"I was looking for a brown knee high boot to wear with skirts and dresses for the winter and this is it! They were comfortable from the moment I pulled them out of the box. I barely broke them in prior to wearing them, then I wore them for about ten hours, four of those hours were standing and walking. They wore beautifully and I had no achy feet. I ordered a 7.5, which is my regular size and I wore them with regular dress socks and tights. My feet do tend to run a little wider towards the toes and a thinner ankle, and these fit great. A word of caution: I have what my bf affectionately refers to as "chicken legs" (scrawny calves) and the boots were a snug when I first put them on over my tights. They seemed to loosen up a bit, but I don't think enough to put over jeans."
