LOVE these boots-I normally wear a size 10 boot, bought these in an 11, and my toe is just at the end of the shoe-would have liked to see them just a couple of centimeters longer.  I don't think they're short enough to rub a great deal from what I can tell, will see in a couple of months when winter comes.  For the price, these seem to be high quality. So far, I'm very pleased.
