Great boots. I'm diabetic and my feet were hurting from my old boots, which meant time for them to retire. I usually wear Kodiaks, but I wanted to try out Sorel. My first pair and they're cozy and my feet stopped hurting. Good support in my opinion. I walk to and from work and also walk alot at work... these boots ARE made for walking.Based on reviews, I sized down. I usually wear an 8.5 but I got an 8. They're a little snug, but not in a bad way. I do not have wide feet. My heel doesn't slide, feels supportive and comfy. Still about .5-1 inch of space between toe and end of shoe. If the sides widen with wear (which boots usually do) these will still fit beautifully. I think I could have been okay with an 8.5, but I can't compare.Because of the fabric part near the ankle, there is some stretch and I can get in and out of the boots without struggle.These are very well made. I had "sticker shock" at first, but these are very comfortable and I know I'll be living out of them for years. It was a good purchase. Hard to find shoes this comfortable, cute, AND well-made.I'm going to wear them a few more weeks and make sure they're the one for me, then order more colors I think....Hope that helps. Finding shoes on Amazon is a struggle but these are awesome!
