Can anyone tell me if the older dicker boots are better than the more recent harder nubuck? I tried a pair on today and they were so stiff - I thought they'd be much softer. Will they break in?

Hi Juicy I have both and my new "harder" ones got just as comfortable as my older ones after a few wears... Exactly the same comfort now :)

Amazing! Thank you for your quick reply. :smile1: Are the newer ones more resilient in the rain or is there no real difference? i.e don't wear either in the rain! (Impossible feat in London!) :graucho:

Well my "justification" for buying the second pair (cookoo I know) was so I could wear them rain snow or shine with no worries. So one "beater" pair and one "good" pair. So far it hasn't been too too much rain or snow so I don't know for sure if they are more resilient but they definitely feel tougher and I gave em a spritz of some leather protect spray for good measure. I love wearing them without feeling precious about them because of the "backup" pair (again, cookoo I know) :)

Lol! You're not cuckoo! I am totally hearing you! I'm watching a couple of pairs on ebay and one are this years and one pair is from 2011 so I just wanted a gauge of which would be better to put my bid on. :smile1:

Hi, ladies! Long time reader, first time poster in this forum!
Can I please ask if someone bought the nowles snowboot. Where I live it they could be really useful, but I am concerned about their sole. Will it be ok on slippery, icy roads and sidewalks?
Thank you in advance for your input!

Hi, I have the Nowles in black and i love them, they're so cozy and warm!! I haven't yet had the chance to wear them in snow or icy conditions but I imagine they'll be able to handle these conditions absolutely fine. The sole has fairly good tread and thickness.

Thank you, surferrosa, for your reply! They have started to really grow on me. I hope I will be able to score a pair on sale!
I think they will be a nice change from my ecco snow boots...
Could you please share if they are fully lined? I mean, even inside the shoe? Oh, and how is sizing?
Thanks in advance!

I am a UK 6, EU 39 and I got these in size 39 and they fit perfectly. They are fully lined in shearling so super soft. I've had no comfort issues at all!! They also seem to wear very weill. I've worn them loads of times and they still look as new.
