Polar Fox Men's Casual Cap-Toe Ankle Boot Collection | Lace-Up Work, Combat, and Chukka Styles

Okay, for full disclosure, I have something of a boot fetish. I mean, it's not anything that gets in the way of my life, and I don't really need therapy or professional help for it, but I like boots. Not in any unnatural way mind you. I just like them. And I live in Southern California, where it's too warm for boots about 10 months of the year, so that's a problem... but I digress. As a consequence of my obsession, I have a lot of boots. Like children, cats, and desserts, there are some I like more than others. These are my new favorite boots. By a long shot. But it's like art, they aren't going to be for everyone. I just like the way they look. They are comfortable. They fit great (I'm usually an 11, but got a 10.5 based on other reviews here. The fit is perfect). They slide on and off easily. They are Southern California heavy, but probably not something you'd want to hike the Alps in. No big deal there, the Alps are a ways away from me. Since buying these boots and wearing them around town, my life has changed in so many ways. I'm lifting heavier weights at the gym, even though I don't wear these boots to the gym. Women find me more attractive. Heck, men find me more attractive. Packs of dogs follow me around, sniffing at the awesomeness of my new boots. I see colors brighter and more vibrantly. Food tastes better. I've stopped snoring. My boss is still a clueless jerk, and my ex-wife is still insane, but I'll take what I can get here.... they are just boots after all. Seriously, if you want a nice pair of lightweight casual boots that look good with jeans or ass-less leather chaps, just buy these. You won't be disappointed.

Great looking boot. Especially cool with a slim cut jean. Seems to be made of great quality. Even smells like real leather!

Very stylish, get lots of compliments. The laces are very long, but I understand they're meant to wrap around the ankle (mine are too thick for that, unfortunately). Very snug fit, which I like (size 13). Zipper on the side is incredibly convenient. Having bought them almost a year ago, I am adjusting my review. Winter and Spring were not terribly kind to these boots. The weather and conditions caused coniderable degradation. For example: the sole is separating from the rest of the boot, and the interior lining on one of them has been torn to shreds. I attribute this mainly to wearing to boots recklessly. Try not to wear these as an every day kind of thing, and keep them out of rough conditions. That being said, they are still comfortable and stylish. I have bought another pair of Polar Fox boots to replace mine.

Look good and they are comfortable. Easy on off with the side zipper. Update 7 days after initial review. Sole came off front of one boot. I will not be buying any other Polar Fox boots. What a shame too they looked good and were comfortable. Very disappointed.

I was disappointed when I opened the box and realized that the boots aren’t as shiny as shown in the pictures. They are nice nonetheless, and I can polish them for a greater shine if I want but I don’t think I will. They are good as is. Unlike some reviewers, these boots do not run large. They are true to size. My size is 9.5 and I usually wear 10 in winter boots because of my thick socks (Carhartt Men’s Extremes). Because of the other reviews I decided to buy 9.5. I regret this decision. I should’ve stuck with 10. Two days ago I got another pair of boots on Amazon from another company (Global Win) for $13.00. Those boots have a nice fur inner lining. These boots have no such inner lining. The comparison is on! Intended Use - The winter season is almost over. I bought this primarily to wear each weekend for church so this will get at least 7 wears by the end of March. I will probably wear this during the week on the odd occasion. I don’t see myself as having to walk through inches of snow based on my normal routine. Since it does not have inner-fur and fits slightly tight with my winter socks, I guess I will be able to wear these boots during spring and summer. We'll see. UPDATE: I bought this pair in February 2018. It's now February 2020 and still looks great, no deterioration or defects manifested.

I have had these boots for almost a week and they are pretty good so far. They are still a bit stiff, and a little narrow for my feet, but still comfortable. They grip more than I expected, but that is a personal preference. They are neat and trim; there are not a lot of loose threads. The only issue I have are the laces are excessively long. I will look up lacing methods to trim the length a bit. Edit: After wearing these boots regularly for 3 months, I notice some problems. First, the stiffness has persisted for the most part, but that's not a big deal. The laces are sheering, which is odd for a zipping boot. My biggest issues are with the heels and soles. The glue is wearing out on the soles and I foresee them coming apart in the near future. One of the heels is also coming apart, and I imagine it will come off soon as well. I work in an office; I am not rough with these boots, so there is no reason for them to be coming apart like this so soon. I doubt these will last the rest of the year. For the quality issue, I had to reduce my rating to 3 stars. They are inexpensive boots, so you get what you pay for.

Great boots! Fashionable and reasonably warm as well.
