These boots are great! They are so cute and different. They do run true to size. If you are a half size, go one size up. I ordered my usual nine and they were slightly snug, but not uncomfortable. As they are rubber, they're not going to stretch. Thus, if you're an 8 1/2, order the 9. (Unlike Wellington-style boots that tend to run a little large, these are more like true cowboy boots.)

Really, the only reason I go into the size thing is because I want you to be as happy with these frivolous, fun boots that add a "splash" of color to a dreary, rainy day. I wish I could wear them all the time!
