I read reviews before ordering and ordered one size down. They still fit roomy, so if you have narrow feet you may want to order 2 sizes down - I have wide feet. I like the extra space because I was able to use a thick insole and still fit them. These are not snow boots, so no lining but in New York, we get giant puddles after it snows and I need these to keep my feet and ankles dry. Very easy to put on and take off. The calf area is wide - I have muscular calves and can tuck jeans into these easily. I was expecting them to be heavier based on reviews, but they are not as heavy as some of the glossy rain boots I've had - that have all torn very easily after a few wears. These look like they will last much longer. They actually look good on - a bonus, since I was not expecting them to be this cute. The bottom is great - I can walk on icy sidewalks without slipping - strong tread. Great price too. Arrived on time.
