I'm in love with these boots! The design is as beautiful and detailed as they appear in photos, but the colors are softer and more muted, which makes them more wearable and versatile. Cowboy boots tend to be on the pricier side, and it's hard to find an affordable pair without an expense to the quality, but these are genuine leather and constructed very well, and definitely a steal!

The only tricky thing is the sizing. I researched multiple reviews, here and elsewere, to determine the best fit but I was met with a lot of conflicting answers, so I took a gamble and ordered my usual size 9. The size 9 was absolutely huge (unwearable!) so I re-ordered them a FULL SIZE down to an 8, which fits perfectly!

So do these run small, large, or true to size? The answer is: that depends! Although cowboy boots run a little larger by nature, they're also relatively narrow because they're designed long lengthwise with pointed toes and taller shafts, so the fit depends a lot on the shape and width of your feet and calves. I have narrow to normal width feet, with high arches and tapered (pointed) toes, so I had to size down dramatically; however, if you have wider feet or calves, then you'd be better off with your normal size or a size up.
