I like these boots. I will say they do run a bit small. I ordered a womens 9 (same size as other boots I have by the same brand that fit well) and they are snug. They will do fine with a lightweight sock or tights which is what they will be worn with as mostly Ill use these for commuting in wet weather but there is no chance Ill be wearing them with any warm heavy socks. Go up a size if you intend on that for sure. Probably not gonna keep you very warm withough a heavy sock in colder temps.
