This boot runs a half-size too small. I wear a 7 in women's and ordered a 6 in men's. The fit was tight so I exchanged it for a half-size bigger. Initially, they feel comfortable and have lots of padding on the ankles and legs. But the insoles are not that comfortable after a few wears. I'm already considering getting inserts. The boot color is as shown in the picture. Sometimes boots I order offline look one color then arrive two shades darker (I order boots annually--dye or blood or just wear causes me to purchase to frequently). The zipper on the boot is smooth but only time will tell on the wear and tear of the zipper. These boots are heavier than the boots I'm used to wearing. And the tread on the boots are really good. Overall, these boots will do for the year I will wear them.  6 Month Update: Already need to purchase new boots. This boot is showing wear to fast and on the toe the material is worn and showing the composite toe ( I must kick a lot of stuff and drag my toes on the concrete/floor when working). Boots have no arch support. Not a fan and already looking/searching to purchase a different brand of boot. This boot was not worth the cost and if purchased-- wait until it goes on a deep discount somewhere else.
