I normally wear an 8.5, I got a 9 in these because of the reviews and Im glad I did. They are still a little snug in the toe width, so I took out the inserts and they fit perfectly now. My usual problem is too loose in the heel, but these fit well through the heel. They are more flexible that other waterproof tall boots, and I really like that. I purchased the white color and they are very cute! The fur looks and feels like rabbit fur, no fur in the foot area. All in all, a great boot, my feet are difficult to fit, they are duck shaped...lol. I have not 2orn them out in wet snow yet...
