I'm in love with these boots. They are so cute and I've gotten compliments on them. I knew the zipper wouldn't work from other reviewers but it takes less than a minute to lace them up so I that doesn't bother me. Also I ordered a size 7 and a half although I'm a consistent size 7 because several reviews said they run small. Here's what I found- I can wear them comfortably because I wear extra thick socks from Sept to May anyway. But if I wore regular socks I could've gotten just the size 7.
