I love the FitFlop brand and bought these boots after giving thier FitFlop lounge clogs a try. The boots have that same cushiony feeling when you walk and broke these boots in by walking all over the City in them on my birthday and then dancing at a reggae club all night. I am normally a size 7 1/2, so I ordered a size 8 in these boots. Being a bit chubby, they are a bit tight at the top. I don't have super big calves, so anyone who carries their weight in their calves may want to bypass this particular brand. Also, they are a little loose in the foot area since I am not a true size 8. I think the size 7 would've been too small, though. With that said, I wear the boots all the time and the looseness really hasn't been a problem.
