These are wonderful boots!  Lightweight, good height for snow, and attractive. I can tell they would have been very comfy had they fit.  I wear a size 8 in sandals, and a size 8.5 in athletic shoes. I need a wide toe box, and have narrow heels. I first ordered these in a size 8.5. They were too small. I liked them so much I sent them back and ordered the size 9.  I am very disappointed. The 9 was even smaller than the 8.5! So I had to return them. I really want these boots, but am not willing to try again. Perhaps Columbia has miss-marked some of these boots.
