its actually very good - almost like costcos id say, not as generous but its not the same clientel.
Their return policy is (or at least was) legendary. See The Nordy Pod: The Truth About Nordstrom’s Legendary Tire Story.

Note that the shoes in the OP aren't real hiking boots, at least not for real hikers. But the price seems good for something that's better than dress shoes for walking on unpaved trails.
, why not. Says burnished leather uppers so if I interpret that correctly, yes its full leather boots. Since its hiking, I would also assume its gonna be waterproofing & good for winter usage.I wouldn't assume that. Note all the stitching around the soles. Unless they threads are impregnated with wax or the maker has otherwise taken steps to waterproof these boots they may be only water-resistant. Normally if a proper hiking boot is waterproof the seller will say so or designate that with something like GTX (Gore-tex's trademark for waterproofed footwear.)
BP. Is a Nordstrom private label that looks to make fast fashion. From the internet BP. "which used to make up a large portion of Nordstrom's renamed Juniors department, and now resides within the Trend and Young Adult category"

So probably some sort of leather but I wouldn't consider these hiking boots at all.
How much longer until Canada retail is 100% private labels in store and on sale while quality brands are just dropped shipped at the full manufacturers MSRP never to go on sale or be stocked in store.
Dude I'm just getting a pair cheap boots that seems decent quality. Dont get & perhaps more importantly, dont wanna know what the heck you just wrote. Seems hilarious tho
How can you tell if these boots are a good deal? There are no reviews, no brand/manufacturer history, no comparative prices or price history. Other than Nordstrom saying these are on sale we are out of luck.
Absoxxxfreakinxxxlutely I admit I'm not savvy. But Being that its all leather (says so right on the page) & being that its Nordstrom (& not Bigggdaddybois garage store plus for 36 buckaroos all in, I figured its a good deal...nay its a freakin hot deal. IMO ofcos, from a total pleb non elite pov. I get you got yours but everyone's got theirs tooedifonzo wrote: ↑ How can you tell if these boots are a good deal?

Look around at suggested and positively reviewed products on the internet. You will find that most reviews are US based. Now try to find those products in Canada, you can't for the vast majority of them and if you can you are absolutely not getting anywhere near a deal. But you can find low quality versions of goods by brands owned by Canadian retail monopolies.
This is a rapidly increasing issue that was not as bad 5 years ago.
Just compare Nordstrom.ca with .com. Big difference on brand availability.
Canadian consumers are not very savvy.
Oh yeah. I think these are a very good deal at under $50. I was just complaining about all the private label stuff I am seeing recently.scotsum wrote: ↑ Absoxxxfreakinxxxlutely I admit I'm not savvy.
