I use this boot often, not because I live in a rainy area, but when I take my dog out for walks the grasses are soaking wet, or sometimes I go to the beach in the morning. The tide can sneak up on you, then Oh No, wet feet. I usually wear size 7.5 and the 8 fit perfect. So maybe it might run a bit small. I like that it is slimmer than other rubber boots I've had, so there is no sloppy fit. This color is perfect, goes with everything. I will order again if these ever wear out.
