I really like these boots. They are comfortable and are as pictured. There are several reviews which note that they run big, which I find puzzling. I usually wear a size 9 in boots and anywhere from an 8 to 9 in regular shoes. In response to the reviews I ordered an 8.5. While they do fit, my big toe does touch the top of the shoe (sans socks), leading me to believe that they only run a .25 size larger. If you run between sizes (like I do) it really doesn't matter as the size difference is negligible (in my opinion).

Hope this helps.
