I had never tried this stille of boot, which made me worry. At first they loooked big, but once i worre them, I started getting compliments and asked where i bought them and what were they called!! But if your not sure go try them on at Nordstrom or JMR. Love them, I would do it all over again! My feet are warm, they don't get wet, they are not heavy. Yet this is all my personal Experience.
