Let me say at the start: I'm returning these boots. I have normal sized legs (I'm 5'10" and weigh in the normal range for that height) (in my view) and they're not tight, but I would never be able to fit my pants into the boots--which rather defeats the purpose. Also, the liners inside are a little raggedy and slide around. These boots fit very true to size--like dress shoes, so not much room for socks. I guess I'm just on a mission to find good rain boots. They are very cute, though.
