These do run a little small, which is PERFECT for us "half sizers" I have always loved the Classic High Bogs, but the fit wasn't perfect. I wear a solid 8.5 in every brand. The Classics in an 8 are too small, so I have always bought a 9 which were always quite roomy. The 9 in these is totally perfect on my 8.5 foot, I am thrilled!! If you are a whole size you may want to size up in this style since it does run a little small. If you are a half size, these are perfect for you!! Just order the next whole size up ;-)
