I had to go up half a size in these. If your feet are narrow, your usual size may work. They feel soft and comfortable on my feet.

The fit, the size, the width, the arch support....GREAT. I ordered in October, but we have had no snow..until last night. These boots have absolutely NO grip on the bottom. They LOOK like they do, but.....not. I was sliding all over the place. Sending back. If you want style, these are great. If you don't want to slip and fall on the snow....don't get them.

I was really looking forward to these boots but ended up having to return them. ! always buy a medium width but the medium width on these was extremely narrow. I even ordered a size up but the width was very small. They were light weight and nice looking.

Disappointed in the feel/width of the boot given the cost of the boot.

Seemed to be promising but in order for them to stay snug the belt had to be pretty tight, but this leaves almost no Velcro left to attach the belt to. This is a bummer but I can’t depend on a 1/4” of Velcro to keep the boots snug for an entire season.

Great for snow tubing with the kids. Kept feet dry and warm in cold weather.

Fits well, very warm, super comfy, awesome materials. My only complaint is the Velcro is not lined up correctly. You can't really make the part around your leg any tighter. The material buckles when attempting to line up Velcro on the fabric and if you try to tighten strap, it won't Velcro at all since there is only a small strip where the strap is to fasten. The fit for your foot is nice but these are to keep out snow and that may not happen.

Ordered size 9 and fit perfectly. Love the style. My foot is normal/medium. Comfortable and warm. I am a big Merrill fan because of the quality and support in all of the footwear.

These boots have been fantastic! They fit my narrow feet nicely, the velcro strap makes it even better for a snug fit. Waterproofing makes it nice when stepping out to take out the trash and the rubber sole make them durable and feel like tennis shoes. And of course, my favorite house "slippers" during these cold winter months.

These are the best snow boots I have ever owned. They are easy on and off. They keep my feet very warm even without socks. The bottom treads are great in the snow. I love the Velcro closure. I am getting older, over 60, and it makes them the easiest to put on. Would definitely recommend these boots.

GREAT boot, really comfortable. I'm an 11W and it's true to size. Warm, easy on/off. The one thing I noticed is that it's oddly slippery on snowy wood, go figure. But otherwise great.

Great boots. Super comfy. Wore them everyday for a week long trip in the colorado rockies. Highly recommend if your going to be active in winter conditions. Worked with yak tracks and amazing not too dirty for a pair of white boots!

I had double foot surgery on my left foot in April of 2019. I have to be extremely careful when picking out shoes as my foot is still very sensitive and I've learned that if a shoes doesn't feel great immediately not to waste my time or money. I ordered these boots after returning a pair of Sorels that were too tight even after going up half a size. They are perfect! They allow room in the toe area and have excellent support. Like I imagine walking on pillows! I live in Salt Lake City so I was also looking for a boot that would keep my feet warm. These definitely do the trick! I went up from an 8 to 8.5 and could have ordered an 8. These are great with thick socks. I haven't worn them out in wet weather yet so I hope they really are waterproof. Regardless, I love the way they feel plus they're cute! Comfortable shoes don't have to be ugly.

If you are in between sizes-I would size up. I like the look of these boots and they are surprisingly light and easy to wear. Not clunky like other boots that look similar. I learned about them on a fashion blog. I'm glad I purchased them.

i was looking for the comfort of a tennis shoe and the warmth of an insulated boot. i found them with these! loving the retro puffy look and being an inch taller. the velcro strap makes for a quick on and off and is very satisfying. i also love that i don't need to wear a thick wool sock. these are probably the warmest footwear i own and i'm overall very happy with them

I love the retro look! The price was great as was customer service. Hard to find any or all of those! Height of boot good for every day may be a little low if you're out in the snow.

The boots are decent but I am not crazy about the Velcro fastener. It's difficult you get tight. I have yet to use them in high snow so keeping my fingers crossed that snow doesn't get into the boot from the sides
