[First review November 2023]

The women’s version ranges from a UK size 3 to 8.5, with every half-size option available. The width of the women’s boot is a B-medium. The men’s version has a D-width, so this is something to note if you have a wider foot or need to take a men’s size due to 8.5 being the largest women’s size.
For this review, I wore the largest size 8.5 model. I usually wear a size 9, but since the women’s version goes up to a UK 8.5, I thought I would try that. Luckily, it fitted perfectly!

The first walk I took in the boots, about 4 miles, I felt they were a little stiff, but the more I wore them, the softer the leather became and, each time, more comfortable on my foot. Since then, I have taken the boots out for multiple outings: hiking in the forest, beach walks, stroll into town, and more.
During my walk the other day, there was a massive downpour, and my feet remained bone dry, which is a real selling point for me. Furthermore, walking through wet and muddy woods, I felt confident in my steps with minimal risk of slipping. The lightweight EVA midsole gave me more confidence on uneven terrain.
The boots are on the heavy side, and when I wore them in 13 degrees Celcius ‘heat’, my feet felt warm, which was surprising as I struggle with having icy feet. I would advise wearing them when it’s a bit cooler, late autumn/winter time. On the other hand, I was pleased that my foot felt snug and protected, which is a big positive in my books.
The design is very flattering, and I have worn these boots recently with myMontane waterproof trousersas well as a pair of jeans, and they looked stylish. The Oliy distressed brown colourway I had for testing is pretty, almost dainty. Not something I’m used to from boots that provide so much protection!
I look forward to taking them to Austria in January as I think they will be great in freezing temperatures or snow. The DryShield construction, warmth and excellent traction will be great in such a climate.

What I like the most about this boot is that it doesn’t look like a typical bulky walking boot, which was the only type of boot you used to be able to get. The brand has really thought about its consumers and what they want in a boot. I am sure as the days get darker and colder, I will be wearing these boots more and more each day. Hey, I think they will even work with a pair of tights and a skirt!
