Chaco Womens Ramble Puff Ankle Boot

These baddies arrived yesterday! I'm getting ready to go on vacation and wanted something to slip on/off for the plane and security. I decided on this item vs a competitor for the advertised more rugged sole. Obvi I had to put them on immediately and found it a bit more tough to slip on/off than I wanted but these shoes are about to be USED this winter. I was delighted to note the interior is like a tech fleece so I know my feet will stay cozy. Once on, I noticed the support in my arch and for my heels. These are really going to be great, I already know. And yes, I did go running up and down the street to make sure I could properly run through the airport if needed. I may be neurotic but I'm prepared. I usually wear a 7.5/8 and ordered a 7.5 they fit great. I don't have room for a second pair of socks if I wanted but the fleece interior should take care of that. I'm prone to swelling and I believe these shoes have just the right amount of room to allow for that. I'm intending to follow-up post vacay to tell you how well they did. ***post vacay follow-up*** I typically wear a 7.5 and that's what I ordered. My feet did get a bit toasty in the moderate temps so gonna be great for winter for sure. I'd suggest to order half size up for easier on/off slippage bc taking the kid or myself to the bathroom on the plane, takes a bit of time to pull these back on esp after swelling. I opted for my converse on the planes back. Still a good shoe, no regrets on the purchase, just might not wear if twmps get over 65°F Read more

My original review for first pair is below. I bought a second pair just to wear indoors because of the arch/support—so much better than slippers, and comfy and warm. Previous review: This is a great walking shoe. Several reviews said to size up, so I bought a 9.5 instead of my usual 9 and it was too big. I have narrow-medium width feet, so I suspect those who needed to size up have feet that run wider. This shoe feels like a slipper but with excellent support and arch. The strap can be pulled as snug as you like, which for me means it stays firmly on my heel. These would also make a great “around the house” shoe/slipper because they keep your feet warm and provide support. The outsole is very non slippery, also. The colors are true to photo (I bought 2 different colors, the viz green that’s a dayglo yellow, and the orange, which is an orange/coral color). The opening can be a bit tight to put them on — just make sure you have they strap fully open. I highly recommend these shoes. Read more

I wanted slippers that I could wear outdoors to get the mail, watch the dog, and quick stuff - not for long time trips, etc. I also wanted support and comfort. The inside is not wooly and scratchy, so the slippers feel good on my feet. The buckle can help tighten or loosen - depending on what you need. I like the loops on the back to help pull them up around my ankle. The only reason I am not giving them five stars is because it is not cold here yet. My feet get hot right now so I have to kick them off (and then I forget where they are!) I have not worn them in cold weather. But I expect them to keep my feet toasty when it gets colder. I also do not like grey - these would be fun in more colors and patterns. Maybe I should buy a tracker so I do not have to look for them- but then I would have to find my phone :) Read more

I have worn Chaco sandals about 15 years and Chaco shoes for about 7 years. I can have nerve pain from l5-s1 issues and I have a Heglund’s deformity also. I am not messing around with shoes that are not comfortable and supportive. What they look like is secondary. When I saw these boots I was amazed at the price BUT they were Chacos and I needed some AND they are stylish. So? The first time I wore them I ended up shopping all day. They were Chacos quality, super supportive and comfortable. They fit true to size. I highly recommend them Read more

Warm and comfortable! Read more

I’m a big Chaco fan so I knew I wanted these when I saw them. I’m normally a size 7 (38 EU) for Chaco but they recommended going a 1/2 size up and I did. I’m glad I sized up because I’m pretty sure my normal size would have been too small. My heel sits in the heel cup and I can feel the arch support sitting exactly in my arches. These shoes are EXTREMELY lightweight. Without socks they feel sort of overly roomy but I got them with the idea of wearing socks. I’d compare the fit with normal socks and thicker socks to kinda how Bean boots feel with the different socks just not as stiff. Overall it’s a great shoe and my feet don’t seem to overheat in them.

I was HOPING to be able to get a shoe version of my Chaco sandals. My feet LOVE going on our long walks in my Chaco sandals, but these don't work for that. They have very good arch support, but the thickness of the rest of the bottom of the shoe is too thin. After about an hour of walking my feet started hurting. I am going to return them... Read more

This is my second pair of these shoes. I bought my first pair to use as camp booties, and they are perfect for that—comfy, sturdy, and water resistant. They are also very easy to slip on and off, and they fit true to size. All summer, I loved wearing them while I made dinner and relaxed by the camp fire. I loved my first pair so much that I bought a second pair to be my house shoes. They are perfect. They are comfortable enough to wear when I am relaxing on the couch, but I love them for doing chores, too. I only wish that I had gotten a half size bigger so that I could comfortably wear them with thick socks in the winter, but I really don’t even need to do that because they are so warm. I will buy these again and again as they wear out! Read more
