These boots are so cute and ridiculously adorable. I like the fact that they're simple and not overly outrageous or anything. No buckles, belts or fringe. Just simple, slouchy-looking boots. I like how sleek they look too. As for sizing, I'd order a half-size up. I'm normally a US women's size 8 but when it comes to boots, I always buy 8 1/2's just in case I want to wear thick socks, which I usually do unless the weather isn't too cold. Size 8 boots always fit perfectly and after a day of walking around in them, they hurt my feet near the end. So order a 1/2 size up to get the comfort you need :)
