Shapen Urbaneer 2.0 Water Resistant Leather & Wool Boot

I'm so happy with my Shapen Urbaneers! I wear them with Knitido Merino and Cashmere socks and they fit me perfectly! Mine are size 38. For reference, my feet are 22.8 x 8.8 cms and 22.9 x 9 cms, average volume, with bunions. I had first tried Shapen Cozy in 37, and trying them on with a sock liner they were too snug, particularly at my bunions. The Urbaneer feel higher volume than the Cozy, and since there is one less set of lace holes in the Urbaneer, they are less tight at the ball of the foot since the lacing ends a bit before the ball of the foot. That's good for people with average to wider forefeet and people with bunions, and not so good for people with narrower forefeet or very low volume feet (although they could add an insole). The lining is also a bit thicker on the Urbaneer than the Cozy. My daughter with very high volume feet couldn't get her foot comfortably into the Cozy but found the Urbaneer comfortable.

The sizing chart and fit guides were very helpful. Perfect fit. Warm! Good grip on slick surfaces. It’s more like wearing Uggs than Timberlands.

Size 41 is a perfect fit for me with winter socks. My feet are 25” long, 10” wide, and high volume. My Peerko Go in size 40 is snug with Knitido Relax merino toe socks, and cramped with Knitido cashmere/merino toe socks. The sizing for Peerko Go and Shapen Urbaneer are similar, so I sized up to 41 for a perfect fit with toe socks. My thickest wool socks without toes fit well too. The Urbaneer accommodates my high volume foot much better than the Peerko Go. I use Shapen wool inserts in my Xero Gracie rain boots, but for me, they are a poor fit in this boot. Wool inserts could fit a lower volume foot in the Urbaneer. I’ll stick with thick socks instead. For casual activities, I often leave them untied for easier off-and-on. The slip resistance is good on wet floors and icy sidewalks. Overall, these may be the best fitting boots I’ve ever worn. Many thanks to Anya for her excellent product descriptions!

I have high instep and with the laces it makes it easy to get in and tighten them
I wear 41 usually and these fit perfectly even with socks and a wool insole
I bought spray to make sure to protect them from water damage and hope the brown won’t discolor over time! Great option for wide feet and high instep, but even for those who don’t have that
Highly recommend

First, I do recommend sizing up for socks and space. The wool inside is soft and warm and they really do keep my feel dry and cozy! The width is fabulous for wide feet with bunions and the elastic makes them easy for off and on.
