I love these boots. I work at a ski resort as a lift attendant so I stand outside for long periods of time. These boots are so comfy and warm MOST of the time! I must admit my toes get SLIGHTLY cold if standing in single digit (Fahrenheit) temps for a while but do warm up with movement! These are soooo padded that they feel like slippers. Very comfortable to walk in. No slipping heel. Since they are so padded, it is VERY thick at the top of the boot! The laces could be a tad longer but are adequate. (I like to double knot them). They do not tighten with a single pull. The laces don't slide through grommets easily but I don't have a problem with fit. I am a woman that wears a size 11 in women's. I ordered a 10 in men's and they fit perfect with maybe an inch or less extra toe room. (I think 11 women's should be a 9.5 in men's)
