First, these run a teeny bit snug. .. I'm a size 9 to 9 1/2, and the 9 is snug. On the other hand, I've started liking them snug because they feel so cozy. Since the weather changed, I have been wearing these almost every day. I bought the chocolate and the black, and I alternate.

The soles are just like the other shape ups or MBTs. Supremely comfortable, excellent quality suede, and very thick fluffy lining. I own MBTs, Sketchers, and some newer off-brand shoes with these kinds of soles. I don't see much of a difference between brands that have these kinds of soles. Besides the benefit of the negative heel, though, they are also more cushioned than other flat-soled boots such as Uggs or Emu. Since they have an inch to two inch thick sole, I find these boots both more comfortable while also appreciating the extra height and insulation from the cold (and hard) ground.

The calves are nice and roomy and are easy to tuck your jeans into. I've gotten tons of compliments on these-almost daily. Great winter boots. I can't recommend them enough.

A couple of reviewers stated that the wide shafts slip down. I believe they have this problem, but I can't see how since the suede, in addition to the very fluffy lining, make the boot too stiff to just slide down. Not too stiff to be comfortable, mind you. .. just too stiff to scrunch down or get out of shape. Even when they are off my feet, the boot stays in shape. .. they aren't "scrunchable" or anything like that. I can't even imagine how this can be the case. These boots would never need a boot tree to keep them in good condition, for instance-they are just the same shape whether my foot is in them or not.

In general, these boots lived up to my expectation comfortable, good shaft height (not to high or too short) and nice wide shaft so that you can tuck in boots or jeans. However, the problem with the shaft being so wide is that it slips down in the back and scraps the back of my ankles -you know that spot! I've overcome it my wearing very thick socks which the boots have ample room for but we forewarned.

I got these after an extensive search for the perfect boots, and am basically very happy with them.

Pros:

*Fit go true-to-size...they might be a tiny bit snug but not too tight, and with the ShapeUp sole you want that.

*Calf I have VERY wide calves (they measure 17") and therefore can rarely get boots like these, but even though these aren't touted as wide calf, they fit!!!

*Warmth excellent warmth. Part of the reason I chose these was because they are fully (faux)fur lined and it definitely works well.

*Style I have the chocolate brown and they are attractive. The black color of the sole minimizes the appearance of the thick ShapeUp bottom, and they have worn well in wet and snowy weather. The ankle strap detail is just enough to be cute without being too fussy, and does actually help in that it keeps them snug around the ankle (again, something you want with these soles).

Cons:

*Soles I have ShapeUp sneakers I LOVE, and they are the ultra-thick kind (they cushion my knees and hips). These boots have the thinner, denser soles, which are meant to be worn for more extended periods of time on your feet. The theory is the deeper soles work your muscles harder so the thinner ones are better for extended wear, but I found these tended to hurt my feet more. However, I have weak arches and that was the area that hurt me the most, so it might just be my feet.

Overall I really like them and am glad I bought them. I just have to be conscientious that if I try to walk too fast in them they hurt (such as hurrying to catch the subway). I think most people looking for an attractive VERY warm boot will like them.
