Yes, buying shoes online can be a frustrating experience but I wasn't going to pay what they charge in store. These are an excellent deal, if only they fit. I read multiple reviews that said they fit true to size but were initially tight. My toes are still crammed after constant wear over a month. I can tolerate them on shopping trips and will wear them out around the yard but that's where it ends. They pinch my toes but are exceptionally cozy and warm. Minus my toes my feet would absolutely love these, they really do form to your foot. The material is very high quality. I wear a size 9 and sometimes that's too large depending on the manufacturer, especially in boots. I was disappointed because I wore them, expecting a break in period, so I cannot return. A ten on the other hand I tried on at a store for the heck of it and they were way too big. A 9.5 probably would have been perfect but alas, per usual, no half sizes online. Love the idea of the boots, my recommendation is if you are a half size, for example, 8.5 go up a half size to a 9 and you will love these boots. If you wear a regular size and go up a size, i.e.: from a 9 to a 10, they'll probably be too big. Obviously everyone has different feet but this would be my suggestion.

These are very warm, rugged, comfortable, nice-looking ugg-type shearling boots. However, they run very small in length with very little room for toes, while at the same time they are also too wide. I normally wear a women's size 11, but I purchased size 12 since so many of the reviews say to go up a size, and I'm glad I did. These 12s are still a little on the short side & crowding my toes, while simultaneously slipping/too wide in the heel. Makes me think these are assembled on a Men's last, not Women's. Also, the shaft is not sheepskin but cowhide, with an extra layer of sheepskin/fleece on the inside, which makes them stand up & look really fat. Ok if you have thinner legs like I do, I guess, but on someone who has larger calves these boots simply would not work. I'm keeping this pair because the price was great, but next time I'll get Uggs.
