K is right in saying that it's the dead air space between your foot and your boot which insulates you from the cold. The warmest pair of leather ski gloves I ever owned were a soft leather with floppy, loose fingers and only a very light insulation layer. Those gloves kept my fingers toasty even when the temperature dipped to -4F/-20C unlike a more expensive glove with a thicker layer of insulation, but a closer fit, which I had bought previously in a desperate attempt to keep my hands warm while skiing. It was all that dead air space in those floppy fingers that made such a huge difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134869 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 04:53:03 +0000 Suz 1134869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look super fun!

I wasn't aware of the concept of extra space to help with insulating. My husband gave them a thumbs up without hesitation. (Though I don't typically ask for his opinions because noticing what I wear just isn't part of his DNA) I wore them around the house today and they are quite comfortable, plenty of room for my feet to spread out. </p> <p>K., my thumb *is* on top of my toe, so the end of my toe is at the side of my thumb closest to the end of the boot.</p> <p>I'm still not sure at this point, but I do already have an outfit I'd like to create with them - my cream Gap chunky sweater and cream BR jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134412 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:15:28 +0000 Gigi 1134412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look big, but not TOO big. If you don't get boots that are a little big looking, chances are there's not enough insulation and cushioning to keep your foot warm and comfy. And I think that getting a pair in red adds a stylistic element. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134383 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:55:49 +0000 Emily 1134383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great - I love the red!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134367 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:46:06 +0000 JAileen 1134367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, since I wear a ten, I don't think they look big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134357 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:40:18 +0000 Thistle 1134357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red!&nbsp; A little clunk is totally okay in snow boots, especially if they have the room for extra thick socks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134355 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:37:41 +0000 Liz A. 1134355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Greyscale.&nbsp; No one would ever say the LOOK too big.&nbsp; I think this is a case of know thyself.&nbsp; I personally am extremely picky about shoe fit, and these would not make the cut.&nbsp; I just know I wouldn't wear them.&nbsp; What about you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134337 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:25:31 +0000 Angie 1134337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun.

I bought them that way to wear extra socks. (I bought them 20 years ago when I lived in New England. Out here they would be absurdly warm.) I do feel a bit clompy in them but unless you're tripping over your feet a lot, I think it's fine.</p> <p>(By the way, since shoe size and height aren't perfectly correlated, there's really very little chance that a shoe two&nbsp;sizes bigger than your usual will <i>look</i> weird to anyone but yourself! Our eyes are accustomed to&nbsp;seeing a wide range of combinations on others, and only one on ourselves.) </p> <p>ETA: I love that you call them clodhoppers. That's the word I grew up with for work boots, but it had slipped my mind and it's great to be reminded.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134299 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:51:56 +0000 Inge 1134299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't look big to me, Pil, just very fun.

Period. 1134281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they are cute! They are no more clunky than this type of shoe generally is. &nbsp;They typically are sized larger than their insole so that you have dead air separating you and contact with the outer boot. &nbsp;I'm pretty sure that that's part of how they improve their insulating effect. &nbsp;With that said--that does seem to be an awful lot of space from your toe to the end if the bottom of your thumb is hitting the end of your toe. &nbsp;If your thumb is on top of your toe, with the top edge of it (the edge closest to the toe of the boot) marking the end of your toe, then I think you are good to go. &nbsp;FWIW, I see the clunkiness of this as part of the style. They aren't intended to be polished boots, so the larger, more outdoorsy gear fit is a-okay to my eye!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-clodhopper-snow-boots#post-1134258 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:05:33 +0000 carambola 1134258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and don't think they look too big at all.&nbsp;They look cozy and cheerful with the pop of&nbsp;red.

I love them in the red.

I'm kicking myself for not buying a pair of red Sorels at Rack a while back so I've been on the hunt for a similar pair. These Kamiks came yesterday from Sierra Trading Post and ended up costing only about $40 including shipping. Some reviews said to size up and they weren't available in my usual 8, so these are a 9. They're comfortable, and between adding an insole and snug lacing they don't slip around on my foot but there is plenty of room yet for thick socks. I'm not trying to make any best dressed lists with these boots, but do they LOOK too big? Like they would keep me from tipping over in a wind gust?</p> <p>Picture 1 shows where the end of my big toe is - at the side of my thumb closest to the toe of the boot.</p> <p>Picture 2 is just for comparison of clunkiness with my current old short snow boots.</p> <p>Thoughts? Thanks a bunch! </p>
