I love the boots (size 9) for the soft cushy interior since each of my foot is a little different. I got them to walk the dogs in the rain and in the tall grass since I always pick up several ticks if I walk through the grass in my sneakers. I also have a winter pair of bogs that I got on sale at a size 10 and that fit perfect too since I wear thicker socks in the winter. They are comfortable to walk in for longer distances but may get a little warm in the summer due to the padding.
