The boots are good but not great.  I did follow many of the other reviewers advice on the size.  I normally wear between and 8.5 and 9 so I got the 9.5.  It fits great at this size.  I got this boot because I needed something to keep my feet warm and dry during the rainy season in Afghanistan.  So far this is doing the job.  I only gave it 3 stars because it does not have a lot of cushion on the inside.  I walk on rocks out here and you can feel them through the boot.  I added a 2oz miracle foot cushion and it helped alot.  They are not heavy and they really do keep your feet warm.  Just make sure and get a 1/2 size bigger than you normally wear and add some sort of shoe insert to add cushion and these will be a great pair of winter boots.
