These boots are very comfortable & warm.  The suede is super soft but has body to it so they stay up pretty well. They come up just over the knee by an inch or 2. For reference I am 57 tall. I would say they fit true to size. I wear a 7.5 in Frye boots & the 7.5 fits fine in these. They run slender in legs though so if you have very muscular legs they may not fit. They are super comfortable right out of the box.
