I got these boots in brown and love the way they look. They are warm (like my old Sorels)and waterproof, but not all that comfortable for distance walking. I usually wear 7.5 or 8 M even though the front part of my feet is a bit wide. These boots have no arch support and rub the front part of my foot on the inside, partially because they are pretty stiff (more like plastic than soft leather). It's tolerable for running errands, but not for a long walk of the dog.
