I absolutely love this boot. I am generally a 9-1/2 in boots and have a hard to fit foot most 9-1/2's are either just a little too tight or a little too large-
 this boot is toward the just a smidgen too large side. Been looking for a lightweight leather boot in this style for over a year now though and his is exactly what I wanted. I have wide feet and many woman's shoes are too narrow for me- these are perfect in that regard. They do run true to size/SLIGHTLY larger-roomy- if the same shoe where still available in a 9 I might actually have  tried 9 but I love the dang boot so much and it is so comfortable right at the first try on I will keep the 9 1/2. Leaves room for a nice thick winter sock. So many boots in this style have a heel that is too high for comfort for me or are too heavy or are not actually leather. I love Roxy boots- and if you have ever worn their non leather version of this style of boot and liked it and are in the market for an actual leather version I think you will love this boot. I will prob through a coat of scotch guard on them. Perfect for me for hiking around in dusty high desert conditions. I Actually do no care for traditional super heavy duty hiking boots- I don't like the extra weight and many are too low for my taste as well- I like a boot that comes a little higher up my calf and the built in sock rim bit of faux fur only at the top of the boot make that part feel super comfy even with a low sock.
