These came and I'm always looking for a rocker style outside winter boot. My MBT hikers are no longer made. I'll have to get one of those resoled for almost what they cost new !!! I will because they are my favorite rockers bar none. Meantime I'd love to have another more fashionable yet durable shoe for the outdoors. Bought these out of season so have to wait for experience to play out here. Tried them on and they fit well....true to my size 7 foot. I can cinch up the laces to fit my foot and legs just right and then the zippered side allows me to pull them on and off once set with ease. I just wish like a few other reviews mentioned the zipper went all the way up the side rather than ending short and this thin tiny little velcro strap takes over? Someone said it tends to gap there too. I understand how that oculd happen. I like this shoe however it's flaws in designing the itty velcro tab instead of full length zipper for two reasons...the fit is right. The adjustable leg and foot with ties is perfect for me. I suffer from edema and my calf sometimes are larger than some long legged boots are wide. And nothings more frustrating than to deal with that. (I wear compressions to keep my feet from swelling and above the compression socks my legs buldge out....over time this becomes somewhat permenant and hard to work out. Including wearing higher and higher or multiple layers of compression socks.....therefore it's hard to find boots wide enough for a narrow size 7 foot basically. These well do that for me. I'll be able to cinch the foot and tongue on the foot area nicely and then loose enough up the leg it'self and it does cover with all the tongue and sides meeting up enough to over lap where it needs to. I was worried that if my calves were too wide there would be gapping or areas the materials didn't reach around. No they fit and I'll be good to go with these. If the itty strap on the velcro breaks or fails I'll sew on another wider version when that time comes if it does. Otherwise I'm happy to have a pair of rocker style soled winter boots...tall ones too:)) Ordered chestnut and it's true to what I see on my screen. Brown would be lovely color too.
Keep your feet moving and happy:)))
