These are supercute short boots, and unlike other shearling boots, you can actually wear the FitFlop Mukluk all day without foot pain because they have the fitflop sole.  They seem to fit close to true to size, a big difference from the non-shearling version of this boot which runs a whole size large.  I bought both an 8 and a 9 as a gift and my friend who is a true 9 said the 9 fit much better than the 8 which was tight.  You do have to wear socks with these because unlike other shearling boots, the soles of the Mukluks are not lined, which was a bit of a disappointment and lowered my review to 4 stars.  But you can't beat the fitflop technology.
