"These boots were exactly what I was hoping to find! I wanted a boot that would keep my feet warm during the snowy weather and have better traction than my shearling slip on boots. I was also looking for a mid/tall boot that was not bulky so they could be worn over or under jeans. And lastly and most importantly I have wide calves (15 1/2 in.). I ordered a half size larger (9 in dark grey) so I could wear with thick socks as needed. I love them they met all the requirements I was looking for. The lining goes all the way to the cushy foot bed and they have moderate traction on the soles. They fit my calves perfect with just enough stretch that I can wear both over and under my jeans without them looking chunky or bulky. The only down side I have found is that the zipper on my left foot hits directly on my ankle bone. So far no rubbing or soreness, but the feeling is a little strange. This may not be an issue for others, and is my only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. As well as, I have not worn them for more than a few hours, so not sure how I would feel at the end of an entire day. Overall they are very comfortable and I will buy again from bare traps."
"I bought these shoes big, as the blue were on sale and I couldn't pass the price. My son currently wears stride rites in a wide width, but now that his feet are getting larger I feel there are more options for shoes that have proper support such at these. One noteable difference is that these are extremely light compared to his other shoes! I love that there is an insert that comes out to size the feet and wash. Since I did buy them up a size and a half I cannot comment on length, but as far as width it seems this shoe will definately accomodate my sons wide feet."
