I lived in these for a solid couple months... sooooooo soft and comfortable!  Unfortunately my feet get kinda sweaty and it's made the wool a little icky.  I'm going to get another pair and get the protective products, which I really hope work because I looooooved wearing these.  So comfortable... can wear them in the freezing cold, no socks, and be toasty warm.  Problem is when you get inside and the heat's on... I have way above-average sweatiness, especially in my feet... so perhaps this wouldn't be as big an issue for others.  I have wide feet, size 8.5-9 depending on the shoe.  The 9's fit great, even with my wide feet.  The tie goes all the way around the rim of the shoe and can be tightened quite a bit if your feet are narrower.  The chestnut color is perhaps a bit darker than the picture, but very nice.... kinda hippy look that goes great with jeans or leggings with a dress, or whatever.  Definitely recommend!
