Walk, Hike, Stroll and More in these Empire Hi Women’s Boots from Lugz
We all know kids grow through their shoes and clothes quickly and my daughter is no exception when it comes to her shoes! I swear sometimes her feet grow quicker than the rest of her. She’s constantly going through shoes and now that she can fit into mine she’s sometimes borrowing my boots and shoes. So I figured it was time for her to get her a good pair of boots for the fall and winter but most importantly it had to be comfortable. 
My daughter was thrilled when she realized a while ago that she could wear the women’s sizes for shoes and boots from Lugz as she loves their boots. This time around she needed a casual pair of shoes which we’ll share those ones soon. She also wanted a good pair of boots that she could wear with almost anything and still go walking on the trails and the wet, slippery sidewalks that we get with all the rain here on the west coast. That’s where the Lugz women’s boots Empire Hi WVT come in. 
As you can see on the tread above where it even says it’s slip-resistant these boots are a great addition to my daughter’s boot arsenal. On top of a great tread, they also have Lugz’ Flexastride Memory Foam Insole. Pair that with their EVA Cushion, Anti-Fatigue Midsole and she has some great shock absorption for these Lugz women’s boots no matter what walking or hiking activity she’s doing.
You can style Empire Hi WVT with anything you wear – from jeans and leggings to shorts and dresses. Amazingly comfortable, rubber slip resistant sole to keep you safe, and it has it’s own jewelry – Lugz classic hardware logo and eyelets. Rock this boot your way! They’ve got double the laces so her feet are secure no matter how rigorous the walking activity.
OTHER FEATURES:
- Rubber Outsole
- Breathable Lining
- Padded Collar and Tongue
- Textile/Velvet Upper
My daughter has now gone for a short hike in our forest with our dog, worn them to the mall and walked outside in the rain in these fabulous Lugz Women’s Boots and they have held up well each time. Her feet stay warm and dry and for her the most important part is that they’re comfortable. The boots come in three colors, my daughter is wearing the Dark Charcoal Dove ones although they have a brownish tinge in these photos due to the lighting at the time of day we took the photos. These boots make for a great gift any time of the year so it’s no wonder they made it onto our Holiday Gift Guide!
Make sure to stop by the Lugz site to find out more about these boots and their other shoes HERE.

These boots are so cute and would be great when my hubby and I go on hikes
Cynthia Brooks says
I like these empire boots. And I love the anti fatigue mid sole that so many other shoes are missing for hiking. Oh and I love the color that your daughter got too. It totally is fun when our kids get fitting into the adult sizes. My youngest is in 4th grade my middle daughter in 6th and my oldest in 11th and I know all their women’s sizes by heart. 7 and a half, 9 and a half, and 10/11 womens.
Joy Venters says
In the review it mentions they are non-slip and this is a plus – especially for us seniors who have to be more careful about falls. It also says that it is breathable which I really like because I have had other boots that by the time I take them off my feet are hot and sweaty.
Kathryn Finn says
I live in Colorado, so I too need a really good boot for winter and especially for walking my dog, as my area gets snow and can get quite icy. The traction and the heel look really great on these, as flat shoes or boots can really hurt my arches.
