text: I am so happy with these boots!  I bought this pair and a similar Clark's style - the Clark's are going back.  These are very comfy straight out of the box, with more cushioning than I was expecting.  I am an 8.5 - 9, and based on the reviews that these run small, I got the 9.  They are VERY roomy.  I probably could have gotten the 8.5, but I'll keep the 9 in case I ever want to wear really thick socks.<br /><br />The styling on these boots is great - I love the fabric/leather combo.  I also like that the ankle opening is more narrow, so it doesn't bulge underneath pants.  Only minor complaint is that it could do with out &#34;waterproof leather&#34; embossed on the boot itself.
