I bought these boots to wear on a trip to Prague over the Holidays. They are super comfortable and seem to fit slightly large. The only thing I dislike about them is that they have a very large calf allowance and I've easily got 2 inches to spare. They come only to mid-calf on me and I'm 5'7". Once waterproofed they should be great for walking long distances in cold, wet weather on uneven cobblestone streets.
