badly needed waterproof boots, so I just bought the coolest ones in my price range- I couldn't have found more perfect boots if I'd spent a thousand dollars. Comfy, warm, waterproof, versatile, cute, and funky!

Great shoe for bad weather! I searched high and low for a good snow boot that's not too expensive. This one is excellent. We had a few weeks of slippery, icy, slushy conditions and the boot has helped me keep steady. They don't have a plush lining like Ugg boots, but they are warm enough. I wear a 7.5 and got these in an 8 in the tan color, and they're perfect with a thick pair of socks. They look very cute with tucked-in jeans. They have kept my feet warm and dry and I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Beautiful! I wanted the tan look but the black works out just fine! The insolated soles and material inside the shoe keeps my feet from freezing and the look is not only trendy but unique enough to be a class above what others are wearing for boots nowadays. I got a size 7 but sometimes I can where a 6.5. If you too can sometimes where a half size smaller, you might want to get this boot in that half size because I think they run a little big. However, if you have a wide foot, take the whole size for needed comfort. I absolutely love this boot. I have admirers of the boot as well as envious ones who compliment me on them well after they have seen me in them.

Comfortable and warm - I love this boot but fortunately I haven't had to wear it since we haven't had a big snow yet. But, I know I'm ready with the perfect boot when it does happen.

Great boots! I love these boots! Bought the red ones and they look cute, but they're also really warm and really comfortable. Good traction in the snow too.

Great! First time I have tried this brand, and I love them! Very warm and very comfortable to wear. Great for snow.

A snow boot with style - I've worn this boot several times this winter. It's great in the snow... warm, waterproof and good grip, but I also got compliments when i left it on during the day with black corduroy pants. I bought it in the red/rust color and it was a great look with black and white. It was also comfortable enough to wear all day!

Comfy boots - I got these boots for the stormy weather we were going to have in Connecticut... and they came in handy! They are warm and definitely comfortable and great traction for the slippery road. However, you do need extra layers of socks if you're planning on walking through deep snow, as they aren't very warm. Otherwise, no complaints. The rubber part enables you to trudge through puddles which's great in this snowy weather with all the melted snow in the corners. They are adorable!

I do not recommend this boot - As previous reviewers have said, the lining wears away quickly and then your feet get cold, cold, cold. Mine get cold just driving to work in the car! These boots give me blisters too...the spot where the boot transitions from rubber to suede upper pushes through the lining on the inside (which quickly wears out) and rubs against my heel. Not pleasant! I bought these last year and am very unhappy. Will not buy another pair of Khombu's again. Just ordered a pair of Kamiks and will wear them inside for awhile just to make sure I like them. Do not buy these boots!

Snow - A comfortable boot even with thick socks and an orthotic in place.

Snow boots - Great looking, fitting and comfortable snow boots. What I really like about them is they are stylish mixed in with all the above...a hard combination to find at a reasonable price!!!

Outstanding - Wonderful warm boot. True to fit.

I wear a size 9 in shoes and these fit fine. If extra room is needed the bottom foot insert can be taken out. I can also wear thick socks with them no problem. I like that I can drive comfortably in them and bend my ankles. Very comfy. However I do find that my socks are slightly damp at the toes after a night of delivering newspapers and sludging through the slush and snow. Also the foot insert bunches up and feels uncomfortable so most of the time I take it out. My biggest complaint is that they are heavy for me when I have to get in and out of car a lot. At the end of the night they feel like a ton, but when I wear them any other time they are fine. It's also a pain to pull the laces tight and loosen all to take on and off. Ordered a pair of Khombu Upland 2 and they are much lighter and have a zipper. Love them but unfortunately the are not true to size by a half size too small and thinner. No wiggle room.

These boots are as promised. I think they might be improved with more solid body of the shoe (the boot shaft is a touch too floppy) and a better lined/insulated footbed.

Tan Khombu boots - Very warm boots. Only disappointment is that they are not completely waterproof. I wore them through many puddles and my feet stayed ALMOST dry... at least better than store rainboots. The fleece lining helps to keep feet dry. However overall these boots are great and VERY warm so for the price they are perfect. I'm keeping them!

Very cute... I love the way these boots look. The top can be folded for the cuff look or straight and are easily worn with pants over the boot or tucked in. The best part about these boots is that you can actually drive in them. Unlike most boots -these bend at the ankle. Warmth wise I am not sure. I believe that they may not be the warmest boots as I am wearing them around the house my feet feel cool. But for me they will serve their purpose. Waterproof, bendable and just enough height to keep the snow from getting inside the boot while I at my job. I can't understand though how everyone is saying these are true to size. I ordered a size 9. I always wear a nine in any footwear except on rare occasions in athletic shoes I can wear an 8.5. Well, they just fit. No wiggle room -almost to the point of being too tight around the toes and like another reviewer mentioned the back was rubbing my heel. I couldn't even wear these comfortably without socks. That's how true to size they aren't. I reordered a size 10 and now they are perfect. I put them up to my other shoes I have at home and they are the same length. Worst part is...I searched forever for the perfect boot and now I don't want to wear them outside and get them dirty.

Haven't actually needed to wear them yet but... I bought them for winter/rain & haven't needed to wear them yet but they are comfortable & definitely look like they'll be warm & waterproof.
