I really like the way the shoes look, but they're not as comfortable as I was hoping. I do wear thicker socks with boots like this as I want my feet to be warm and snug in the winter, so I wish I had ordered a half size larger because of that. Even with thinner socks I just find my feet hurt at the end of a long day. My biggest complaint is that they're really hard to zip, regardless of socks, no socks. The zipper on the back is a pain to zip.
