These boots are super cute and I love the look. The problem is the sizing. My hiking boots are Columbia so I ordered these in the same size, which is actually my regular size. These are huge. Without socks, I have about an inch left at the toe. Even with thick wool socks I have too much room and heel slippage. The upper is too stiff to lace them up tighter to see if that helps. I don't even understand how people are saying to buy a half size larger than you usually wear. The boots are going to have to go back so I can't even tell you how they wear.

Update: Bought a new pair 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear and they fit perfectly. Really comfortable and wear great. Feet stay toasty and they are tall enough to keep out an average snow. Really happy with these boots.
