Women's Caterpillar Abbey Steel Toe Work Boot

I'll start off by saying they look great and the soles are comfortable to walk on. The length of the shoe seems to fit fine but the rest is just awkwardly large, even with thick wool socks. It's possible that they just run large and I should have gone a half size down but they just feel clumsy. I've never ordered from CAT before and took a gamble buying a pair without reviews. I was looking for a Chelsea style with a tighter ankle for men but my size wasn't available in the men's selection and had to opt for these. I would return them but since I've worn them now I suppose I'll be buying some insoles and much thicker socks.
