I was very impressed with the quality of this boot. I live in Indiana, where winter temperatures often drop below zero, so I appreciated the fact that this boot offered insulation. In addition to being very practical for cold and snowy weather, the boot is also quite fashionable. I wish it came in half sizes, but I found it to be fairly true-to-size. If you plan to wear heavy socks with the boot, you probably will want to size up.
