I received my boots yesterday and they were exactly what I expected. I wear a size 8.5, but ordered a 9 because the 8.5 was not available. The 9 is ever-so-slightly too long, but will be easily remedied by thick socks. I have wide feet and these boots fit beautifully in the width. The color is vibrant magenta. The fur lining is soft and comfortable. I am very happy with this purchase. I hope they hold up well - time will tell.
