"I impulsively purchased these boots WITHOUT reading the reviews, so during my wait for them to arrive to my house out of excitement i decided to read some reviews of these boots from the dsw website as well as others. I instantly became fearful that the size i ordered (which is my regular size) would be too small. When i received these boots I was pleasantly surprised that they fit perfectly, not to mention they are comfortable. I am an 81/2 and the size 39 (8-81/2) was true to size. I ordered the cream and brown, the cream is more white but that's fine with me. I have not been able to wear them in the snow yet, mostly because the snow melted away, but they are warm enough for harsh Minnesota winters."
