I was looking for a stylish yet durable boots, and these more than fit the bill. They fit perfectly and look splendid. They seem fairly waterproof too as I have been wading around in snow, slush, ice, and puddles. (upstate NY weather). I ordered a size 7 1/2 to leave wiggle room for my Fuzzy Socks, and with the Fuzzy socks they fit perfectly without being too tight. They are also comfortable to stand and walk in for a while. Thses are by far the best boots I have ever owned when considering all aspect levels: Style, Durability, Comfort.
