These are great boots! I have larger calves so I often have problems finding boots that fit well. The boots come with a zipper on the inside of the calf (which I did not realise until they arrived in the mail). This makes it easy to get in and out the boots quickly, while the laces allow you to fit the boots to your calves and ankles comfortably. The fleece in the boots looks cheap and doesn't feel soft to the touch but that doesn't matter so long as you wear socks and leggings, or pants. The boots are wonderfully warm and with a little water-proofing I'll be able to wear them in the snow! There's a membrane that prevents the zipper from touching your leg for the first few centimeters that aids in keeping water out, which helps. I bought them a half size larger than my usual, to leave a little space for roomier socks.
