I had been looking for a knee high boot. First went with another brand - big mistake. Fortunetly I can regift them this Christmas. I found the Clair boot, read all the reviews, felt comfortable purchasing them. I decided to go with my size, a 6, even though I read others say to get a 1/2 to whole size larger. I don't have plans to wear heavy socks. I am glad I went with my size as they are a perfect fit. I love the comfort, color, fit, and find every opportunity to wear them!
