These are solid, well constructed boots. They are really versatile and can be worn for an urban hike or in more formal situations too. I usually wear and 8.5 but ordered a 9 (I have the Chelsea boots in a 9 and they are snug). I was nervous at first because my foot slid around inside of the boot but when I wear them with thick socks, they are perfect. The only complaint I have is that the top of the tongue rubs into my low shin where it hits at the top of the boot. I think this will become less of an issue as the leather softens.

I loved the smell of leather when I opened the box! The style, color and fit of my new Amalia All Weather Boots is perfect for me. I find it awesome that they are handmade in Peru and like the concept of the Nisolo Ethical Marketplace.

These boots are so comfortable and high-quality leather. Love them so far!

Love this shoe! I planned on wearing these with thicker socks, so I decided to go up a size and didn't regret it. Has a slight masculine feel, but isn't "manly". Goes with everything!

I have several shoes -ranging from boots to sandals-from Nisolo. I typically wear between an 8-8.5 normally and in the Chelsea and most Nisolo shoes I wear an 8.5. I have high arches and couldn’t get my foot into the 8.5 in the Amalia boot. I had to size up to a 9 and it was incredibly stiff. I did get a blister on one heel, but after about 3 wears, they are breaking in nicely. I’ve received several compliments on these boot already and they are keeping my feet warm and dry. Would definitely recommend, just give them some time to break in.
