What I received was somewhat different than the photos published. The pair I received was bulky on top (Kind of like a dome). As far as fitting I think they are true to the size but the design and appearance differ. I think that sole takes away from their quality and appearance. In photo Ok. In reality No so Ok!  I found them to be to curved up from the mid foot to the front. This made them feel somewhat uncomfortable when I tried them. Otherwise, I would have kept them. In all fairness to Chippewa, I must add that this fluke with this pair was just a simple occurrence. I own other pairs of Chippewa boots (Motorcycling boots) and they are terrific. I would attempt Chippewa again despite this particular occurrence.
