I've been looking for a winter boot that was tall, not bulky, I could wear for hours outside while working with my horse, not break the bank and I could still use them out and about. After reading reviews (especially a few inparticular saying they are more a yard work boot) and the product description, I decided to give these boots a try.I normally wear a size 8 1/2W, but I went for a 9W in these, or at least I thought I did. When I got these, I was able to get them on but my toes were squished together and they did not feel like a wide width at all. So I am sending them back.The boots do look nice but there is very little insulation in the foot part. These boots are not something to use outside for hours or in deeper snow, going for a walk on cleaned paths sure.
