Love these boots. They fit perfectly and the zip makes them easy on and off. I feed horses every day and other farm activities and they keep my feet warm and dry whatever the weather is outside.
My problem is a very high instep Even though I ordered a half-size larger than I normally would, I could not pull the boots on easily. I had the same problem three-four years ago with another pair of Bean boots which were a half size smaller. I did keep them cause they were very warm. Once I struggled to get them over the instep, Ireally liked them. Quality of boots is fine, but don't want to repeat the struggle of pulling them on each time.
These boots are wonderful--warm, easy on/off and keep my feet dry. I wear them with a light or mid-weight sock. I wear a 7.5 and bought the 7 and they fit just fine. I use them for everything from mucking the barn to running errands. I also have a pair of the tie boots and like them just as much. I had no breaking in period, they were comfortable from day one. I highly recommend these boots.
