If you are a half size - order a size up!! I wanted to love these boots.. I am a HUGE Sam Edelman fan - literally half of my shoes are this brand. So I was super upset when I put on my boot and felt how tight it was. It was pouring rain so I had nice thick socks on.. noooope. WAY too tight around the top of my foot. It fit fine every where else - but I had pressure marks on my feet and they were getting tingly from the tightness. These puppies are going back.. I will try for a bigger size when they are back in stock. Sad :(
