Paragon Water Repellent Bootie (Women)

I ordered an 8.5 Wide and my usual size in most shoes is 8-8.5 regular, but wides are more comfortable with socks. I could barely get my foot in this and my toe was hitting the end firmly. The width didn't feel wide at all. And in the winter you want some warm socks. Construction seems good for the price. I'm considering exchanging.

I like these and will keep them. They are 9.5 W, which is my usual size. The length is true to size but the W is less wide than my other Ryka shoes and it fits more like a medium with a round toebox. Luckily this is okay for me because I only need a little extra toe room for one foot, but if you need a true W width this boot might seem snug to you. Also the innersole is the thinnest, stiffest, and cheapest thing I've seen in any Ryka. Fortunately it is removable/replaceable. But these were the reasons I took off two stars. The five-star positives: nice styling and black suede finish, outside zipper that works easily (wonderful & hard to find feature), and comfortable stable walking without any chafing around the shin or ankle that I sometimes get with other ankle boots.
