Although I haven't had a chance to wear them in the snow yet (thank goodness), the boots definitely are a true fit for me.  Since falling in the snow & ice (too many times) last year I decided to invest in a good pair of winter boots specifically for snowy/icy weather.  I was looking for a boot that had a substantial sole/grid that would work in the snow.  Hopefully these boots are it.  I bought my true size in the green color..The boots are a little heavy & maybe some would even say clunky looking, but they are also comfortable.
