This little boot slips on and off easily and is comfortable with one pair of socks. The elastic gussets on each side of the ankle give it a snug fit. I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8. It fits pretty well ....maybe just 1/4 " too long. I wear these boots to walk my dog in the lousy Puget
Sound rain and they have very good traction so will be good in small amounts of snow and slush. I have not used them in the garden yet. I like these boots and may get a red or green pair sometime. I recommend them.
