I measured my foot based on the size chart and these boots fit perfectly. I wore them for an extensive amount of time the very first day I got them and there wasn't anywhere that they rubbed or hurt my feet. It's very rare for me to not have to use Band-aids until my shoes are broken in, and thats why I spend a lot of money on my shoes. I need these for winter weather in semi-dressy to casual work environment and these will work perfectly for all, they are the first boot I've loved without a heel as well. I won't fall down in the snow and ice in these and I'll actually look great! I highly recommend them!
