Prior to purchasing Joan of Artic I thoroughly perused all of the reviews.  The majority indicated the boot ran large; however, a small number felt it ran true to size.  I wear size 6.5 and ordered size 6 in Hawk.

I first tried on the boots inside in the event I would need to return them.  The physical description and color was right on the mark.  However, I was surprised at how snug the boots were.  Also, I tried them on without socks.  The inside liner of the left boot was bunched up and bothered the top of my foot.  With some tugging and pulling I managed to straighten the liner and it felt much better.  After a few minutes I removed the boots.  My feet were warm and toasty.  I have not yet removed the liner.  Doing so may make a difference in size.  A few days later I wore the boots to work.  I do a good bit of walking each day and surprisingly had no difficulty considering they are new.  Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.  I can foresee myself having these for a long time.  Happy with my purchase and with Amazon's customer service.
