Fit as expected - NB shoe sizes have always been very consistent, at least for my size (10.5 EE).  These are quite comfortable, and good-looking enough to wear with anything short of a business suit.  They are well-insulated, to the point of being uncomfortable in warm weather, so a point off for not being all-season shoes.  That said, they're probably superior in cold weather.  The sole is somewhat less 'grippy' than a Vibram sole, so traction on ice and snow is going to be less than excellent, but they should hold better on wet pavement than your average shoe or sneaker.
