~THE ZIPPER IS ON THE OUTER PART (left side) OF THE BOOT, NOT THE INNER (right side)~

You're very welcome :) Yes, I had a little panic attack trying these on.

Let me start off by saying: they are made in China (what isn't?). But the quality is not the same as those other notorious products that are manufactured in that country, which I have unfortunately come across. Anyway, the packaging is superb, looks just as if you had bought them straight out of a store or warehouse (but that is more a compliment to the seller, not the boots themselves).

I unwrapped the boots as fast as possible due to my unbearable joy/excitement, and tried them on. This is where I got dizzy. I could not for the life of me tell which boot was meant for which foot. It took me a good ten minutes of trying them on and switching feet to determine that the zipper did in fact go on the OUTER SIDE of the boot as opposed to the inside, which cleared everything up. If you are fluent in shoes, you should know 99.9% of boot zippers go on the inner side. It is the institutionalized norm, and to go against this will inevitably cause confusion.
I even solicited the help of my father who unluckily happened to wander in the room as I was struggling to figure out this puzzling dilemma. I mean, I'm not saying all of you out there will be as slow as I was, but for those who are also sleep-deprived on the day they are trying on these boots, I hope I saved you some trouble with telling the left from the right.

As for the fit: true to the 7.5 size! (though a little snug). I wouldn't rely on reviews on this topic though, because everyone has different feet. I would say I have average sized feet. I have slender calves though and they are a perfect fit around them. I think you would struggle if you have a bigger (or maybe even average?) calf size.

Walking in these boots makes me feel like a supermodel. They are a great autumn staple to have in your shoe collection. They are perfect for those that are well versed in prancing about with high heels, but they would not suit a beginner unless she wants sprained ankles. Also they are a bit slippery if you move too fast on hardwood and tile flooring, so they lost half a star on this, and half a star on the trouble they gave me putting them on.

I would DEFINITELY recommend!
