I'm going to California next week with an outing to Yosemite so figured I may need some snow boots while I'm there. Didn't want some big honkin' boots that would take up too much room in my suitcase, so thought I would give these a try. These are great little boots, emphasis on little. Love that they go about 2/3 the way up my calf AND that they have a stretchy, sweater-like top to them to keep the snow out. I've worn them all day and they are very comfortable. And not big clunkers as many snow boots are. And they're cute as they can be with the flower inset on the heel. The only advice I would give would be to order a half-size up to allow you to wear some thick (and warmer) socks. I wear a 7, ordered a 7, they fit fine with "normal" socks, but might be a bit tight with thicker socks on. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Makes me want to order them in the olive color, too.
