I ordered these boots and received them today.  I found them to be roomy in the toe box, and comfortable despite the heel height.  I would say they run true to size, maybe just a tad on the big side.  The details of the boots are nice, and seem to be securly sewn on.  Now the cons, the shaft of the boot was very tall.  I am 5'7" and have never had this issue before.  The shaft of the boot came right under my kneecap, not a flattering height for me.  The shaft itself is fairly narrow, good for women with small to average size calves.  I liked the boot other than this, so decided to fold down the top part of the boot, to make it shorter.  It seemed to do the trick.  I plan on keeping them.
