The fit of the boot is excellent. I have large calves for a lady so the high boots don't work for me. These are in between booties and taller cowgirl boots. I am a 6.5 in sketchers and took the same size in this boot. I have had foot surgery because my big toe cant bend and I am able to slide my foot into these boots. The foot bed is amazingly comfortable and supportive. This was the most comfortable boot I tried of all the brands.
