I love Vasque boots! I wear a size 11 and these boots, just like other Vasque boots, fit me. The boots aren't too long, but still offer a lot of space for thicker socks. These boots are comfortable and very supportive. I need the support for my ankles. For an all leather boot, these boots feel light and I had no break in time. I wore them around the house for a couple hours and the next day, I walked 5 miles in them. I have worn them walking nearly everyday now for over a month without any issues. I live in the northern plains and the winters can be extremely cold here. These boots keep my feet nice and warm and I have had no problems with the sole slipping on ice/snow either. I have read some reviews elsewhere that thought the ankle area was stiff, but I had no problems. I do; however, like to wear heavy socks with the boots to add a little cushioning. In a way, I'm going to hate when warm weather arrives because I'll have to put these boots away until next Fall! If I could, I'd give these boots a 5+ rating!
