Everyone should own a comfortable pair of boots for when the occasion calls for them & also to be fashionably cute. I adore boots that have a little extra flair like a fur liner so when I was offered the chance to review the Women's Empire Hi Fur 6-inch Boots from Lugz, I couldn't say no. They offer the boots in six different colors include a lovely rose pink color, however I usually am dressed in all black so I went with the all black boots.
We enjoy going hiking together as a family, we go camping and we enjoy being out in nature so these boots are perfect for when we are out and I need better protection than sneakers offer. We recently drove a few hours up to Northern Arizona to play in the snow, which provided the perfect opportunity to really test these boots out. The fur isn't only around the liner of the ankle, but it also goes down the inside of the boots tongue which adds extra cushion for your feet. The fit of these is perfect for me, no squished toes or heels rubbed raw.
The bottoms are made of rubber and are built to be slip and water resistant, they did fantastic walking around in the snow. The only issue I had was that the snow we were in was fairly soft due to it being fresh so with all of the walking around it got a little packed in the bottom of my boots, so when I was going down hill on a sidewalk that was already a little slippery there was an instant where I felt a little slippage but once I knocked all of the snow out of my boot everything was fine.
Even though I was running around in the snow, some spots even going up past my ankle these boots didn't let any snow or water into them. My feet stayed dry, comfortable and most of all warm the entire time we were out, I loved having them on because not only were they comfortable but they look great as well. I did end up re-lacing them before wearing them as I usually don't like the way shoes come pre-laced.
The insides of the shoes have a Flexastride memory foam insole that feels like a little cloud in your boots. The boots have a deep pure black coloring to them that looks gorgeous in person, even after playing in the snow, walking in a little bit of a muddy area and walking around in a wet grassy area the boots still stayed fairly clean. If they do get dirty they are easy to wipe off with a damp wash cloth. I am a some what short so I also like that these boots give me an extra 1 to 1 1/2 inches in height. The boots will help keep your feet protected while working, hiking or playing and they aren't that heavy so you won't feel weighed down walking around for long periods of time. These boots can be purchased for $84.99 on their website along with a dozen other styles.
