Very happy with these boots. Yep, they're more spendy than other brands but they're comfortable and MUCH easier to put on! I wore these all day last weekend at a festival where I was on my feet for 10 hours and didn't get sore. They run very true to size -- I wear an 8-8.5 so I ordered both the 8 & 9 in case they ran small, but I kept the 8s & ended up returning the 9 as too big. However they might be a teeny bit narrow if you have really wide feet. I do have wide feet and could feel the sides of these when I had them on, but it wasn't too tight, just felt "secure." These would be suitable for cold or warm weather: Even though they're insulated I didn't get too hot wearing them with socks on a summer day. It's surprisingly hard to find adult muckboots with handles, and there aren't words for how helpful they are. A world of difference: I'm no longer struggling for ten minutes to squeeze my feet into sticky rubber rain boots (I've tried so many brands of boot and experiments like powdering them first, with or without socks, weird little wiggle dances... it got pretty tiring). With the Bogs, it's as easy as putting on your socks. They're very well made, solid boots. The neoprene is soft and stretchy; the "Mid" height boots are perfect for people with muscular or plus-size calves. I've never found boots that weren't tight on my calf until the Bogs Mid Classics. The top of the rim doesn't touch my leg and if it did, there'd be plenty of stretch. As it is, there's room to tuck pants into the tops if it's ever necessary. You can see bits of glue between the rubber and neoprene areas but that's not a problem and is holding well; the rubber won't be peeling away anytime soon. I bought the port paisley design; the purple neoprene is very pretty but admittedly the paisley is a little "busy," though the advantage is that it hides dirt very well. My one complaint is that I wish Bogs would run a pattern more than one year at a time because I really wanted the green fern design. But all in all, I'm quite pleased with these and look forward to wearing them all year.
