I bought these shoes in 8.5, which is my standard size, but tends to run a little small for me for some shoes. For boots, I almost considered getting a size 9, but I'm glad I didn't. Buy a half size smaller than you would for roomy leather boots. I can wear double socks with this and be perfectly comfortable. To be honest, this is perfect, since I just bought fairly thick insoles to put inside them, but without them my feet would slide around and I'd probably consider returning them for a smaller pair. Otherwise these boots are perfect. They are very tall and the leather is soft and pliable. The boots can be scrunched down for a different look, and are very comfortable in the calf. I'm average size and there was lots of room left over, so I wouldn't worry about anyone who is overweight wearing these. The heel is the perfect height for someone who is active, has to walk a fair amount each day, but also wants to look cute. I shake my head at girls my age who wear stilettos to lectures- it just doesn't make sense to me, but these are the perfect mix of utilitarian and sexy. Overall, I definitely recommend them.I purchased these boots last winter and they have become my goto favorite brown boots. The leather is really good quality pebbled leather, not thin but not too thick either, very rich color. The heel is a perfect height and are real stacked heels. I usually wear a 8.5, but I got these in a 8 and they fit perfectly, so I'd say they may run a bit large. They can be worn with leggings, over jeans or even look great with a skirt. They are pull on, no zipper, and the calf fits with enough room that you can pull on the boot easily but it is not too baggy on the calf. They are just really stylish bootsI bought these in grey and am very pleased with them. The leather is soft and they look and feel well made. They run at least a half size big, I bought an 8.5 and am usually a 9. I still have room for a good size sock. Hopefully they are comfortable, I'll update once I wear them. The grey is a nice soft gray, it doesn't look worn though.There is nothing like a compliment to confirm a boot is right! Add supreme comfort,quality, and great price and you have perfection.I wore these boots all day, right out of the box, then all of Thanksgiving weekend, including a museum trip. I have "problem" feet but would not hesitate to make these my only shoes for a trip. I think they run about a whole size large, but that allows me to wear any socks I want. Paired with leggings, these boots are really stylin'. I was a little self conscious my first time out because a lot of people gave my boots a double take, but once I realized that was a good thing, I went on my merry way.These boots look absolutely great! I've gotten so many compliments on them - truly a very "rich" colour and don't think you get any better quality boots than these. Like a couple of other reviews have said, they are a bit on thelarge size for me (through the heel). But I checked tonight for a 1/2 size smaller, which they have in stock. I'm flying home to visit my family this weekend and if these boots fit my sister I'm going to give them to her and reorder a 1/2 size smaller for myself. I'm tempted to buy a pair of black ones as well 'cause I love them that much!!i like the boots cuz i got them super discounted from amazon warehouse and i like the overall look of the boot. and i am keeping them despite the fact that they are lil heavy and clunky. but i dont need to walk very far usually. and when i sit and cross my legs the back of the boot where the tabs and metal are sometimes bother me.Well made, quality leather and warm. I have two issues with the boot- 1: it runs large, almost a full size 2: it is quite heavy.I kept them and added a footbed, because I was traveling and needed a warm stylish boot and had no time to exchange. They are adorable with a skinny jean. I get tons of compliments on them.I love these boots! They only took a week to arrive at my post box in Australia! They are a generous fitting in both the calf and the foot size. I put some inner soles in them for extra comfort and wear them with socks so that takes up the extra room. They're easy to get on and off even though I have a high instep. They're nice and long even though I've got long legs. They look great with jeans tucked into them.
