Love these boots. At first I was a little concerned that they were too tight but I've had other Blondo boots and have always worn the same size. I took a chance and after 1 wearing they felt much looser. I will say, they are not the best boots for no socks.  The ankle is a little tight and tends to rub. But, with cold weather at this point, I've been wearing with socks and I think by the time spring rolls around they will be fine without socks. Super comfortable, great height.  Blondo doesn't disappoint
