Propét Women's Illia Snow Boot - Waterproof Winter Boots for Women with Warm Fleece Lining - Perfect for Snowy Weather, Hiking & Outdoor Activities

Run smaller than the usual Propet shoe size.Purchased September 2023 at $31.60, they are 5-stars at that price and I would purchase them again (but a half size larger). The quality, etc. seems fine & up to Propet standards, but they aren't worth a whole lot more than $35 even during the cold season. depending on price, above $35 they would be a 3- or 4-star item. These aren't work boots, dress boots, or ski boots. They are utilitarian, as in dog walking or to keep in the car in case you have no choice but to get out and walk.I recently purchased a pair of Propet's 6.5-XX semi-dress shoes with (hopefully) ice-defying soles and they fit perfectly with extra heavy winter socks (they were listed as "Run Large") That is why I thought I was safe buying a 7-XX. (Normally, with a combination of duck feet and an old injury I usually need a Propet-brand 6 or 6.5 4-E.)These boots.Not even close to a 7-XX these Run Small to Very Small. There will be no heavy socks — nor any socks — in them. They're fuzzy inside so that will be greatly appreciated.I am keeping them, their intended purpose is to sit at the door and wait until one of the dogs needs to go out in the middle of the night despite having several inches of fresh unblemished snow.Would someone please help out our elderly besties and invent a large breed doggy litterbox???Asking for a friend.
