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.I bought these boots because I like to visit the beach in the winter and I wanted to keep my feet and legs dry. These will do the job no problem. They are definitely HEAVY duty boots (very, very heavy) so in that respect they are perfect. But they are HUGE. I usually wear a 9.5 and I think a size 8 would have suited me. Perhaps they are meant for men? But they do not say so. Also, they arrived very strangely. The box they came in was terribly oversized. Poor trees. And they didn't come in a shoe box, they were just in the box with some brown paper. For the money, SUPERB. If you are a woman, go small. My husband is going to wear them, or maybe I'll put them on over shoes...I liked them. But they didn't fit. I followed everyone's advice and got a size smaller. I usually wear a size 9 but since everyone complained about them being too big I got a 7 (it was also the only available size left when I ordered). Yeah waaaaaaay too small. I'm bummed because these looked like awesome boots.The boots came in this HUGE box.I would advice getting a size down from what you originally get because the boots are large.I usually wear a size 9 so I listened to the other reviews & ordered a size 8 which still fits me a bit large. But I decided to keep my shoes just because I like to wear thick fuzzy socks to keep my toes warm.These boots run about 4 sizes too large, they're marketed as a "Women's Rainboot" when you search Amazon but I'm fairly sure they're Men's. I am a size nine but I ordered a size seven and it was still about two sizes too large. The boots are heavy, cumbersome, and not easy to take on or off.It took three days longer than expected, meaning three days AFTER the last day of arrival given, for them to arrive as well.Save yourself the time and effort and get a different pair of boots.They have held up well so far and fit as expected. May purchase again when current pair wears out.I work in a deli and needed shoes for when I do clean up. Why not get something for the rain too. Wish they had some crazy colors.Heavy duty and slip resistant. Works great for me!! I size 7 in dress shoes 8 in athletic shoes. I ordered a 7 and they fit fine.
