Super cute, but they just will not fit my calves (my calves are about medium size). I can only put leggings in them and leggings are not going to cut it for the snow. If you order them they are true to size but if you want to wear wool socks I would go a half size up. I had ordered the brown with the tan fur and they are beautiful! Sadly I will be sending them back because the upper shaft is too tight, but Zappos had awesome service and I received them overnight!

This is a very comfortable and warm shoe. I wore it to a ski trip in Switzerland and we walked in the snow a lot and it kept me warm and it is very light and comfy. Like other reviews said, it feels like a sneaker. Really recommend this shoe! Very happy customer!

I love these boots! They are warm, comfy, and really awesome looking. They are also very lightweight like wearing sneakers, and are well-made. Good job, Merrell. I love your shoes!

These are adorable! the shoe part needs no breaking in. i usually order 1/2 size up for boots to accommodate the sock and that was perfect--however, the heel is very wide so a thick sock works best. only one downside--the boot calf measurement is 13 inch and my calf is 12 inches. they fit over leggings, but the elastic at the top is so tight, so if your calf is over 12 inches, I wouldn't order. I am going to go into the seam and release the elastic and then they'll be fine. for that reason only, I had to give it a 3 rating for comfort. I've gotten numerous compliments in only one day of wearing. I love these!

These boots are definitely warm. I had them delivered to work, and as I walked around the office getting opinions, my feet were heating up...definitely an outdoor cold-weather only boot. The girls in the office loved them. They are cute, and I would have given 5 stars except that, as other reviews mention, the cinched top is too tight, and I will have to cut the inner elastic...one should not have to do that at this price point. These boots will still stay -- we may be experiencing the mildest winter in 100 years in Buffalo, but the snow is coming...and when it does, it will be no match for these warm boots!
