DC : Judge

Review:
This women's boot claims to include all the cool features a boot can have combined into one, and it's true. I found them to be excessive, but if you like lots of bells and whistles, you'll like the Judge. Comfort and pressure levels are easy to control because there are so many different ways that you can manage each part of your foot encapsulation. It has an air pump system that allows you to increase or decrease the pressure around your ankle. I thought it would be easy to accidentally release air over the course of a day, but I never had that happen once. The boots also have the BOA system that makes for an incredibly fast lace (wire) up. I really like how the inner liner tightens as well.

This boot has foot-beds that you can put hot packs into to keep your feet warm. This is an idea I like a lot, but it reduces the comfort. Because of the design to incorporate that heat pack system, the foot-bed lacks cushion. Also, it is a very stiff boot and takes awhile to break in. I found that the liner does not pack out at all. The fit you buy is the size it is going to stay.

If all the bells and whistles are too high-tech, check out the DC Women's Monroe boot.
