These are super comfortable boots. I saw them first inside a Gap store on a mannequin and asked for details. I first got them for Christmas as a gift but had to return them for a different size. Next size was still to big, and had to return them once again. I ended up getting them 1.5 sizes smaller than what I normally wear. I plan to spray them w/ scotchguard for extra weather protection. The ankles feel a little uncomfortable but I think it's because they are new and not fully broken in yet. I also noticed that they don't grip well on wet surfaces, but that might be because they are brand new.
