kind-iguana reviews Frida Salvador winter boots, which are lightweight despite their chunky appearance, fully weatherproof, and packable. They have neutral hardware studs that work with any metal tone, run true to size, and sell out seasonally.

They run true to size (speaker wears their true size).
They are weatherproof.
Winter boots that are practical, functional, but not fugly. You know what fugly is? F and ugly combined. They're not fugly. Okay, these are amazing. These are an investment, but on cost per wear basis, they owe me nothing. They're by a brand called Frida Salvador. They are incredibly lightweight. Like, meaning you know how some it looks like it's a chunky boot, but it's not heavy on your legs. It's also good for packing because it doesn't add to your luggage. They are weatherproof. They don't have a shearling lining. But what I really like is even though they're kind of a chunky boot, they're sleek, so they look good with a wide leg. And can you also see how there's like this little stud at the top of them? The nice thing about this stud is it doesn't necessarily register as gold or silver. So you can wear it with both metals, which I know sometimes can be a sticking point for hardware that's on a shoe. These, literally, they make them season after season. They sell out, run true to size. I'm wearing my true size 7. I can put a thicker sock in it if I want. And yeah, they are one of my most worn, like day to day winter boots.
