We love our new shoes! I got a pair for me and one for my husband. We love the design, they feel comfortable and look durable. We've been wearing them for a month now and they slowly started to take the shape of our feet. We are vegan, so we were happy to find something like this, making us proud to wear them. We're also artists and we love the br...Read MoreRead more about We love our new shoes! I got a pair
ight colours (mine are yellow, his are pink). I would be excited to buy a version of these with a high ankle, waterproof and perhaps more insulation. Our feet get cold in low temperatures and, unfortunately water gets in through the top, where the shoelaces are. I thought these would be the shoes for a winter forest walk, but now we were discussing that we need to keep looking for a vegan, waterproof model, proper tracking boots and keep these for daily city strolls. Thanks you for looking into alternative ways of doing things and keep at it! Read LessRead less about We love our new shoes! I got a pair
Q: Hello! I’m looking for rainboots that are also warm. I understand these are definitely going to be warm - but how waterproof are they? Can they be submerged above where the laces start? I see you’ve used water resistant in another response to a question - I live in Vancouver island so winters are… very wet. Thanks!

A: Hi Tina, thanks for your question! 😊
Our Fitzsimmons boots are water resistant but are not waterproof. The upper EVA shell is great at repelling water and snow, but we would not suggest submerging the boot past the rivets/top of the EVA shell. We hope this information helps!

A: Hi there, thanks for your question! We do not use a numbering system for the Fitzsimmons style names - some past versions of this style would be Fitzsimmons Citylite and Fitzsimmons Bloom.
We are aware of some fake or fraudulent styles out there with this number system - please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service team to verify products at: customercare@nativeshoes.com.

A: Hi Ibragim, While we don't have a specific temperature rating for our Fitzsimmons, we recommend wearing them during mild fall to mild winter weather. The microfleece-lined bootie will help keep your toes warm and dry in these conditions.

Q: Hello, I have a foot size of 26 cm. I bought adidas spezial 26 cm sneakers. At first it was not comfortable, because they were tight, but after a year, it became good. I have 3 other pairs of 26.5 cm sneakers (adidas jamaica, adidas munchen, puma suede), they fit right away. What size do you recommend in this case?

A: Hello Vadym! Our Fitzsimmons shoes are designed to fit true to size. To determine the best size for you, simply measure your foot from heel to big toe while standing and then refer to our sizing chart. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend going up to the next full size for the perfect fit. You can find more information on sizing in our helpful guide here: nativeshoes.com/help/help.html#sizing-guide

Q: I'm size 36.5EU, which some should I take 4M 6W or 5W 7W? And can those shoes be used during spring/summer for mountains (23-27*C) or they will be too warm? Thanks!

A: Hi Kasia! Thanks for your question! 😄
As sizing varies from brand to brand, we recommend measuring your foot from heel to big toe while standing to help avoid confusion! We then have all of our sizes broken down by the recommended foot length in both CM and Inches on our size guide right here! nativeshoes.com/help/help.html#sizing-guide
The Fitzsimmons Citylite Bloom is designed for a variety of weather! It does have a Microfleece lining to help keep warm on colder days, and so they may be a bit warm on the hottest days depending on personal preference!
