Admittedly, my first pair of heavy trail boots, but they are tough. High ankle and watertight; I have no fear of crossing icy streams. Very tight across the front of the foot. Definitely big in the heel, but with my narrow heels, it's a foregone conclusion that I'm going to have trouble fitting them. I wear a liner sock under a Thorlo Trekker, plus I glued a no-slip pad into the back of the boot. I tried on many different boots, and these were the coziest by far. Nice cushiony feeling. The ball-bearing eyelets are dope for really getting the laces tight. The black boots look bad-ass too if that matters to you at all.
