I loved the look of these boots and when I caught them at a good price I jumped at it.  The boots fit true-to-size but were slightly snug across the top of my foot with light socks. Throughout the first day, since they are genuine leather, they stretched out and were comfortable.  One caveat, which is why I docked one star, is that the stitching on the back of the boot is sharp/rough and caused a sore on the back of my leg. I gave the boots several more wears but the stitching didn't soften. I did a little research for a cheap home remedy and I came across an article that suggested orthodontic wax to cover the tough stitching. This really seemed to do the trick. I have noticed that after a few wears the wax will loosen up so it does need to be reapplied on occasion but the wax is super cheap and the boots are too cute to not wear!  These are a well-made boot just plan to wear them a little to break them in-similar to how you have to wear Rainbow sandals a few times to get them just right.
