I was concerned they would be too tight at first, as I have a wide foot. Just made it in the length (I got a size 10) but after wearing a couple of times, the width seemed okay. I like that they're waterproof, and higher than my old boots because we got a fair bit of snow in Wisconsin and I didn't have to worry about snow falling into my boots. The laces are a bit of a pain, when you loosen them off to get your foot in they tend to come out of the top grommit. I ended up tying a knot at the end of each lace to stop it from happening...works about 75% of the time. As they just fit, no chance of wearing a heavier sock in them, but I only got cold feet once so I guess that's not a problem. Overall, they should last for a few years, making them worth the $120 I paid for them.
