Terrible sizing
I normally wear a 8.5 shoe, very consistently. So ordered an 8.5, but those were too large. So then exchanged for a 7.5. Those are still too big. I don't know how the company decided on sizing for these. I'll be returning them, it's not worth the trouble trying to figure out this sizing.

Runs big otherwise fine
I should have paid attention to the other reviews that said these run large! I normally wear a size 10 and run wide across the front of my foot but my feet were positively swimming in these. However, my older boots cracked and I needed something immediate to deal with wet weather so I did not return them. With all that extra space inside the boot I was able to add a second insole (no arch support with the one it comes with) and am able to wear a heavy pair of wool socks with liner sock underneath. That's kept my feet warm this winter. But I feel like they look a bit like clown shoes since they are so large - still about a half inch too long even with all the extra sock padding. If not for the sizing issue these would've been perfect.

Had to return
I tried to order a half size down based on reviews but they were still too big. I don't know if anyone else has this much trouble, but boot sizing just doesn't seem accurate. These had a slightly higher heel than I'm used to. I wear a gel pad around the ball of my foot and there was plenty of room in the toe box. But the heel height caused a little too much pressure on the ball of my foot. They are a nice looking boot and felt sturdy. Unfortunately they just don't work for me.

SO Comfortable
These are the best seasonal boots! SO comfortable as well as warm and waterproof. These definitely run large, so be aware. I’m a 9.5-10 typically and even the 9s that I kept are still pretty roomy. These are also wide foot approved. I even walked around Boston all day, and my feet were warm, comfortable, and didn’t have aching feet afterwards. Can’t wait ti buy another pair!

Great boot - runs a little big!
This is a really comfortable boot that seems very durable. Definitely keeps your feet dry in the mud and water! I highly recommend them, but be aware that they run large. The first pair I ordered in my usual size and they're quite roomy. I ordered a second pair in a half size smaller and they're still a smidge roomy, but closer to my fit.

great boots for the money
One of your team members recommend I try these because I wanted a boot that is a little bit wider than ariat paddock boots. I read reviews on sizing and ordered these (which is ordeing slightly down in size for me - I'm either a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe). At first the fit, btu was unsure about the foot bed. After wearing in the barn to work and ride, I love them! My feet don't get tired or sore. We'll see how long they hold up.... I do wish they had a spur rest, but really all else is great. No rubs, work with my custom half chaps, and will be cute to wear out with jeans too ( I got black to match my half chaps).

Amazing Everyday Boot
My daughter absolutely loves these boots. They are comfortable, durable and waterproof. She has had her first pair for almost a year now and wears them every day. I ordered a second pair so they were ready when these wear out. Unfortunately in the last year the sizing has changed and this pair is huge in comparison. Swapping them for down a half size.

Durability & Comfort
These boots are extremely well-built, durable, and comfortable! They are wide at the toe which aides tremendously with the neuropathy in my feet, allowing for pain-free use all day!

Not water tight!!!!
I live in the Pacific Northwest. We have lots of rain, and we have LOTS of mud.
I do barn chores with these and I tell you, they are not water tight. These are my second pair of Dublins as my first are tall boots. That pair lasted 5 years of cleaning stalls, turn outs, bring ins, baths etc. etc. They have tears and look like they’ve been through a wood chipper, yet they’re still water tight. So, I would expect the same from these. Nope. Not water tight. So unless you just want to use these to wear around the barn and don’t do any barn chores, they’re fine.
Really disappointed as I loved Dublin boots in the past and would recommend them to everyone. Now, I have wet socks.
