I wore these boots for the first time this past Sunday - to church. They looked great and they were very comfortable AND WARM! (I wore them without socks; I have found that my shearling boots are actually warmer without socks!) If I am sitting and not moving around, my feet sometimes get cold...and if my feet are cold, I'm cold! I wanted a pair of black, warm boots to wear to church in the winter and these are perfect. I searched long and hard for a REASONABLY priced pair of boots. I was not willing to pay the prices some of those other brands charge. And I'm very glad I found these boots; they are excellent for the price. Also, I usually wear a 9-9 1/2 but the size 10 fits me perfectly...without socks. So I would say they do run a little small.
