I purchased these for my husband in his usual size and he has been very happy with them so far. They are very high quality and keep his feet super dry and warm. We live in Chicago so he needed some warm boots to keep him dry in the snow. He works outside in the snow everyday and they are holding up very well. He also likes that they are lightweight. His old boots were super heavy and hard to walk longer distances in. I ordered them in his usual size 13 and they do fit him well, however, they are snug. If you were a half size, I would definetly go up a size in these or even order a size larger than normal. Otherwise, they were perfect and look great too!
