These boots are awesome!  The soles are much sturdier than I thought they would be.  I usually wear a 7.5 or 8.  I ordered an 8 to be on the safe side, and they fit very well.  I got these to be my gardening/chicken coop work boots.  They are very comfortable.  Another plus--The tread isn't too deep, which makes it easier to clean the dirt and whatnot off (compared to other work boots).
