I normally wear a size 8 but sized up to a 9 per the other reviews. While the length was adaquete the calf width is way too small on this boot. Ive never considered myself as having larger than normal calves but I can barely get my legs into these boots. They are extremely painful to wear. I thought the tops of these boots would widen after wearing them for several times but they havent. I even bought liners to see if they would make the boot shafts less painful but no luck. I wish I could still return them as I basically cannot use them at all.
