Please be aware they run small! I literally ordered a "9" (40) because the 8-8 1/2 (39) were too tight when I ordered them six months ago. I wear a size 8 normally in shoes. There was no problem sending them back on Amazon BUT I so had wanted them to fit. I have a wider toe area and since the boots are more tapered in front, they pinched and were not comfortable. Now as I am thinking of fall comingI kept wishing I could get them. They were & are great quality and would go either with jeans, pants or with tights and a dress. So, I thought, why not try a full size up? Yikes I never took a 9 ever. Well I am SO GLAD I did because these 9's will work out perfectly. They do NOT make your feet look huge! They will work with socks when I wear pants. When I wear tights they felt slight loose but doable. Then I tried them with short black socks over the tights! Yeah! They fit perfectly that way and with Ohio winters, my toes will be nice and cozy. The point is take the advice of many. Go up a 1/2 or full size and they will fit and you will LOVE THEM. Quality is amazing. Leather is soft and comfortable. Brocade pattern on the boot is beautiful. Heels are just right and quiet on floor. Zipper feels nice and stitching is ombre. So many nice touches. Can't wait to wear them! :)These boots definitely run small. I take an 8 1/2 ,ordered a 9, still tight.Looks and comfyI love the Look of these boots! But they run small. I initially ordered the 9 and 1/2 to 10 size and they were too tight so then I ordered the 10 and 1/2 to 11 and they're still too tight. Typically, I wear a 9 and 1/2 wide or a 10. I'm disappointed, as I really do love the look of these boots. The quality looks great, the style is super cute, even more so then the photos. They just run small. I will have to return both sizes and won't get to have these cute boots as part of my wardrobe.I purchased a pair in my size and they were too small, so I returned them and bought the next largest size. They are really cute but very uncomfortable! After about an hour of wearing them my feet hurt so bad I didn't want to walk anymore. I also ended up with a blister on the top of my big toe. Before I wear them again, I will put cushioned insoles in and bandages on my toes. lolThese boots are beautiful and fit well. The only issue is that after wearing them one time the stitching on top of one of the boots has already started to come undone.When it come to this brand you really get more bang for your buck. I'm very hard on shoes and these have all held up remarkably well. As a matter of fact better than the others at this price range. I love the diversity that you have to choose from, sophisticated and subtle to bold and daring! No matter your mood they have it to fit it !If you find a pair that you just love, love, love, at a great price buy 2 pairs, I always do!!! You'll be glad you did.I wear a size 7 and have had no problems. I have tried the next size up and definitely are too big.Yes I highly recommend!!Shoe really look great. They're comfortable and my feet do not get tired after a long day of wearing these boots.
