These boots definitely get the job done on those cold, winter days and nights when you have to be outside, or want to go hiking, or shovel snow. Definitely keeps snow and water out, and your feet stay dry.  Fit well and I was able to wear a second pair of socks, even though I didn't have to. I'm normally a size 7 1/2 but they did not have half sizes so I took the 8. Even without 2 pair of socks they fit well, and I have narrow feet. But if you are a size 8, they will fit you. Good arch support, too. Very comfortable. Solid winter/ cold weather boots.
