BeLenka - Reviews and experiences

cute and comfy but I won't trust these on wet sidewalks. I bought them because they looked sharp and felt great straight out of the box — warm lining, not clunky, kind of a style that works for work or a quick coffee run — and the waterproof tag was a nice bonus. First rainy day I wore them I stepped onto a puddly bit of sidewalk and down I went, landed on my knee. Not fun, not graceful, and since then every damp floor makes me a bit tense. The outsole is way slicker than any other shoe I own, which is odd because you'd expect waterproof boots to at least not act like ice skates. Also, weird fit quirk: right boot fits fine, left boot pinches the toes up top — never seen that before on the same pair. I do like how they look and they are really comfortable for dry days, honestly. But if you wanted them for rainy weather, they miss the mark. Slightly annoyed but hopeful—seems like a better tread would fix most of this. Also surprised there aren't more reports; I searched and found little. Small things, but they matter.
