Cute shoes! But they run a bit small so order 1/2 size larger than your normal size. These shoes do show the creases of your toes even with normal size toes. My daughter loved them very much but did not want 'toe cleavage' showing. We replaced them with a 1/2 size larger to see if this problem would go away, but even though the shoes fit better, her toe creases still showed. Be careful if you are concerned about this, if not, they are great looking shoes.

These were not even close to wide enough for my calves (17 1/2"). I love the style and hoped that they would be big enough to tuck jeans into, but I could hardly get them on over my bare leg. If you have large calves and are looking for a rain boot, try the Tretorn Skerry - although they hit mid-calf, they fit my calves well and have room left over for jeans.

Good shoe - I just ordered these and was looking for a nice "dress boot" to wear with my slacks. The boot is very nice - a nice leather and comfortable. They seem a tad large - and I am a consistent size usually. Not large enough to go down a size - just a bit "too roomy". The soles are nice - and don't slip. I think I am going to like them.

Stix is sticky - I've had them for a few weeks now, the Vibram rubber is very sticky. I have no problem smearing or gripping bad little footholds. The heel fits me very well. Not too difficult to get on considering it's a slip-on. Toe box is somewhat wide, similar to La Sportivas I've tried. Very aggressive and pretty light.
