These boots are GOURGEOUS!! I have in the black as well. I'm usually 6.5-7 & bought in 7 & they fit perfect. I  love how these have a higher shaft because they look great with skirts. They look great w/ skinny jeans too-just gotta roll them up a bit more. The suede is beautiful & they are made well. It is a high heel but I wore them out & I was fine.
