AXNY Women's Dylan-3 Rain Shoe

I usually never write reviews but I relied on reviews to purchase these shoes so I wanted to write one of my own.** I took the note about sizing into consideration and ordered a size up - I'm a 7.5 and ordered an 8.5. I probably could have gotten away with only going half a size up but I'm fine with a little room too for the most part.Good things first: I really love the look of these shoes. They're nice and slim but still have a hearty look to them. Of course the materials aren't as high-quality as the original Duck Boot from LL Bean, but they do a good enough job of representing a nice product. I also love that the toes are lined! My toes get so cold in the winter months (even in Texas) and I didn't find many knock off duck boot options with anything more than the exposed rubber, so these are awesome in that department. The laces and eyelets are also great! Often times, with cheaper boots, the eyelets are usually weak or misplaced, but I have no complaints here. There is little arch support but with ordering a size up, I could easily insert an insole to fix that. They're super cozy otherwise.Bad things: the bottoms of the shoes have been a little squeaky against most surfaces, which isn't a huge deal, but it is important to note. They're not completely flat either which is usually well known for these shoes, but something to keep in mind for those who are less steady on their feet. My biggest complaint and the reason for the 3-star-rating is buckling of the "leather." I like to lace my boots tight to both keep my pants tucked in, and also to keep them secure on my feet, but when tightly laced, the sides start to buckle. There seems to be too much fabric where the laces pull tighter together because even with a moderately tight lace, the sides touch. For one, this doesn't allow me to lace them as tight as I'd want, but it also causes the excess fabric to pinch outward. If you are okay with lacing them loosely (a slip on type of arrangement) then these would be okay, but I'm not 100% into that idea so I'm still deciding if I will even keep them at this point - I won't be wearing them during that decision period, don't worry.I attached photos of the "tight" lacing where the fabric folds, and the loose lacing option that works aesthetically.

I love these boots for their appearance! However, when it comes to quality they are not the best. I am a size 10-11 and I ordered a size 11 thinking that they would be a bit big so I could wear thick socks. When they came I could tell by their appearance that they were small. I checked the size to be sure that they did not send me the wrong ones and it was the correct size. They do fit me but definitely will not fit with thick socks. So for me, it is fine but if you are ordering them I would recommend ordering a size larger than what you usually wear. Also over time, the inner fleece has worn down a bit and they are a little roomier so maybe after a while of wearing them, I will be able to wear my thick socks!

Really pleased with these boots. I ordered a size larger based on previous review, which are indeed a size too big for me. Although I don't mind because it allows room for thick socks, ones that I would normally wear with boots anyway. As with all these type of boots, they become very uncomfortable to walk in after a few hours or so because they're very flat-footed. I would invest in shoe insoles (no matter what manufacturer you buy from with this style). The only real problem is that it's very loose at the top so tying the laces tight will just make the sides overlap. Also because it's loose at the top, it tends to bend while walking, chipping away at the material a bit.

This is a good boot for the price. My feet stay dry during rain. They aren’t the most comfortable shoes I own but definitely worth the price. If you plan on walking in them for extra long periods of time these probably wouldn’t be great. I wear them to cold and rainy sporting events and they’re perfect. I would definitely purchase another pair at this price!

These are not high-quality, but I live in Florida and simply bought them for a trip to New York. They would definitely not be good for every day use, as the leather is already starting to show fold lines after a few days of wear. The fit is rather odd. The actual foot area is not that big. For me, it was the ankle/ leg area. It was very wide, so that caused the "leather" to crease. These are MUCH cheaper than LL Beans or Sperry's though, so to me, it was still a good deal!

Bought these for my wife who is a size 9. Had to send them back for a size 10. Other than the sizing issue that seems already well known with these boots these boot seem to do well in cold weather. Wife is a Sandiego girl in Boston winter. She says that they keep her feet warm and dry. They look stylish and the bottoms are made of a rubber that grips ice well! Recommended as long as you size up!

A bit snug, but overall I really like these boots. They keep my feet dry, which was the main reason for buying them. The color is super cute, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. The held up well this past winter, and I live in a wintery place (upstate NY, its cold, and its very very snowy). Only downfall is they are a bit tight on my feet, but im hoping with more wear they will break in.

Definitely run small! Order at least a size bigger. I’m a solid 8. Per the reviews, I ordered a 9. I should have gone with a 9.5. I took these to Europe this winter. We did A LOT of walking. They’re 100% waterproof and warm. My feet were never cold. Honestly, though, they’re not that comfortable. I had some serious blisters. There’s minimal cushioning. Inserts will be your friend. I know for next time. For the price, overall they’re not a bad shoe.
