Here the reasons that I like Ellie boots:
-Run true to size (for size 7 & thick trouser socks; I normally wear 6 1/2 shoes).
-Boots'toe boxes are roomy.

Here are reasons why I dislike the boots:
-Shaft height runs a bit short; wished they were 3/4" taller.
-Shaft circumference runs big contrary to what other reviewers had stated. I have about 3" extra for my boot.
-PVC not rubber (not environmentally friendly).

Overall, 3 1/2 stars for the boots.
