I love the boots but I am giving this a 4 star because of the shipping.  I was to receive the boots by the November 3 and a week later and talking to customer service at Amazon (who by the way was very helpful) I did not receive them until a week later.  I did get the 1/2 size smaller like the reviews said but since I spend a lot of time outside during the winter working I wish I had gotten my normal size because I wear thicker socks during the winter and I will not be able to do that with this pair of boots.  I love the boots and they would be great for fall and I will wear them until I have to start wearing thicker socks.
