How do the Buzz Hi boots fasten?

They close with a zipper plus Velcro straps, so you step in and strap up rather than lace. That makes them faster to put on than a lace-up Dr. Martens boot.

Are they warm enough for winter?

The lining is faux fur, which adds warmth around the foot and shaft. They suit cold days but can feel warm indoors or in mild weather.

How does the Buzz Hi compare with the 1460?

The 1460 is a lace-up ankle boot with a plain leather lining. The Buzz Hi is taller, uses a zip and straps, and adds faux fur, so it is warmer and quicker to put on but bulkier and less adjustable.

What is the midfoot support bridge?

It is a stiffened section in the sole under the midfoot that gives the boot structure and support under the arch. It is a construction feature, not a removable insole.

What is the upper made of?

The upper is milled gloss leather, a soft leather with a glossy finish. It creases and scuffs like other smooth leathers, so it needs occasional care.

Do they fit true to size?

The boots are sized in US women's sizes. The faux fur lining takes up some room inside, so try your usual size first and size up if you wear thick socks.
