The boots arrived and look as expected--but, they seem a bit narrow in the ankle and my daughter has had a bit of difficulty pulling them on--even though the foot sizing is more than adequate and she has a fairly flat foot and a thin ankles/calves.  She must wear thin socks with them (no wool possible) or she isn't able to pull them on.

They look great and they fit great--once they are on her feet.  She has worn them for a few weeks--and they do not seem to be "softening" or loosening at all--which I suppose is good for form--but, it also means that they still remain a bit difficult to tug on and off.
