Based on the reviews, I ordered half a size up. That was a mistake. I have to exchange them for my usual size. These are not narrow boots and they are not small. They are also not tight in the calf. I can put these boots on without unzipping them and can slide my entire hand in the side of the boot. Most people could easily wear these over jeans or sweats. I’m 5’6” and 133 lbs and I had ample room. These boots are comfortable, practical, and warm and they’re a classic kind of snow boot. I’m looking forward to getting them a half size smaller!

I absolutely love these boots! Comfortable, warm, durable. I wear them to the barn for everyday chores, use them for riding, and rinse off and wear them for running errands etc. Absolutely perfect for my lifestyle! Love the fit and feel! Highly recommend!

I ordered a half size up because previous reviews said they run a bit small and they fit perfectly! I won't be able to wear thick socks with them, but regular, warmer weight socks will be fine. I am also really happy with the color because the leather is darker and matches the canvas color as more of a chocolate brown than the dark tan color in the picture. They are also much cuter in person and are very high quality. These are now my new favorite boots!

I have a taller pair of Merrel's I've worn for years and wanted to buy a newer pair for the next winter season so, truthfully, they've been tried on but not actually worn yet. The previous pair has zippers on the top of the boot starting just above the toes. This pair, the Haven Tall Buckles, have zippers on the zippers which I much preferred. When I first tried them on however it was extremely snug and challenging to get my foot past the ankle section of the boot. I'm not concerned though, once on they felt great and I think with a little wear they will loosen up. Just a caution to those with wider feet and ankles.

Love these. Ordered 2 pair and they fit perfect, are comfortable and warm. I would buy them all over again.

I had foot surgery six months ago and have been searching for a pair of boots for the winter that are both comfortable and stylish and these boots are exactly what I was looking for! They are so comfortable with a roomy toe box and the lining feels very good too. The bonus is that they look elegant too. I can wear them with jeans, dress pants, or a skirt. The overall design is classic and they feel very sturdy and well-made. I hope to wear them for many years to come.

The absolute only problem I have with these is that I have a high arch that needs a bit more support for long days on my feet. If I didn't have that problem, these would be perfect.

I live in Chicago, walk a lot in winters, and spend a tremendous amount of time in ice rinks as a hockey mom. These boots hit the mark for me... super comfortable footbed with a decently wide toebox. And I have had good traction on snow and ice. Even though the sole is thicker, I have found it to be fairly flexible when I walk. Very happy with this purchase and hope to enjoy these for several years!

These boots were my new favorites from the moment I put them on! They needed no breaking in and were extremely comfortable and warm! I want the tobacco colored ones now too!

I’m normally a 7.5 but ordered a half size up after reading the reviews. I’m happy about the size because there is not a lot of insulation. I’m adding thick/warm socks and they fit great. Love the style. Cute, casual work snow boot

These boots aren’t as nice as the previous model that I purchased a year or two ago. While there is some insulation, it isn’t that great. I have to wear them with thick wool socks. They do keep my feet dry in wet snow and they are comfortable. Easy to put on and take off.

Very comfortable and waterproof. Seems to run a little small though the ankle, and can't wear with thick socks. Fits true to size once completely on. Flexible when wearing, not stiff. Would recommend.

I agree with many of the other reviews; it is hard to get the boot on over my ankle but once on, they fit fine. They are also slick on ice; I think more so than other boots I have owned due to the horizontal grips. However they look great and I have received many compliments.

No need to wear thick socks inside. Very well insulated for the cold winter. Can't wait to walk in the snow.

These boots are SO cute! I feel like they're the perfect blend of a high quality winter boot that can also be worn into work with a nice outfit. Unfortunately, my foot was a bit too tall/thick across the bridge of the foot so these felt tight across the top of my foot. I tried sizing up, but then the shoe was too long and I felt like tripping, but still it was right across the top of my foot. This is a problem I've had before with other brands of boots too, so I think it's about my anatomy more than these boots.

I have been looking at these boots for a while and am very happy I finally purchased them. They did not disappoint. They are so comfortable. I thought I would have to break them in but they break in immediately. Very warm also!! I do want the shorter pair now as they are so warm and cozy

Merrell usually does great with their comfort and this boot is no exception!
By no means is this boot made to be an everyday boot by construction. Most casual boots aren't constructed to last forever and that's okay. I can see the rind/rubber sole connecting to the leather separating slightly where the foot flex's on the boot. No problem with me because they're still water proof.
When I first got them the volume of the boot seemed low because I have a high Instep but they're leather in that area so they've stretched slightly and they fit just fine. I have to say that Merrell does great with keeping their styles cute and up to date. Great job

I was looking for a slightly taller winter boot. These are nice looking and comfortable, but not insulated enough for me.

I have two of the previous styles of this shoe for almost a decade and absolutely LOVE them and still wear them. These however, while same size, were too big and the my gawd the calf area was HUGE! I'm an athlete with abundant calf muscles but who the heck has calves this big?
I sadly had to return them.

It's a beautiful boot but seems to be made for very thick calves. With leggings, it looked as if I stuck my foot in a bucket or two.

These would have been great - with a wider calf or better elastic at top - the boot was exactly what I was looking for - casual and waterproof and understated - and I have somewhat wide feet but the footbed was good and not too tight around toes - just not wide enough at the top 1/2" to make them comfortable.

These boots are great quality (as always with Merrell). However, the color (which is the main reason I bought them) is much darker, with very little contrast between the browns. Basically looks like a dark brown boot. Disappointing because the boot pictured is so pretty.

Beautiful boots and super cool materials and design. Tried wearing them a few times now (one away from home for an entire day) and my feet literally feel like they're dying thanks to the strap/band sewn on the top of your foot/ankle. Hoping they break in but having no luck so far. The length and width was great just this darn strap is incredibly uncomfortable.

I often wear an 8, but because of two recent Merrell purchases, I ordered a 7.5. I would have just exchanged them for a larger size, but I offered them to a family member with a smaller foot (she is a 7 or 7.5), and she too, felt it was too snug around the ankle. Something inside the front part of the ankle also was uncomfortable for her smaller foot, so I was hesitant to even stick with this style. I wanted them to fit because I truly liked the material and look of the boot. They seemed to be a nice new addition. I may try the new Mid Lace boot instead...
