I chose these boots because I work in resale retail and I am on my feet all day and sometimes get dirty. I have a hard time finding something with enough support for my ankles and I have lower back issues. I finally decided to get the sturdiest boots I could find, I usually wear doc martens with a custom insole. These boots fit spot on! I wear a womens size 9 and i ordered these in mens 7. They fit snug but I can still wiggle my toes, the heal stays in place.There is a little bunching of the lining fabric on the top of the foot almost to the toe that is noticeable but I am hoping flattens out after wearing them from body heat. They really are not that heavy. I don't think they even weigh as much as my doc martens and I am a smaller woman who is not very strong, so for me to say they are light feeling means something! I like that they have good ankle support without looking too bulky. We will see how they perform today at work.
