Women's Soft Waterproof Wool Lining Boots
Not to be confused with "The Outlets Shop" (theoutletshop.co.uk) which is another company.
Brought a pair of boots from outletshop.co.uk, which took a little longer to arrive than expected, as,I hadn't realised they were coming direct from China, until I looked at the tracking, which didn't work, until I contacted customer service, who provided the correct tracking number. The boots are advertised as "Women's Soft Waterproof Wool Lining Boots", and I opted for wide fit, glad I did, as the boots arrived and they are what we would call normal fit, so a little tighter than I would have liked. The wool band around the top isn't as soft and fluffy as it looked when advertised, plus there is no give whatsoever on the top, so trying to wiggle your feet in is a chore on its own, no quickly popping to the shop, took a shoe horn and lots of grunting to get my feet in, which when I did definitely was the correct foot size, as I did start to doubt that. The base isn't as soft as I had expected either and after about half an hour out walking round the shop, I was glad to get home and take them off.
Upshot, if you don't want to take ages to get on, need wide fit boots and want a soft sole, do not purchase, as there would be no room to put another soft sole in. Anyone who doesn't usually buy wide fit, I would suggest you do, to allow the wiggle room to get the boots on and allow room to add a soft sole, if you want to.
I have given the company a three star, purely for the fact that the boots are well made, if not as i had expected and for me, the boots will probably not be worn again, as cannot face the fight to get them on, so rather expensive purchase for half hours wear, that took five minutes to get on 🥺
