This is a beautiful pair of boots. Its insulated, fur lined inside for toe to calf. I have a bit of a wider calf and it fits well. It comes up a little u see the knee. It really keeps my feet warm. It fits a bit snug around the ankle area which i find supports my ankle very well. There is absolutely no cushion in the foot bed. It has a bit of heel so All weight of feet falls In The front and so with no cushion its painful to be on feet for a long time in these boots, even half hour could be too long. I actually put my own cushion in It to support the front of my feet, that helps.
