We found that the size runs pretty average. They are fairly narrow, so if you need a wide width, this probably isn't a boot to go with. They are warm, but I am not sure of their durability. Right away the black fluff was falling off. Even more when laced. I ordered these for my daughter who was extremely excited upon arrival. They do look very nice. Unfortunately, I knew the look of disappointment on her face when I saw her wearing them after a few minutes. On sale at $45 might be an ok price, but I would certainly NEVER pay the full price. I had her take them outdoors and while warm, they really seemed no different than most other boots that we could pick up in the same price range locally. I won't be returning them since we tried them outside, but I certainly won't be purchasing any more either. I am glad that I did not buy a pair for myself. Hopefully these will last her through this season. I will have to update on their true durability later. I hope they prove my first impressions wrong.

Update Jan 5 : There has been no further damage since the fluff fell off the first couple of days. My daughter noted that they are not very good on slippery surfaces. She has fallen twice. She says they still keep her feet warm. She is content.
