These boots are really nice. I have tried so many boots trying to find a reasonably priced, good quality shearling boot! The problem with the majority of them is that they run a least a size too small. Most companies don't make half sizes either. This pair was the last on my list to try. I didn't really want to pay $60.00 for them because I could definitely have bought the Lamo brand for about half the price. I have a few pairs of Lamo boots but I know the Sketchers brand even better. I have many Sketchers boots, sneakers and sandals, so I just decided to go with what I know best.  I'm glad I did! For me, these boots run true to size. My normal size is 7M. No 7M was available so I went with the 7.5M since I know these style boots can run small. Without socks, the boots are a bit loose, but not noticeably so. A pair of medium weight socks will fix that. A size 7M would have been perfect. The quality of these boots is impressive. It's not faux suede. It's a supple suede because the shaft isn't stiff enough to stand on its own. It falls over if you stand the boot up. It doesn't fall down your leg though. I'm 5'3". The shaft does not go up to my knee. It hits about an inch or two below it. The opening doesn't swallow up my slim legs either. The boots look really good and they're comfortable. The sole isn't stiff and flat so you don't get that feeling of walking on cardboard. The boots aren't heavy, so you don't feel like Herman Munster! The fur inside isn't piled so thick that it makes your feet feel like they're jammed into something too small or short. The boots came packaged well although they weren't in a Sketchers shoebox. They were still in an unmarked white shoebox. They shipped a day earlier than expected (with a packing receipt). I'm glad I was able to get these boots. I think they'll need to be treated with Scotchguard. This was a good purchase and I'd order from this company again.
