"saw this boot, and tried on (only larger foot) but passed, because they were nearly $300, and I felt too guilty. Kept thinking about them, and a few months later, found them here. I now have them in all three colors. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, and are very well made. I'm usually an 8, and I sent back the first pair for 1/2 a size smaller, so unless you live in really cold weather, and want to wear thick socks, I'd order down, perhaps."
