I have been looking all over for cute winter boots.  I actually first saw these on another website, but when they did not have my size (I need a wide width) I went searching.  Thank God for Amazon, because not only did they have the wide width, they happened to cost $50 less than the price on that other site.  Score!  I usually take between a 9 and a 9.5.  I ordered the 9.5 and while they are the teeniest bit big, I do think that the 9 would have been too small due to the boot being pretty thickly lined with fleece, besides they are for winter so I will more than likely be wearing thicker socks.  Style wise this boot is the best of both worlds.  The fact that it zips up, as well as laces means that once you set the laces, you never have to bother with them again.  You can just slip them on and off via the zipper.  Also any women who have a wide calf, these are perfect for you.  I generally need plenty of calf room and the fact that they lace up definitely helps.  These are perfect winter boots for anyone who wants to be fashionably warm.  I even showed them to my mom and she ordered a pair!
