Description

Alpen Retro Winter Booties are just the fashionable footwear you need for your winter vintage outfits. These booties are based on original Montgomery Ward overshoes, also known as galoshes, but are made as regular boots. We've stayed faithful to the velveteen upper and houndstooth lining, opting to use ethically sourced sheepskin trim and leather foxing and heel. These beautiful boots are cozy and practical for winter wear, with rubber soling.

Protect your Alpens against the elements with Shoe Brush and Polishing Cloth.

absolutely stunning

I've had two opportunities to wear these gorgeous boots since I bought them recently and they pulled through every time. Even though I usually am on the broader side of shoes, I fit inside perfectly, they weren't too narrow at all. They walk wonderfully and through the comfy interior they kept my feet warm even at a church service!! The laces are also really good quality, they're the kind that don't slip but hold tight so they're not at risk of undoing themselves. Thank you so much, I'm so in love with these shoes!!!

My favorite boots!

Fantastic quality, very comfortable.
I bought the same model in cognac a few years ago and have been waiting a long time to be able to buy them in emerald green.
Have enjoyed the boots in cognac very much, used them a lot and always get appreciative comments and questions about where I bought them.
They work well in both snow and slush and provide good grip even during icy and slippery conditions.
I do hope the new ones I bought are as good as the ones I already own.
I hope they also come back in stock in red with white fur.
Fast delivery, well packed.

Warm, comfortable, functional, handsome

They’re really nice. Good thick insole to keep your feet off the cold concrete floor/sidewalk. Comfortable heel lift and sleek styling so they don’t look like bricks on your feet. I walked down the icy driveway this morning and they have an admirable amount of grip. The lacing configuration isn’t my favorite but I’ll get used to it. Some people may find the heel and insole uncomfortable—there is a bit of a ridge in the bed of the shoe that could press on the instep of some people. 9/10 would recommend.

Comfortable, Stylish

These boots are adorable and there's no trading comfort for fashion here. I typically wear a 9 or 9.5 and my feet lean towards the wider end of normal - I ordered a 9.5 in the Alpen. They are a great fit for me with opaque tights or trouser socks. I've worn them three times so far - the first for a walking holiday lights tour and the second a slow paced walking museum tour. No pinching or cramping in the toe box or balls of the feet. And each time lots of compliments on them. The one aspect I think can be improved is lengthening the laces and adding an additional crossing of laces to provide a little more ankle support.
Currently I worry about snapping the laces as I pull them to snug up the boot before tying.Other than that I love these black on black Alpen boots so much I've ordered a pair of the brown w cream faux fur Alpens to coordinate with my neutrals during the cool weather.
