"When I tried these on I honestly thought I had made a mistake and somehow ordered child sized shoes; very bizarre fit never before experienced with another pair of boots. My foot was the same size as the shoe portion, but I couldn't zip them up more than an inch above my ankle, and not because of a stuck zipper--it was like the rest of the boot was made for a child sized calf. I have to return them; but I like the belted-pelt aesthetic, but they definitely wouldn't be rain friendly."
