These boots are just what I wanted. They're a little floppier than I anticipated in that the tongue doesn't stay as upright as the rest of the shoe, but it's not a problem for me. I wear between an 8 and an 8.5, so I got a 9 just to make sure I could wear fuzzy socks and have my leggings tucked into the boots as well and they fit perfectly. My foot doesn't slip around, but there's still room to spare. I wear them around several different college campuses at various states of icy and snowy-ness and never have a problem walking around. I definitely recommend these!
