"I got these boots as a christmas gift and ended up wearing them every day all winter and spring. I am normally a size 8.5 or 9 and the 8.5 fits perfect. I am 5' 9" and they hit a few inches below my knee, can be laced up tight enough to fit my 13" chicken calves, but also loosened up enough to fit my friend's wide calves when she needed to barrow them. love love love"
