Pajar Women's Alina Boot - Waterproof Winter Snow Boots with Fur Lining for Cold Weather - Perfect for Hiking, Snowshoeing & Outdoor Adventures

I wear a 10.5 in athletic shoe, a 9 in regular flat shoes. Chose the 41 in this boot hoping for extra toe room. So glad I did. They are close to perfect with heavy socks - with room in the toebox to insert a 'toe-warmer' as well. I like the zipper along with laces for tightening around my ankles. Both my feet are compromised in different ways - one has bunion, one has a recent ankle replacement. These boots are comfortable on both. I have not yet worn them in extreme cold or slushy conditions but will update this review after my upcoming trip to Churchill, Manitoba, where temperatures fall well below zero everyday.Update: I wore these boots for a week in northern Manitoba and they functioned beautifully for me. With toe warmers and wooly socks, my feet were warm during up to 2 hours outdoors in -25 to -8 F temperatures. The traction was very good on hard, slippery surfaces. I never tested them for waterproofness since nothing ever reached melting temperature. The boots were not uncomfortable and never seemed heavy to me. The zippers functioned just fine, I was able to tuck fleece-lined pants into the boot tops. These will be 'light-use' boots for me, but I am very pleased with their performance - especially at the price point.
