I bought these online through Amazon after searching every store in my area. I live in Massachusetts, but I go to NYC often and I wanted a really good walking boot, but one that had some style.  I ordered the gray and I love them.  I am an 8.5 and I ordered them in size 8.  The fit is great.  The calf is a bit on the big side, but with jeans and leggings tucked into them, they look really cute.  I have had several women and a couple of teenage girls ask me about them. The cushioning is super comfy and they do not feel too hot, even after hours of wearing them both indoors and out.  The only thing I will say is this:  I sometimes have metatarsal pain in my left foot and after walking in these for six hours, it started to act up.  The second time I wore them, I put in my orthotics, which I normally don't have to wear, and they were good for miles and miles of walking.  I've been on the go all day today and they are as comfortable as when I first slipped them on this morning.  So if you do have a problem like mine, I would highly recommend you buy good inserts.  I am going to order them in chocolate brown suede.  Between the gray and the brown, I will be all set this winter.

Okay, I am back.  I didn't end up getting the dark brown because I got a different boot in that color.  I really wanted the FitFlops in Cougar (the lighter tan) and was happy to see them here for $59, so I snapped them up.  Same great fit and comfort.  Only disappointment is that the color is darker than appears on the site, and they get a bit darker with treatment spray. I was really hoping for that lighter tan.  No big deal. Still love them, and with a New England winter coming up, I will get good use of these and the gray ones.  GREAT for tramping around campus in snow.
