These are a bit stiff. I haven't worn them for long, so I'm not sure if there is any give to them yet. I hope they break in eventually. Other than that, they're pretty comfortable, and definitely wide enough for someone who has a normal width food but wide toes. Also, I took these out in the first real snowstorm of the year and they're impenetrable. By the time I was done cleaning my driveway and car, every single part of me was soaked, even my underwear. When I took these boots off, my socks were dry. The shaft is a bit narrow though. If you're planning on wearing them with just socks, that should be fine. But if you're planing on wearing them with skinny jeans that aren't perfectly skin tight at the ankles, the shaft will probably be too tight. Other than that though, I really like these, and they look pretty awesome too.
