These fit within the realm of as expected but are definitely somewhat small when you buy your true size and add in thick socks. The lesson: order at least half a size up if you want to wear warm socks with these boots.
  As far as looks and comfort, I am extremely pleased with these boots. They are lightweight while still durable. I have not had a problem with the soles splitting. I love the color and the fur accents at the top. Lacing the tops of the boots so that the cuff stays folded over is tricky, but once I tied it I could still take the boots on and off without undoing the cuffs.
  I would certainly buy these in another color.
