I love these boots so much I bought a second pair I hike And walk every day and I never get blisters and they keep my feet warm and dry. They do run a half-size too big I usually wear 8 and half size 39 and when I got the 8 1/2 it  said 40 on the box and they were too big so I sent them back and got a size 8 which says 39 on the box. They are great in the rain in Portland Oregon
