I wear a Women's size 8, so I bought a size 9 and they fit Perfectly!
Lighter than your average hiking boot and Very waterproof! They look great too.
The sole has a solid internal component that is protective, and it wraps up the back of the boot all the way to the ankle, so you have this solid line of protection for your ankle.

The insole is pretty basic, but can easily be removed and replaced with your favorite kind, if you prefer.
