I read several of the other reviews carefully and selected a 1/2 size up from my normal size since these run small. And because I have a somewhat wider calf and slightly wider feet (although I normally wear a medium shoe) I selected the wide.  These boots are a perfect fit. With socks and jeans, loosen up the laces a bit, unzip, step into the boot with your pants or jeans tucked, rezip, readjust laces. Voila! Want to wear them without jeans? Simply tighten the laces. Not only do the boots look terrific, they feel terrific. The arch gives great support, and the fit is so nice I've been wearing them for the past 2 hours. If you're looking for warm, comfortable, stylish boots at a reasonable price, these are for you.
