These boots really are nice but I'm not impressed with the fit. My foot goes in with difficulty over regular socks - although I have wide feet I don't usually have this much trouble getting my feet into winter boots which should generally leave room for thick socks. What's more, I even sized up! I'm normally a size 6 so these must be made for really tiny, narrow feet. I also found that for a size 6.5 the upper part of the boot seems disproportionately wide - my legs just swim in them. I'm afraid they might have to go back.
