I bought these for my 85 year old Dad, thinking with the double zippers it would be easy for him to slip his foot into the boot. However, behind the two zippers is a nylon flap attached to the sides of the boot that actually makes the opening of the boot quite small. I wish it was elastic, and the opening larger. Really nice boot, but he had to fight his way into it, so we will be returning them. He normally wears a 9.5 to 10, we ordered the 43, and the foot size was perfect.Works as an EXCELLENT means of protection from slip and fall accidents on iced surfaces. Owner should carry a small tool to more easily manipulate the studs feature.I ordered this shoes for my boyfriend, he usually wear around 9 1/2 to 10 US Size. so he choose 43 EU Size, it fits perfect as expected. I ordered also sheepskin insole, and put it inside shoes together. it is very warm and helpful for walking on snowing and freezing streets. very happy to meet this item. so relieved wearing this in this winter!These are great boots. I also bought the same pair with a more flexible top, especially the piece between zippers. The flexible top was more comfortable. Size is definitely true to US sizes.Due to these boots being zipper-closed, they're a tad snug over the top of the foot but that helps hold them securely in place. Well-crafted, with a really soft lining, I really enjoy these winter boots. Would definitely buy again.I thought these boots would be more comfortable for the price. The insole has no cushion at all. So I am satisfied with this pair ,but definitely would not buy brand again. I will look for a boot that does the same as this one, but is also comfortable.My husband loves these. So comfortable and so warm. He even wears these with his dress pants and they look great. Highly recommend. Superb qualityI wear twice but on the second time the seam ripped apart and now there is two hole on each boot from where water coming inside.The grips work great and you fell safe walking on snow.I usually wear 41 European size but I ordered 42 to compensate that my feet are wider a little bitIt is men model but they are so narrowNice quality but too expensive compare to the materials qualityreally nice boots, very funtional and warm.Ordered the first pair with size 9 but had to order size 10 because the boots were narrow.GlenpersonnelleWonderful traction even without the steel grippers
