I had the cutest pair of snow boots a year ago, only the seller stopped
selling them online so I began a quest to find equally appealing snow
boots for this upcoming winter season.
This was basically how I came across DC Women's Chalet Suede Action
Sports Boots. They came in a bunch of different colors, but oddly enough
anything outside of the white/armor color scheme asked for double the
price, which I thought was ridiculous. However seeing that I liked the
white and gray color combination, I decided to go ahead and get them for
a low price of $49.50.
I placed my order in a size 8, and waited for them to hit my front porch.
The Quality:
Quality of the DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots are
definitely there. They are made of suede, and the DC logo on the outside
of the boots are lined with semi sparkly rhinestone silver studs. It's
just that added extra flair about the boots that initially made me buy
them.
The suede you will want to protect by spraying suede protecting spray
on them before wearing them out. I learned a hard lesson after scuffing
the suede the second I wore them.
This of course has nothing to do with the quality of the boots, it was my own fault really.
Aside from that though, there is something off about the boots, and
that is the sizing. I am normally a size 8.5 sneaker. I placed the order
for a size 8, because I knew that boots tend to run a little larger.
However the DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots run almost a
size and a half larger.
The inside boot with the faux fur trim is removable, so you can wear
these boots without the fur lining. However if you take the liner out,
the shoe is so large that it'll slip right off your foot. Now even with
the lining inside of the boot they are still almost a half a size too
large and it does not at all feel normal walking in.
The fix for this issue is that you could order a size smaller. If you
are a size 8, order the size 7. However if you placed an order too late
you could wear thicker socks for added traction, but even still it will
not feel right.
Overall:
They are comfortable boots, and they are warm. The sizing is way, way
off, but aside from that they are beautiful boots and I would highly
recommend them.
