I love these boots. I was skeptical about buying online because they do not zip, but they are fine and they are not all that wide at the top either, which is nice. Purchase the size that you would normally purchase for shoes -- do not go up a half size -- I find that these run a little big. I wear a 6 and sometimes will take a 6 1/2. I purchased these in a 6 and they are very roomy. I highly recommend.
