This is my 5th pair of BearPaw boots and I am very satisfied with the style, color and fit. The purple is a deep rich purple which is hard to find. They look better than pictured. I normally wear size 7 1/2, so I got these in size 8. They fit snug, but will stretch out to be perfect. They are completely fur-lined, warm and very comfortable. Being 12 inches high, they won't accomodate if you have large calves. Nice boots, at a great price.
