I went a half size larger than my casual shoe size and they fit like a charm. Snug, but enough room for the space/air left to be warmed up quickly. They're light and don't feel like I'm walking around in clown shoes. I was out in the snow, shoveling, for an hour (on a couple occasions) and my feet/toes didn't even begin to get cold with just these boots and a normal pair of socks. I'm looking forward to snowshoeing with these in the northern part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 2 weeks.
These are my first pair of real snow boots and they don't disappoint. They've been in 10ºF / -12ºC temps burried under 3 ft of snow for a few hours and kept my feet warm with nothing more than a single pair of SmartWool socks. They don't feel large on the feet allowing you to walk in them like you would any other pair of shoes. I've walked my way up about a 40-45º incline snow/ice pile without feeling like I was going to slip and fall, so the grip on the bottom is also very good.

These boots by far are the best things i have ever purchased to keep me warm in the winter time. My feet never once got cold, even on nights that were under 0 degrees. If i was to describe how these boots feel on my feet, I would say its like sticking your feet in between the couch cushions. I did have to buy boots that were 1 1/2 size bigger than my normal size, so i recommend trying them on at the store if your able too. The rubber cleans real easy and so does the seude as long as you buy some protector for it. ( 8$ suede protector bottle will last forever). Boots have a great look and i cant believe how many compliments I get on them. Cant wait to put them on again next winer!
These boots are great, they hold up so well in the snow. Plus they are as comfortable as ever. The inner layer feels very warm and soft and it always feels nice to slide them on my feet. I am a happy guy for grabbing these. Plus I was able to get them with my Moosejaw reward points. Woot Woot!
