These are comfortable, stylish and so versatile! I normally wear an 8.5 and purchased the 9, and these fit perfectly. Wore them on an international trip everyday with miles of walking in the rain, and these held up beautifully.

When I first got them, there was a bit of a squeaking noise. I rubbed some vaseline on the laces and the squeaking went away. When I emailed Cougar about this, they said they tested it in their lab, and it was due to the laces. They shipped me a free pair of new laces all the way from Canada, even though I didn't buy the boots directly from them. Now that's customer service!

All in all, these are some of my favorite boots. Buy them - you won't be disappointed!
