Seems to be a good sturdy boot.  I wore them without socks and my feet hurt afterwards. I think because of the width only.  The foot lining thing is not down securely so you have to stick it back in, but this is normal for a boot I think.  As far as size I normally wear a 7.5 but because everyone was saying they run big I figured to take a chance.  The size 7 fits good.  I would say they run a little short of a half size bigger. but not in width. If I got the 8 my feet probably would not have hurt but would probably slide unless I wore a thicker sock. I would buy them again though.
