Most of my shoes and ankle boots are from Clarks, I like the fit and I find the quality and service to be high.  I always get an 8 in boots, and 7.5 in open toe shoes.  These boots were off a little for me, they look good but they seemed too narrow and hit my leg at a weird height since they are higher in the front.  I decided to return them because I didn't think I would wear them that often.
