These boots are just perfect. I never write reviews, but I do read them, so I hope someone like me will read this and take the plunge on buying these wonderful boots. I have a wide foot, and a high instep. Normal size calves. I got these in 8.5, and they truly do fit like a (comfortable) glove. I put them on right out of the box and they felt as though they'd been made for me. They're also incredibly well-made. You cannot go wrong. As expensive as they are, they are worth every penny (and goodness knows, it's only too easy to spend this much on a pair of poorly-made, ill-fitting boots). I'm even considering getting another pair in the other color, that's how good these are.

These boots are comfortable, right out of the box. I wore them twice and a button came off. I called Merrell and they sent me replacement buttons. I have had this pair of boots for a month. Every time I wear them, a button pops off. I have run out of replacement buttons (they sent me a dozen buttons). I really like them, but when I wear them, I am constantly checking to see if one of the buttons have fallen off, and, every time I wear them, one falls off. I am disappointed. I love my other Merrell shoes. These cost way too much to have to deal with the buttons constantly falling off.

These are great boots. I have worn and loved mine for three winters. They are super comfortable and relatively waterproof. However, I want to warn folks that the buttons are not secured well. Four of them have come off of mine. The leather also scuffs easily, which means you need to frequently oil them. If you are looking for no maintenance winter boots that you can wear all day every day, you might want to look at some of Merrell's other boots.

I have been looking for boots for 2 years and tried on probably 2 hundred pairs and I finally found a great pair in these Merrell's! My calves have a circumference of 13 inches and these boots are perfect with leggings and skinny jeans with just enough room to spare. I wear orthotics but don't need to with these boots because they feel like I have my orthotics in already. I have Plantar Fasciitis and chronic back pain/spine damage and these boots don't make the pain worse. They feel good on my feet. I finally went out and bought myself a pair of skinny jeans to wear with my new boots. The bonus is they're waterproof. Thank you Merrell and I love Zappos!

I'd also recommend: Dansko and Naot

I love these boots and have worn them almost every day since I got them. I have a lot of boots and these immediately became my go-to pair. They are by far the most comfortable boots that I own. They're a great height for me, not too tall, but not short (I'm 5'8"). They're a more feminine cut than my Keens or Uggs, but still look more edgy than a fashion boot. They're great with skirts or over skinny jeans. (They will fit under some of my boot cut jeans, but not all of them.) I get compliments on them all the time. I usually wear a 9.5-10 and I got the 9.5 in these. They're even a little bit roomy, but the 9's were too small. (I would be swimming in the 10's.) So they may run a little bigger than some. (I wear a 10 in my Keen boots.) The leather on the black isn't shiny, it's more of a matte finish and they look broken in right away, which I like. I did have one of the buttons on the back fall off not long after I got them but I called Merrell and they sent me some replacements ones right away for free. I would still highly recommend these boots.

I'd also recommend: uggs, keens, la canadienne

I love these boots! They are a total lifesaver - I actually bought a second pair because I literally wear them almost every single day! The first pair I bought were under a slightly different name, but looks exactly the same, so I am assuming they re-launched this style since last season when I bought my first pair. Anyways, I am a hairstylist, so I am on my feet all day, and when I wear these to work (on concrete floors, btw) I never have any foot pain at the end of the day....in fact, they are so comfy, I can go out all night long after having been on my feet all day, with no discomfort! They go perfectly with dresses, skirts, or over jeans or leggings. They felt pretty tight in the calf when I first got them, but loosened up over time. Also, they don't come all the way up to the knee, which is great for me, since I am petite. A+!
