I like the boots. They are wider than I expected, and I have a wide foot. I always wear the EE in running shoes. I am usually a 11 and I bought 12's to allow for thick socks and I do kind of swim in them. It seems like an 11 would have been just fine.I mostly bought them to keep by the back door to slip into when I take my 11 month old German Shepard puppy out to play - which is ALL the time and in any weather! They serve that purpose just fine - keeping my feet nice and warm and dry. For $60, they are a slam dunk.
