I was without a car yesterday and wore my old black nubuck Nordic boots to walk about four miles in the cold and light rain. I wore wool blend socks just for an extra layer, but usually don’t. My feel stayed warm and didn’t hurt at all, and I didn’t slip once.
ReplyDeleteI can never regret buying another pair and wish I got the black leather a few weeks ago.
Do you know if you can wear the leather ones in light rain?
DeleteI don’t know specifically but they have a thick rubber sole. If you’re concerned you could always spray the leather. I’ve worn all of my Nordic boots and crepe sole boots in cold/wet weather. I haven’t sprayed mine yet but intend to get some suede spray.
DeleteAll of the good reviews of the Nordic boots and the amazing deals have given me FOMO, even though I live in a sub-tropical climate. I ordered the lightweight leather Nordic boots (BB383), thinking I could wear them as regular boots since they don’t have a sherpa lining. I received them earlier this week and they are very nice except for one thing: the box contained one size 9 boot and one size 8 boot. Since my feet are both size 9, they’ll have to go back. Now they’re sold out and I don’t know if I want them bad enough to stalk popbacks.
ReplyDeleteOh my. That’s terrible!
DeleteOh no, Jeanne, that’s so annoying! That’s an additional issue with final sale and no returns at the end of a season. You never know if you’re going to get a floor sample or a worn return, or some other nonsense.
DeleteI agree w Suz and others and if you can try again and get a popback, Nordic boots are totally worth it. I just got back from the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT, and I was stopped at least 4 times on the street and asked about my boots. I was kind of embarrassed to say they were from J Crew because I think everyone was expecting them to be from Gorsuch or some other high-end Vail boutique!
