Just got my black Nowles boots in!! I've been obsessed with these since last year and finally decided on the splurge since I wanted something different from your standard Uggs for winter.. I didn't find too many reviews here so I hope this helps some of you contemplating on them:
- For sizing I took my regular IM sizing (I'm a US 7 = 38 FR -- generally size up for FR sizing) for the Nowles, I know you CAN size down if you wear thin socks or nothing at all, but it would've been quite snug for me personally, with socks and all.
- Absolutely love the hidden wedge in these, gives you a little extra height in winter when you're drowned in layers of clothing
- Very comfortable (barely notice the wedge at all) and VERY warm! The shearling lining I found to keep its warmth much better than Uggs (which tend to loose its 'fluffiness' after a few wears if that makes sense..) I've worn regular thin socks that I usually wear for summer shoes in these and my feet were super cozy.
- Haven't tried these on ice but with your regular winter snowfall weather these held up fine; I like to kick off as much snow or do a quick wipe when I'm inside somewhere so the wetness doesn't ruin the leather/suede areas (not as much of a problem compared to Uggs, which you can see the wet areas soak in right away.. the Nowles has a thicker rubber layer + leather layer, + suede so definitely love that!)
- An overall satisfying purchase. I felt that the money I spent towards them was well worth it and something that will last much longer than the Uggs that get ruined in one winter season here![]()
PS- where are those amazing leather pants from??
