What I like the most about these boots is the way they keep my feet warm and dry in cold temps and the snow. They are a bit on the heavy side but I expected that they would be since they are designed to keep me on my feet in less than perfect weather conditions. The toes have extra room for thicker socks, other than that I thought the 9.5 I ordered was a perfect fit. I would recommend these boots to anyone needing to protect your feet from winter weather.
