I was looking to get some new boots for an area that may get wet/cold in the winter, but not necessarily snow a great deal (if at all).  I'm a half size and usually like to get boots in the next full size up to leave room for socks (or when whole sizes are all that's available).  These definitely had the space (and maybe a little more extra than usual), but with the laces I can cinch them on and they stay on my feet just fine.  Appear to be good construction -- rubberized bottom half of boot should wear much better than an all-fabric upper, which my last boots were.  Warm and fuzzy insides will definitely keep my feet toasty.
