Boots seem well made.  Size seems to run small so suggest buying a size and width larger than you normally wear, maybe even 1 1/2 size larger.  Feels like it will take some time to break in as they are quite stiff.  Boot laces that come with boots are at least 6 inches too short;  Cannot lace all the way up with original laces.  Will leave more feedback after I wear these awhile.  Feel like they will keep feet warm in extreme cold.

Later comment.
Contacted manufacturer about the laces being too short.  They replied that they had never been informed about it and did not have any lengths of laces other than 72 inches or 108 inches and that the 108 would be too long.  (Too long would be better than too short-could always cut them off but it is really hard to stretch the short ones.)  What surprises me more is that it is very obvious that the manufacturer never tried on the boots and laced them up to test them.  Research on-line confirms that other purchasers of Chippewa 9 inch boots also commented about the laces being too short.  Does cause some concern about the quality control testing of the company's products and their willingness to listen to customer feedback.
