I can tell these will be great when I get the right size...  The tipoff should be "Men's 8/Women's 9" - inside the boot it says "Men's 8-8.5/Women's 9-9.5", definitely closer to a 9.5.  I am in between an 8.5-9 in women's and with thick wool socks these are a full thumb too big. Seems like men's and women's are usually more like 2 sizes different so treat this sizing as accurate for men and off for women.

These are short boots - substantial but not even as high as a typical mid-boot - better than a clog, yet not as intense as a mid.  Sold for fishing but just a short Muck with a slightly different tread, so they look great for any mucky activity (I'll be cleaning dog kennels and working in the yard in them).  I'll replace with a size down and hope for the best.
