I have been wearing cheap "fashion" boots for years and just wanted a pair that were comfortable, warm and looked good.  These boots are all of those things.  They are also wide enough for my big calves with is a huge deal for me.  I also found they ran completely true to size.
They are also a fantastic price here!  They were twice as much anywhere in Canada.
I initially ordered a 9 but after I wore them 5 times the stitching at the top of the boot began to come loose.  It was no problem to send them back and get a new pair.  In fact, I re-ordered (an 8.5 because they are so true to size) and they arrived before I sent the old pair back AND my money was back on my visa the next day.  I am very impressed with Amazon's customer service!
