I normally wear a size 9.5 but they were only available in 9.0 so I rolled the dice and it payed off. I usually get my boots one size larger but for whatever reason these are perfect - even with thick socks. It's a little narrow to put on so I have to undo the lower buckle. I also had more holes put into the top strap because my legs are a little on the skinny side. All in all the boot looks and feel high quality and look great with everything - skinny jeans, dresses, skirts - PLUS, they are appropriate for any season.
