I had previously bought some boots from the same brand (Dream Pairs) the styles are similar, I brought the boots in a size 9, they fitted me perfect at first but quickly stretched out and I wore them with thicker socks.  the boots were very comfortable.  I decided to get these booties in a size 81/2 and they fit perfect! they are very comfortable, I have been wearing them with trouser socks.  These are very cute, you can dress them up or dress them down.  They are perfect for work and I am very happy with this purchase.
