I don’t think I have particularly wide feet, but these boots are tight across the white edge where the rubber meets the leather. I bought a 1/2 size larger than my size and my circulation is cut off at the top of my foot. I love them, so I am exchanging for the next size up which is actually 1 1/2 sizes larger than my shoe size. I hope it works.

These boots are AMAZING. I walk all over the place in them. Not only are they comfy, they keep my feet dry (I walk in mucky weather very often) and WARM. Actually, it’s a good thing they have that front sipper, because sometimes I have to unzip them just because my feet are SO warm! We haven’t begun the really frigid part of winter yet, so I suspect this is going to be the most valuable quality of these boots…
They’re also really cute. Something different–not your everyday rubber rain boot, or your run of the mill flat boot–NO ONE else has boots quite like these! And I really can wear them with almost anything. The front zipper is functional, not only for cooling (see above) but for fashion versatility. I often wear cute knee-socks and leave them a little unzipped so the socks show.
The only problem I had was small–they do seem to run a little large–not much–and presumably so you can wear big thick socks under them. I wear 7.5 or 8 (usually an 8 is just a little too big, or the 7.5 is a little too small, and of course different shoes vary so I always try both and choose the best fit), and I got these in an 8. I think they are a little too big, and so when I first started wearing them they rubbed on the back of my ankle (because there was some slippage–not a snug fit? I’m not sure, this may have happened if they had been smaller too, but I’ll never know) but this was easily solved with a band-aid, and then after I’ve broken them in I haven’t had any more problems.
One last word re: sizing: I have ENORMOUS calves, compared to most women, and a lot of times can’t even fit into calf-length boots. These do actually fit! Though it’s snug and I had to stretch them out a bit. Of course, I wish they were roomier but that is a function of my calves, not the boots. I imagine they will work FINE for an average size calf (though might be a little roomy if you have really, really skinny calves), and will also work if you have large-medium calves.
