I'm giving 5 stars because I got totally lucky with the sizing on these referring to the reviews(thanks ladies):) I would normally wear a size 7. Maybe a 7 1/2 in boots wanting some wiggle room for my toes. Carefully reading and studying the reviews. I chose to go a whole size bigger. Like a size 8. Crossing my fingers while waiting until I received them to try them on. Am I going to be disappointed again(trying to buy shoes on line)or be happy. Well I'm very happy. I tried them on immediately when I received them today with a normal pair of socks and they fit comfortable. Not tight or too loose. So I'm thinking with maybe a thicker pair of socks should do the trick for a perfect fit. I could have possibly bought my usual boot size in 7 1/2 and would have been fine. These definitely run small I'm assuming because never have a ever wore a size 8 shoe or boot. Once again, thanks ladies for your reviews that helped me with my success on finding a pair of work boots. :)
