text: I needed a new pair of boots for Ireland and these worked great! I was apprehensive buying them online, because I was nervous about the fit. I read reviews and the majority of people said that they were snug, so go a size up. DO THAT! I wear a 9 in regular shoes, so I went a 10. They fit great. The calf fit is a tad tight, so if you have larger calf muscled buy with caution.
