I got these for my husband. He wears a size 10 and that's what we ordered. They fit him fine. They do still have enough room for really thick socks. These boots lace all the way up the front. They aren't boots you will throw on quickly to run out in the yard. You have to lace them. The bottoms have very nice tread. The bottom portion of the boot is kind of molded. It does not bend easily. It may loosen up with wear though. They are quite warm. The camo pattern is nice and not bright camo. They seem to be waterproof, at least out in the snow. I don't know that I would wear them into a body of water! But that's not what they are intended for. Nice boots.
