I have never loved a boot or shoe more than these!!  They are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned!  I got them and then wore them through the airport in Chicago with no problems what so ever!  They didn't need any breaking in time and fit like a glove!!  I am always a size 8 and got the 38 and they are perfect!!  I already bought them in the black too!  They are so worth the money!  The quality is wonderful and very rich feeling and looking!!  I get tons of complements every time I wear them!!  Love all Dansko shoes, boots and sandals!  I have about 12 pair and love every one of them!!!  I would give these 100*'s if I could!!  Highly recommend!
