This is my 1st time buying shoes from the internet. I saw a pair of these from a friend and really wanted a pair of boots that kept my feet warm as well as fit well. I have a wide foot, as such it was a gamble shopping for a shoe over the internet. I read the reviews and bought the 1/2 size larger (I'm a 9 1/2) and the size 10 fit just fine. Great brand paired up with amazon is nothing but win. ^_^
