I love these boots! I get so many compliments when I wear them. They kept my feet warm and dry during the winter and provide a cheerful pop of color on those dreary days! If you wear them when it's warmer out, I suggest wearing socks. A pair of thin wool socks like Darn Tough Vermont socks are great. They regulate the temperature of my feet and I no longer feel too overheated and sweaty while wearing them.Two downsides: the price and the fit. If you can get them on sale--awesome! But, they're definitely an investment piece of clothing. As for the size, they feel a bit big, but I think an 8 would've been too small. They don't slide off my feet or feel uncomfortable, though. Overall, a great product that I would definitely get again.
