The velcro straps are WAY too short - I cannot understand why they weren't made a bit longer.

Would be a 5 star product if not for the straps being too short and making it nearly impossible to close the top of the boot - I'm rigging something to enable me to do that - but I should not have to do that with a boot at this price range - I truly wish I would have returned them.

I ordered this boot from Amazon's sister site, "Endless". I noticed that on that site (or some other shoe site) there was a review saying the shaft of the boot was painful. Hit her in the back of the calf. I dismissed it as it was the only review saying that. On Amazon's website several said the velcro straps wouldn't stretch easily to close. I still bought the boots anyway, b/c I thought the shape of the shoe still resembled my hard to fit foot (wide in front, narrow in back). Low & behold, the last of the shoe fit my foot perfectly, except the shaft did hit me in the back of the calf! Tried to break in at home over three days; not happening. I am short (5'2"); maybe this would be better on a taller gal. Had no problem w/straps. Note to Baffin: make sure your ankle boots cut off at the ankle, not the calf.

This is without a doubt the worst hiking boot I've ever owned. The only positive thing I can say about them is that they are warm. Other than that, run as far away from this boot as you can.

The cons are many. They run small, which for a hiking boot that one expects to wear during cold weather is especially stupid. I wear a 7.5 in US women's sizes. I ordered this boot in a size 8, and my toes still uncomfortably hit the end of the boot even when wearing my lightest weight summer socks. The elastic strap is flimsy; they slackened up significantly with only a few days' use, and you can't just pull them tighter, since they only have a small bit of velcro on the end with which to fasten closed. The back of the heel is too high -- after only a few minutes of wear, my Achilles at the base of my calf was bloody and bruised. In desperation to make this boot work, I actually took a knife and cut away almost an inch height on the back of the boot to make a suitable Achilles notch (which this height of boot should have anyway!). There is no cushioned insole of any sort, plan to buy and add one unless you want the soles of your feet to feel as if they've been pummeled with a bat.

All in all, these boots are trash. I can see why they're selling them so cheaply -- nobody can wear them because they'll cripple you! Do not buy this boot; I ended up throwing mine away after one backpacking weekend because they're so bad.

I purchased these for myself. I find them a little tight over the lower instep, but once in the boot it is very comfortable and the straps fit just fine. I am very happy with them and Baffin certainly takes pride in how they are wrapped and presented. I would probably buy another pair but these seem to be so well made that at 64 yrs young I won't need another pair...

These are a really good fit and very cute too. I got them at a good price and am very happy. I had read an other review about the strap being too short. This was not an issue for me and I don't have particularly thin ankles.

I really liked these boots. They were comfortable, warm and perfect for snow less than six inches. One big problem -- the straps which fasten the boot are too short. Or my foot is too tall. I donated them to a second-hand store. I hope they fit someone.

these boots are comfortable and quite warm. My feet have never gotten wet in these boots. At first the strap seems way too short as if the boots are defective but eventually after a few days of wear, the padding seems to become less "poofy" and the boot stretches to your foot and I now have no problem pooling my boots on.

Loved this boot, sturdy for walking in the woods and kept my feet warm through the winter. Looks very cute as well. Only downfall is that the straps are a little short but they do stretch.
