I LOVE these boots. It makes me want to go out when it's snowing! I initially bought the men's boots in size 7, hoping to fit them b/c I liked the grey accent color and the black lining, but they were too big. I normally wear a women's 8, and found that the men's size was only do-able if I wore 2 pairs of socks. I would've tried them on in a store first, but most stores don't even carry a men's 7, so hats off to Backcountry for carrying all sizes. Anyways, long story short (kind of), I went down a size to a women's 7 and wear one pair of smartwool socks. My feet stay nice and toasty, and now I'm loving Minnesota weather!
