I bought these in the store so I knew that they ran big. I bought a whole size down. They are so comfortable I have been wearing them in the house all day. I am curious to see how they will color over the months and if the moisture has an effect on the color. But for now, I rate it as excellent.
While I liked the boots I received in dark brown, they were way too big. I am usually a 9, so I ordered that size since the instructions say that 1/2 sizes should size up. Well, they are way too big--by at least 1". The lining was soft, but feels a little synthetic. Otherwise, a good warm boot, but I have to return due to size.
