I'm hoping these boots will be better the longer I wear them, but for now, they're very tight and I believe they are smaller sized than other shoes/boots. Normally I wear an 8.5 so I ordered a size 9 since they do not offer half sizes, thinking I'll need more room in case I wear thicker socks, etc. Well, when I got them, they fit my foot perfectly, so I'm glad I went up in size instead of down. These are very difficult to put on though. Now, I admit that I'm a larger girl and have a larger foot and calf but these are so tight where the seam of the foot is sewn on to the calf portion of the boot that it's very difficult to get them on (and off) my feet. I've only worn them twice so far because it's a chore to put them on. Again, I'm hoping with more use that I'll be able to stretch them somewhat and "break them in".

I recommend these boots but beware that if you have a larger foot and/or calf, these might not be the boots for you.

What I like most about these boots are the bottoms (treads). They are not the cheapy type of material that has no traction - these are very well made and you shouldn't slip in them (not like the generic Uggs versions that are out there). If you want something less expensive than Uggs, then spend a little more and buy Bearpaw.
