The magnums looked really cool, but I knew I'd have to try on whatever boot I ended up buying. Went to Famous Footwear and got men's size 9. Much more room than the women's boots, which were too narrow for the bad ankle. I tossed the box and can't remember the brand, but they feel fantastic. Also, I just got a Land's End catalogue. They have a fantastic boot that I may order too, now that I know my size in men's. 400-gram Snow Boots with thinsulate lining. I may go for it.
