Just received these boots a few days ago. So far, I really enjoy them! I found them true to size(I am a size 9), and wearing a light pair of socks they have kept my feet plenty warm. I like how they are more fitted around the ankle so they don't slip off of your heel. The insole is supportive and comfortable. I have larger calves and these fit comfortably around them. While they are diffucult to take off and a little pricey, I feel all the positives about these boots outweight that.
