I love the quality and ease of slipping on/off these boots but I learned my lesson, as noted by other buyers, that these boots do tend to run significantly small. I normally wear 10.5 size shoes/sneakers and initially went with these in 11. They were quite tight around the toes so I reluctantly tried size 12 and they fit very well, although they look more like a big boot in that size than a well fitted version. But for what I will be using them for (slushing around in the snow and ice), a good comfortable fit is more important than a fashion statement.
