I absolutely love these! Add 2” of height to my short stature! Super thick chunky sole is great for traction as well as absorption of shock. Soft faux-seude liner has not degraded at all after months of use. Are more comfortable for standing all day at my job than my Hoka’s!
Look great, fashionable with both pants or skirts.
Well-made, sturdy, thick. Unimpacted by rain or scuffs.
Love the side zipper—makes them quick & easy to put on in a hurry.
I had to write a review after coming to the page to reorder my beloved boots after 3 years of hard labor and finding some less than pleased customers.
I work 8 hour shifts, 4 days a week, on concrete in the wellness aisle of a health market. I have worn these boots for almost every shift for 3 years, as well as at amusement parks, museums and gardens. They have great support without being at all heavy. I tested several other work boots before settling on these. They amaze me. They are my choice for any long days of walking or working. I love the style as well and often get compliments and requests for where I got them.
In response to the other reviews - I did purchase inserts for my arches and I don't wear them as rain or snow boots - I am diligent about wiping them off if they get wet. (For waterproof boots I highly recommend the WVSport Snow Boots - they are amazing in rain and snow - being completely waterproof. I wear them all year. I am in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. I have had them for 5 years and they still look brand new).
I am replacing my Urban boots now as the front has just started to flake where the shoe bends at the ball of the foot and I want to invest in a full footbed insert as I have dug a groove with my toes.
Excited to get my new pair.
Nach langer Zeit in Wanderschuhen von Lowa, die im Winter kalt und nicht wasserdicht waren, freue ich mich jetzt über die robusten und mir recht wasserdicht erscheinenden Schuhe. Ich finde sie sind gut geschnitten und angenehm zu tragen.
Alles top 🌱
The shoes look nice and they have a good fit. The fabric seem to be a bit easily scuffed.
Super Optik, tolle Qualität. Sehr wertig das Ganze, mit leichtem Abzug für die Schnürbänder, die etwas ausfransen. Man muss die Schuhe natürlich ein wenig einlaufen. Davon ab rechtfertigen die Schuhe den (zugegeben hohen) Preis. Würde ich wieder bestellen, wenn ich die Wahl hätte!
I like it! It fits my body perfectly and I find it really confortable. Futhermore, like others said, it is not only warm but also stylish, which is what I needed for my city´s cold winters.
I have had these sneakers for almost a year and am very pleased with them. They were comfy from the first wear (no breaking in) and feel sturdy enough underfoot. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, a darker colour option would be great - perhaps a chocolate brown and black combo?
Four stars as these were great at first but unfortunately after a few months of normal wear (daily walks to town) the ankle support completely disintegrated, it's a shame as I really liked them and wish they'd have lasted longer! The style is smart and versatile, they go with everything.
I'm really happy with my boots. I ordered them as I couldn't find waterproof boots anywhere else that didn't have leather in them. I'm so glad I splashed out on these boots as they have been inredibly comfortable from the start and have been keeping my feet cosy and dry. I've worn the boots to the office - they look smart for office attire. And I've also worn them through parks and fields where they got pretty muddy. They were easy to clean and back to taking me to the office in the next instance. Will definitely order from Will's Vegan Store again when I next need shoes. Very impressed. Time will tell how long they last, but after a couple of months they look and feel like new despite their wet weather adventures with me.
The boots are very good quality, totally waterproof and warm but comfort and fit could be improved.
I was confused by the seemingly contradictory reviews on here, but after wearing the boots they all make sense. First the positives. The boots are very warm, and fully waterproof. They're quite elegant too so they were perfect for my London winter commute and then I could keep them on all day in the office. I have severe Raynauds and these are noticeably warmer than any other shoes yet somehow don't often feel too warm indoors.
Now for the downsides. The boots are quite long and narrow. Without half sizes available it makes it tricky to get an ideal fit. They do expand in width a bit with wear but I don't think I could've gone down another full size. They look OK but a little bigger and more masculine than I would've liked ideally.
The break in period for these was really long and uncomfortable. Particularly the right boot had a crease that painfully dug into my foot with each step. It took about 2 months of continuous wear for that to go away. Even now I probably wouldn't take them as my only boots on a trip with lots of walking. I can't really power walk in them but for day to day that's alright. I'm not sure if it was a size issue or a material issue that led to the creasing but it would be great if that could be improved.
Overall these work about 80% of what I wanted them for. Not totally sure if I would recommend them given how painful it was to break them in, but customer service really was excellent so maybe give them a go, see if it works for you.
Excellent vegan leather - true to size, easy to break in, durable even in wet weather. ALWAYS get compliments. Thank you, Will’s!
I had been searching for a vegan wool coat for ages and finally gave into buying this one. And what can I say, it's very good. I can see that not everyone will like the structure of the fabric but I for one enjoy it. The inside is smooth, there is a pocket on the inner left side for your phone or other objects.
Like many others have commented already, the coat's sizing is one size too large. I am 183cm tall and weigh 85kg and the coat fits perfectly in size S. Usually I would have taken M. I assume WVS cannot change the labeling easily since then the comments and the sizing would be out of sync, leading to a frustrating user experience. So just buy one size smaller than you usually would.
Lightweight, yet robust. More than comfy enough for my special needs feet + inlay soles. Great for snowy winters and rainy springs. I still need to test them long-term, but at the moment I would rate those as some of the best boots I ever owned.
I wear western boots regularly, and this pair is exceptionally comfortable. They fit true to size and make it easy to walk long distances without any foot pain.
The shoes are great quality, stylish, and very comfortable. I highly recommend them. Once you find your size in Will’s Vegan shoes, it seems to stay consistent across all their styles.
Am Anfang hat der eine Schuh hier und da etwas gedrückt, aber nach kurzer Zeit war das weg und ich bin absolut begeistert. Wasserdicht, bequem und auch rutschfest. Perfekt. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
I had similar boots from this brand before, which lasted me for over 6 years. The new ones are just as high in quality, would recommend to anyone who needs comfy but smart boots!
I was really excited to find a pair of waterproof vegan walking boots but i would not recomend if you are looking for good quality shoes that are made to last.
The front of the shoe came off both shoes after my first hike. They are now broken in many other places and need replacing. They’re also not very comfortable and give me blisters everytime i wear them
Hi, I'm so sorry your boots weren't good for you - we usually get great feedback on these, so I'm really disappointed to have let you down like this. The issues you've described - the front coming off after one hike and the boots breaking in multiple places - should absolutely not happen. These boots are built to be durable and long-lasting, and what you experienced suggests there was a defect with the pair you received. That's not acceptable, and I apologise. Regarding the blisters and comfort issues, these boots should be comfortable out of the box and shouldn't cause blistering. I can't say for certain without seeing them, but it's possible they may have been sizing slightly too small for you, or it could simply be that the fit wasn't quite right for your particular foot shape - everyone's feet are different, and sometimes a boot just doesn't work for a specific person even when it's technically the right size. We're here to help make this right for you. For any purchase you make with us we will always refund, replace or try to repair if you are not happy at any point. You can also message me directly at wg@wills-vegan-shoes.com or just reply to the email you received I want to sort this out for you properly, so please let me know what would work best. Will
I love these shoes. They are very stylish and versatile. I wear them all the time with different outfits. I would really love a pair in white as I use these shoes a lot for dancing.
These boots are very comfortable to walk in. The zip makes them very easy to get on and off, with the trade-off that you probably wouldn’t want to stand in deep water with them. (To be fair though I’ve never tried!) However, I have walked through lots of long wet grass, mud, and muddy puddles, and my feet have remained clean and dry.
I bought this pair to replace a pair I previously owned, which lasted 5 1/2 years of very regular use, which I think it pretty good going.
I have come back to make another post as I am so impressed with the quality. I have had my boots 3 years now and they are still holding up well after many muddy walks.I regularly do 10 mile walks and once a year do a 26 mile walk. They are the best boots for longevity that I have ever purchased. I would also like to say they were comfortable from day 1. When they finally wear out will be back for another pair.
