The Review
Minimalist Spring Rain Boot in Dusk – 9/10
Alice and Whittles suggests that you order a full size up. I’m a 7.5 and since they don’t carry half sizes, I decided to move forward with a size 8. When I received them, they fit exactly perfect, if I had ordered the 8.5 I think the boots would have been too loose.
I lived in these boots as much as I could for a month!
Because it doesn’t rain much in Southern California, I am limited on the amount of times I can wear rain boots. I was able to take these on a couple of rainy walks, to the snow, and on the way to yoga. I went on a couple of long walks in these boots (2+ miles) and I never felt an ounce of discomfort. Next, Josh and I decided to go up to Big Bear to see the snow and even though these boots aren’t meant for the snow, I decided to wear them up and my feet stayed dry the entire time. My feet got a little cold, but it’s understandable because rain boots are not meant to be snow boots, duh!
It was my choice to wear these boots as much as possible because I love how minimalistic and cute they are. The competitor would be the Hunter Boots, but I don’t like how bulky their ankle boots look. My Alice + Whittles boots look timeless and that’s what I’m looking for because I’m expecting these to last for years and years.
The only reason I ranked these boots a 9/10 are because they are so lightweight they form to my feet almost like a sock would, so they take a little extra effort to remove, not the best for slipping on and off quickly, but that could be because I only went up a half size instead of the full suggested size.
