Sizing-
Compared to other footwear, is one size smaller than marked. I wear so bought 7 1/2. Fits snug without socks, except slips some in the heel. Tag sewn in inside of right boot stitching is irritating, since is against bare skin, as boots are too tight with socks.

Pretty in pink -
I really love the way these shoes look. I got the pink and gray. They ran a little small for me. I ordered an 8 and probably will only be able to wear them with a thin pair of socks. They are warm which is good for living in Montana. I feel they are a little stiff in the front where the boot top hits my leg. Hoping they break in a bit so I am not uncomfortable. Looking forward to seeing if they are really waterproof and how the pink will hold up in the Montana winter.

Warm and very comfortable -
Pink/Cosmos - I wore these boots to our local Santa Claus parade. My feet stayed very warm. The boots are very comfortable (and the pink is so cute!). I wouldn't say they're the most delicate boot - kind of clunky, but no where near as much as say a Sorel skidoo boot. These boots are perfect for my climate which gets down to -35C in the winter. I would highly recommend them.

Great winter boot-
I love this boot. It keeps my feet nice and warm during the winter months. However, they are not very flexible, therefore causing my heel to slide out slightly.

HAVENT TRIED THEM OUTSIDE YET -
These boots look pretty good. They feel very warm and made my feet sweat inside so I'm guessing that their uber-insultation will be much welcomed once out in the snow. I really bought these boots because of the raving reviews of other zappos customers. So we'll see come winter...I'm feeling optimistic though.

Great winter boot -
I haven't had a chance to wear them in any snow yet, but walking around the house was fabulous! The minute I put these boots on, my feet were warm. My concern with boots was whether I would be able to tuck my pants in to keep them from getting wet and/or dirty. The Greenland Zips keep your foot snug and allow space around the calf and ankle to tuck in your jeans or suit pants.
The only thing I don't like is the appearance. I hate clunky shoes, but I knew to keep my feet warm and dry in the winter, I would have to sacrifice aesthetics. All around, it's a great winter boot.

I loved these boots until today when they cracked on top. Although I have had them for 2 years I have only worn them for 2 seasons I do not feel they lasted near as long as they should have. My last pair were Columbia Pacific and they lasted for over 5 years.

I wear a size 9 but had to return it and get a 9.5. It is very warm but when my feet started sweating and the weather was cold it was like my feet were in a refrigerator. Another problem is that no matter what kind of socks I wear the shoes eat them, after walking for 20minutes my socks were under my heels. The grip is excellent though, the roads have been icy and I haven't slipped.

It's a no go. Loved the look of this boot, the durable sole, and the full waterproof status vs. weatherproof, but this boot did not work for me. The zipper made for easy entry, but when zipped I felt that it cut in at the top of the zipper. The shaft of the boot is so stiff it felt like a ski boot (others say this breaks in, but you can't test that theory). I ordered a half size up, but felt a full size would have been better as it was a snug fit with light weight socks (length and width). I also noticed the front of my foot was tight, but my heel slipped.

Ordered a size 9 (I'm a size 8.5); seems tight around one ankle. Snug around foot with med-thick socks, but still a mm or two of movement. No part of boot bends (thus you get hit in the shin if you take a long step). Fits under boot cut jeans. Starting to rub inside bone of my ankle, even after a few steps. Stubby zipper makes getting in/out difficult. Amazing tread. Fur isn't really soft/fuzzy, almost coarse, but not quite in a bad way. Will return due to ankle rubbing and stiffness.

These are so cute! I badly wanted them to be perfect, but they weren't. They were very stiff and my shins were bothered when I tried to walk normally. They just weren't practical enough considering their stiffness. I don't think they would have worked out even after being broken in. Too bad, because they are so cute!

Astronaut Boots -
The boots feel wonderful but it feels like I am walking in space. They look like astronaut's boots. The boot fits exactly to the size!!!

The boots are warm and mostly comfortable. They run a little on the small side, and have a very stiff upper portion, making them difficult to drive in.

Looks neat, kills feet!
Stiff and narrow are not what I was looking for, but got it in a cute package. While standing still, I've gotten many compliments--while walking however, I've gotten comments that I walk like a tin soldier! Maybe they'll loosen up over time, but from the reading other reviews, it doesn't seem so.

The boots were a bit snug in the toe for my liking. Considering I ordered a half size larger, they were a bit too large in the heel. Thankfully I bought 2 pairs of snowboots, so I\'ll be returning these.

These boots are definitely not waterproof. My feet were cold and wet by the time I got home. I'm so disappointed because they were so cute. I bought them in my size but they were really tight too so buy a half size bigger if you can deal with the leaky boot.

Do not order these boots! They are so stiff they cause bruising on the lower leg and bad enough that after several tries I'll throw them away!

I have a love/hate relationship with this boot: love the look, the feel the arch support, the warmth. I have foot problems and a lot of boots make my feet hurt - not these. I can wear them all day. Wonderful support.
The hate: I have two pair, one I bought last year. After 3 months the seams "cracked" a little, and they were no longer waterproof, which of course makes them not as warm. They also do not dry out as quick which makes it difficult to wear the next day. I bought another pair - 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks and again the seam separated. I will not buy them again.

Not waterproof!!!
Though these boots are adorable, one walk in a snowy field with my dog proved that they are not at all waterproof! I didn't notice it until I took them off, changed my socks, and put them back on to go out again. My new socks were soppy and cold within minutes. I don't know if I got a bum pair since no one else is complaining, but luckily Zappos is great about returns! Also, seems in the boots rubbed up against my calf, chafing it through thin socks.
