The boots are great looking and I really like them.  I read the reviews before buying and took the advice and ordered not only a bigger size, but went with a wide width.  I am able to comfortably wear a very thick pair of wool socks in them.  I could probably wear a thinner pair of wool socks under the thick pair too -- every little layer counts in the snow.  If I had ordered my regular size, I probably would only be able to wear a thin trouser sock with them, which would have made these a fall boot only.

I sprayed them down with a silicone water repellant so that I'll be able to wear them in the snow and salt and not ruin them.  I ordered the dark brown and really like the rich dark color.  Very nice boots! I'm glad I ordered them.
