Love this boot!  I normally wear a 8.5 - 9.  I purchased the 9 and it fits perfect wearing socks or without with a little wiggle room.  This boot is very comfortable and looks great with jeans!  I scotch guarded the outside of the boot for protection from the daily island rain here on the islands.  My only concern is that the dangling fringe.  I've already lost two just with normal wear!!!  Ugh!!  I hope MINNETONKA has replacements available!?!
