Are the Lakeeffect boots fully waterproof?

Yes. The nylon upper is waterproof, so rain and slush bead off rather than soak through. Deep puddles above the shaft can still get in at the top.

Do they run true to size?

Fit is mixed. Several owners say they run small or narrow and suggest sizing up, especially if you wear thick socks.

The faux fur lining keeps feet warm for typical winter commutes and errands. In extreme cold or long outdoor stretches, pair them with wool socks.

A 1 1/2-inch heel. It is low enough for all-day walking and adds a little lift over a flat snow boot.

They handle packed snow, slush and shallow drifts. The mid-calf shaft is not a tall snow-boot height, so deep snow can come over the top.

A nylon upper with a polyurethane outsole. The sole is flexible and extra-treaded for grip.
