I have a pair of these boots in the blonde color from about 20 years ago - really!  I would still be wearing them but apparently my feet changed after my daughters were born so my toes have been cramped the last few years. They were comfortable from the 1st day. I noticed the toes of the newer version are ever so slightly more squared - a good thing for me. I wear a 7 in everything but ordered these a 1/2 size larger to accommodate thicker socks, if I choose to wear them. They're really wonderful boots. Granted, their only worn once a year when we go skiing but I've tromped through snow and slush & the original pair still look great - minus a little fur at the tips of the toes. I've never even brushed them but am told to let the snow/dirt dry, then brush. You won't regret these.
