These are very comfortable with a warm slightly plush lining, like wearing slippers.  The sizing is true to size, but on the wide side.  Has lots of room for thick socks.  I have wide calves and this boot allows me to lace to the thickness of my leg.  I love the burgundy color, but they do look a bit like Santa boots. So far I have only worn them in rain and slush, and it has lived up to the Kamik reputation.
