I love these boots! However, I am glad I read a lot of reviews because it helped me choose the correct size.  I wear a 6.5 but ordered a 6 because a lot of folks said they run big...THIS IS TRUE.  I also read that they are difficult to put on, which is also true. It took me a while to get them on at first, but after wearing them a couple of times my feet slip right in. I put them on without socks, so I put baby power on my feet and it really helped me get them on the first few times I wore them.  They are narrow, so if you have wide feet it may be a problem at first.  I've had them for a couple of weeks and have worn them almost every day and they have never once hurt my feet or given me blisters...they are "breaking in" quite nicely. I also read that they are heavy & clunky, but I don't find them to be heavy or clunky...they just feel like boots...which will never feel like a pair of running shoes.  I highly recommend these boots and the seller I bought them from(Heart & Soul).
