AXEL SHEARLING-LINED LEATHER BOOT

After several years of regular wear, it was time to retire my beloved La Canadienne boots and find a replacement pair.
I took a chance and ordered the Axel boots online and am extremely happy with my purchase! I normally wear a size 6.5, and ordered a size 7 and the fit is perfect (as many have mentioned, the calves are a bit on the tighter side but that works for me).
Just like my previous pair, these are very comfortable and incredibly warm. I am out walking my dog every morning and my feet stay warm even in -30 weather (even when the rest of my body is freezing). I have even worn these without socks and my feet stayed warm!
Love these boots and will be a lifelong La Canadienne customer.

The boots are very warm and pretty. However, I found them a little heavy compare to my previous La Canadienne Winter boots.

Warm and beautiful waterproof boot. The calf is very narrow but it expands after 3-4 usages.

Untimely because in Denver we haven’t yet had enough snow & ice to comment on slipperiness nor have I yet been out in cold enough weather to comment on warmth. I will write about fit and first appearances. I am 5’1” and have athletic calves. I always have trouble with calf circumference of knee high boots. Even when measurements seem to line up and should fit; they very seldom do. I’m not sure why this is so consistent w/ knee high boots. The shaft of this boot is shorter so I gave it a go and I’m glad I did as the height is great for my shorter legs and I was able to zip but just barely. I’m hoping they stretch a bit over time and with use. Mind you; this is even without socks at all. Very snug. My calves are 13.5 inches at widest point. The fleece is not as thick as it looks in pics and the footbed is medium to wide. If you have narrow feet I wouldn’t suggest this boot. I plan on wearing without socks so I may need to add another layer of fleece lining in footbed or add an insert to take up the ample space. If these boots handle the ice well, then I will consider this a very good buy. Price is very reasonable for quality of boot.
