I actually liked these better than the tall boots, easy to pull on and off and great for fall too since they're not as tall! I have them in brown and ordered a new pair in gray for the season.
I was recommended to size down. I normally wear 6.5 and have ordered size 6 for this comfy boots. It fits perfectly. It's warm and comfortable. I hope it won't wear quickly.
The mini is the perfect short boot. I bought these for walking my dog...or just to slip on to run outside, but I haven't used anything else since they arrived. Easy to get into with or without socks, and my feet are kept warm in the coldest weather.
I love that they are short enough to slip on with jeans, etc , and their comfort level is a 10.
