Perfect for Chicago winters.  Have been wearing them every day since I received them.  Comfortable, waterproof and warm.  Great in show and ice due to traction on soles.  I loved the summ er fisherman's sandels and own 2 pairs so I thought I'd give these a try.
I have high arches and wide feet.  I ordered 9.5 but could probably have got away with a size 9.  I wanted a larger size since I wear them with thick socks and eventually will put in my own soles when the boots have been worn in.  Definitely recommend them.  They are well made and tough.
