These boots are very well made. I love, love the handles on these boots.  I love the look of these boots.  I haved used them in the rain and snow.  Having said that, there are a couple of things that I didn't like about them.  They are heavy.  Did I mention they were heavy?  I wear a size 9 1/2 shoe and ordered size 10.  They fit very well.  I would recommend these boots to any woman with strong legs.  I will keep them and use them for short distances only......  If they were lighter, I would give them five stars.
