Magnificent boots, I bought number 42 and they are very large with a very good height of 43 cm, perfect with the thermal boot, then I bought number 40 and they are a little tight and have a height of 38 cm. Now I have bought the number 41 ii, it is ideal with a fat sock that
The ideal size and they have a height of 41 cm, perfect.
I am very pleased, happy and full of my new boots, comfortable and warm.

The rubber is pleasantly flexible and soft, so stepping does not cause friction on the footbed. The sizes of the boots are 1-1.5 sizes bigger than normal, so you should take that into account when making a purchase. Personally, I wouldn't leave too much "wool sock allowance" because otherwise the ankles have a fear factor in the forest if the boots slip, no matter how much it hurts. Nothing but boot shopping, yes, these are good for walking in the woods and in the fields

I still have the twenty-year-old black Kontio Classic rubber boots with a thermal liner. I now get the yellow rubber boots without the thermal lining. Works great on forest trips. Moisture does not get through and the stem is high enough. The size was suitable, i.e. no. 40 - my normal size is 41. The last is wide, but just right with a wool sock or a felt lining. I haven't had to use the stem tightening band yet, but it's definitely a nice feature in some circumstances. A brisk and beautiful rubber boot, I recommend it.

The first impression is excellent. I compared the new boots to the former Kontios that I bought in October 1993. I even took pictures of the new and old boots side by side. The new ones shine like a knight's armor. But I'm guessing the new ones won't last nearly 30 years, as the quality of all new stuff these days is no match for the old stuff. But the boots are comfortable on the feet and I had to give up the old ones when they got a hole on the side of the foot. In any case, thank you to Nokia that Kontioi is still available. I'm making fun of the Germans here by introducing genuine Nokians...

For years I have repeatedly thought about whether I should buy these rubber boots. It just didn't look comfortable to me and the descriptions of size and volume scared me. I have now bought the rubber boots directly in Finland at a reasonable price. Arrived quickly and the fitting as expected. With my shoe size 46, I can easily put on thick stockings + Bama boot socks - so, enough space. The winters in Finland are cold. But what made me very happy is that you can walk really well in these rubber boots. The shafts are very wide, so that there is still air in the boots. It's actually still a real rubber boot, not PVC. The workmanship is impeccable and the rubber has a beautiful, subtle sheen. That was a good buy.

Purchased Nokian boots, excellent quality as always, fairly fast shipping, perfect packaging (as well as ecological). I preferred to choose a size with an extra number because when buying on the internet the shoes are almost always smaller than they should be. In this case, on the other hand, they fit a little big on me: so I recommend ordering the exact number of your foot.

Never before have I had boots from Nokian jalkaneet Kontio Classic. In the few weeks that I have been using these boots now I can say that they are very comfortable also on long walks and when working around our farm, of course I have no idea about durability yet but so far I think they are the best boots I ever had.

A super boot, having always used Aigle I will now only buy these boots. Very good workmanship and a good shaft height. I am size 44 and bought the Nokian in 43 and 42. In 43 (shank height 44cm) I can still put on boot socks (winter) the 42 (shank height 43cm) fit with an insert for the warmer time. The calf circumference is intended for normal calves. (Circumference 42cm) The rubber is very soft and comfortable to wear. Besides, it costs half of Aigle. Delivery within a week, everything great.

The best rubber boots I know for my feet, and even domestic quality work. Heel cushioning makes it comfortable to walk even longer distances. Comfortable high stems and an invigorating color in addition to everything else good! I am eagerly looking forward to the autumn forest trips, and yes, in these cheerful reds, I dare to leave the city if the water comes buckled or is just puddles.

Fantastic wellies. Just bought my second pair after totally wearing out my first (took me 10 years...). Large in size. Very comfortable to wear, both for heavy work or just walking.

Classic old style all rounder. Incredible easy to put on ( actually, just step in ) and take off ( or rather shake off ). Shiny, supple and flexible. Therefore none of the hiking rubber boot grip around the ankle, or the fluted fit of the fashion boots. It does move about a fair bit when you walk, even at the right size - no problem walking the dog. Size seriously on the bigger size, had to exchange for one size down, even then the boots will work best with winter socks. So, order down, possibly two pairs to choose and return. Pay attention to the inner sole measurement published on the sites. Update: Used on a recent rainy, muddy 12 km hike in a hilly forest, double socks - worked surprisingly well for the all-round boot. I may want to exchange the buckle on the adjustment strap, slips sometimes - not critical.

Great Wellington Boots. They fit my large feet very comfortably:) This is the second pair I have had - the first was bought in Finland and lasted for over 2 years - with a lot of use. Would definitely recommend them - Nokian know how to make Wellies.

Great rubber boots in a bright yellow that put you in a good mood in rainy weather. Very comfortable to wear. However, the boots are very large, 1-2 sizes larger than my normal shoe size. And they are quite wide in the foot area, there is enough space for thick wool socks. I hope that the long-term quality corresponds to the first impression.

This is the third Kontio I have owned. The rubber seems thicker than the second one, which split along a seam about 15 months after I purchased it. The fit is large to allow for thick socks/felt liner so I have half a size less than my normal size so a 41 rather than a 42. My best Nokian was a pair I bought in 1971 in Rovaniemi when the Kontio model wasn't "invented". These lasted for 25 years or so, albeit with infrequent use, until I moved to the country.

40 size red purchase. Normally, 41 size is perfect, so I think it's better to reduce it by one size. Reference size: The length of the cylinder is 34.5 cm from the heel, and the outer dimensions around the mouth are 42 cm. Made of natural rubber, it is soft and comfortable to wear. The glossy feeling is calm without being too shiny like enamel. The insole can be removed. It can't be helped because it's boots, but I feel the weight, so with 4 stars. It's a rare boots that you rarely see in Japan, but I bought it after hearing its reputation for being highly functional and comfortable to wear. High quality boots that should be evaluated more.

I have to spend a lot of my life wearing wellington boots and Nokian's Kontios are by far the best I have ever owned. This is my second pair, the first having survived 4 years of heavy use. Delivery from Helsinki to the UK was very speedy. Very happy with both the product and Varuste's service, thanks.

This is the second time I have bought this brand of Wellington boot. The previous pair lasted for quite a few years and were predominately used for dog walking. They were worn frequently and over all sorts of ground. Fantastic boot, great grip and the new pair seem just as good. I've added felt linings this time and they are lovely and warm and snug, I would recommend them for winter walking. The Service from Varuste was excellent, I had the boots shipped to Britain and they arrived in good time.

Bought this boot to replace a pair of nokian boots that have been amazing. The model was said to be the boot of the Finnish Armed Forces. Much stronger, and above all a stiff sole that better supports the forearm. Kontio is thinner with a softer sole. Works for work at home and as an in-and-out boot, but not for me in the woods with a backpack and a long way to go.

The quality of the boots is exquisite. These are my third pair. First pair I got as 15 years old, second at my thirties and now I decided it was time for a new pair at 50. So happy and this time I will maintain them better. Thanks.

Nokian Kontio is probably the last real boot model. Swedish Tretorn previously had a model called Castor. It had similar sole structure and stability. But a little too low shaft. Nokian Kontio is for me the absolute best boot. The model has been used in the family since the early 60's.

Successful purchase of red Kontio Classic boots. The old ones, already decades old (from son to mother), the black ones came after hard wear and tear! The containers are sturdy, good on your feet and happy in the woods in the same berries and now when looking for the autumn mushroom harvest and safe when encountering vipers :)

In the past, I only used these in the summer almost all the time. Now there are no more pairs with a flat bottom! Put the heel of the boot on a flat surface so often the heads are up to 5 mm higher. In such shoes, the soles of the feet went sore. Many times the right half of a pair of boots is ok, but you can’t find a decent left shoe anywhere. In addition, there are often other irregularities in the soles. And the boot to see if such a negative comment is published ...
For hiking and other more mobile outdoor activities, the "traditional" base pattern of the containers is unfortunate from Nokia's base patterns, with a slightly slippery (eg wet rock) slipping mercilessly.
The only good side is the ease of cleaning, the clay does not stay on the sole of the boot
(but for others, more strongly patterned, the same is done by waving your foot for a moment in the first oncoming puddle)
These are the best boots ever! I bought a pair 13years ago, and I use them quiet often. And you can walk hours on them!
