Poor fit on heels, but very warm and soft,

[Same review as the one I posted for Baffin Women's Impact Insulated boots- fit is identical.] I didn't need a boot that would be warm down to -100, but decided to go ahead and get a heavy duty snow boot since the less warm/less waterproof ones were also over $100. I'm sure this boot is extremely warm and waterproof, and it is certainly very soft and cushy inside due to the pillowy inner liner, but I would not recommend this boot unless you truly need to stand for long periods of time in extreme cold and wet conditions. This boot is very stiff, fairly heavy, and quite difficult to walk in (similar to ski boots). My biggest complaint is actually due to the fit.
I have normal width size 7 feet and typically fit true to size in most running shoes and boots. My calves are very athletic and my heels are not narrow, so I've never experienced boots that moved around too much. The length of these boots is just right and true to fit.

I have always suffered from cold feet and needed a waterproof, very warm, practical boot for walking my dogs in Midwest winter weather. These have been great for trudging through snow and slush on trails. I am a 6.5 to 7 and the 7 fit me fine. I agree with the previous review that they are a little wide at the ankle and shaft but by doing them up as tight as possible I can walk comfortably in them for 2 hours (I haven't tried any longer than this but I don't anticipate any problems). The foam inside really cradles the foot and the shaft is also soft and flexible. I have not had any blisters or problems. These really keep your feet warm, sometimes my feet even feel a little too warm! Just for that they are worth it!
