Ok, since I was born in 1971, I feel somewhat connected to this boot, being that they were invented in 1970/1971!!! First of all, I love "vintage" everything. Sneakers, clothes, etc. I had moon boots as a child, and when I found them again, I knew I HAD to have them. Besides the fact that my children want me to play in the snow with them, and other "popular" fashionable boots on the market are not good for snow play. I ordered these in Black, and I ordered a 35-38, since I am a 7.5. They fit just perfect, although, if you wanted to wear thick socks the boot would be snug (remember, with the Euro sizing, this range is from like a 4.5-7.5). The padding inside is dreamy. Not cloud-like, but dreamy just the same. These are so warm, you don't need thick socks. Also, the boots in a size 35-38 make my feet look cute and small, if that is possible?? anyway, they are well made and adorable. You will get LOOKS. If you are not the sort who can handle some sideways glances, these boots are not for you. But the reaction is not negative, it is "WOW. Are they warm?" I live in Buffalo, so people really need to care about warmth first. I've worn them out and about with leggings, and they look so cute. You could wear them with skinny jeans, too. I suppose you can wear them with ANYTHING, but for a more fashionable look, and to show off the "Moon Boot logo" I choose pants that can be tucked in. As for the sizing. I am a solid 7.5. If I had gone with the 39-41, I believe my feet would be swimming. I think for driving, you may be better off being a bit closer to the high end of the size range, because, as others have said, these are bulky on the sides. I am loving them. Paid 66.33, and feel that is a steal. I now want the rainbow ones! I will have to pay more for those. Also, keep in mind, you can wear these without snow on the ground, but the soles were meant for snow. So I would think that on pavement too much, you would run the risk of breaking down the soles, just sayin. Someone had posted about the soles not holding up. I will update in a few months....stay tuned if you care. My litle boys want these now too, which is very funny. They freaked when I took them out of the bag. They were like : Oh mom, those are so cool!!!!!!" I would love to see more teens in these because they are known to want to be fashionable with less concern for warmth. With these boots, they would have BOTH and with the size range there is a real possibility that the boots can be shared or passed on, as young feet grow. I'm very frugal, so I think paying 200.00 for a 13 year old's boots is not wise, unless you can really afford it. Just my two cents...peace. Have a blessed Thanksgiving! I putting on my legging, a big sweater and my Moon Boots to go out in the snow to Grandmas house! My feet will be toasty, and if I decide to go anywhere that I have to be outside, I will have the warmest feet in the crowd.
