I bought these boots in black, I actually like the dull finish-gives them a &#34;serious&#34; look.  They are simple, &#34;Hunter&#34; looking boots, not quite as tall, and without the &#34;Hunter&#34; label plastered across the front-which, to me, is a good thing.  I usually wear a size 8, some times 7.5, my foot is a little wide at the toes, and high at the instep.  The instep is where the trouble came in, I had to struggle a bit to get the boot on.  I had ordered a size 9, and it fit (with room for a thick sock) once I got it on.  I know myself, if I have to fight at all to get them on, I won't wear them as readily.  Looked some more, almost considering Hunters, but found Moneysworth & Best Wellies-perfect.  Back go the Kamik's, but they would be fine if youu don't have a high  instep.
