Clarks Women's Breeze Fur Ankle Boot

I 100% absolutely ADORE these boots! I own them in this color, the dark brown, and black and I really hope the green comes back in my size. Cloudstepper is an apt name because they’re like walking on a cloud! Like all Clark’s shoes they do run a bit small and I went up from my normal size 7 to a 7.5 and it is perfect! I can wear the size 7, but it has to be with thinner socks and my toes still felt a little cramped. I have problems with blisters, ingrown toenails, and something going on that causes pain in my big toe joint (I don’t know what lol) because I walk and hike a lot so I don’t like cramped toes; I also over pronate so need some extra room. Basically my feet hurt a lot but these boots actively lessen pain; not just keep my feet from hurting worse than they normally do but MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER! Which is worth any price to me! Plus these keep my feet warm; I have Raynaud’s Syndrome which means my hands and feet stay cold (I’m really not in bad health despite what this review sounds like, my feet just suck haha) so anything that keeps my toes warm is great! With a heavier weight wool sock these keep my feet warm even on really cold winter days! These do seem water resistant- I’ve worn them when the ground is wet and with light snow coming down and my feet didn’t get wet nor did the suede discolor. I haven’t gotten them soaking wet because I do want them to stay nice so I don’t know how they’d hold up walking through puddles but walking in light rain/snow to and from the car has been just fine! I also accidentally left my winter boots at home for an outdoor winter holiday event because I wore these for the two hour drive because they’re comfortable and left the others behind on accident so I was stuck having to wear these on a 28° snowy, windy night and, with the battery powered warming socks I brought with me, I actually wasn’t miserable. These obviously would not be my choice to wear in those conditions again because my super tall winter boots warm my lower legs up but I was really surprised at how much these helped (the battery warming socks kinda sucked so I don’t think they did a ton to help). These are super durable boots too- I’ve worn the dark brown constantly for months and it still looks great and feels great! They are easy to slip on and off too! All around perfect and I highly recommend! I do, however, encourage sizing up half a size. For most shoes I am a 6.5-7 (depending on socks I wear) with a 6.75 probably being my ideal size if such a thing existed and the 7.5 in these is perfect for me! Honestly what I’d encourage is to try both your normal size and a half size up and keeping the best fit. Because once you get your correct fit these are luxurious cloud stepping comfortable!
