I normally wear a size 6 but after reading other reviews I ordered a half a size up-something I've never had to do in any other brand of boots I own.  I figured worse case scenario, I could wear them with comfy socks but no. These run more than a half a size small. I was lucky to get my foot in the 6 1/2 at all and with a long narrow shaft and thin suede, I worry that these boots wouldn't hold up to repeatedly taking them on and off.  They are cute but they're also really thin and cold, small and not all that comfortable. I paid to send them back because there are just too many cuter, warmer options that seem better for the long term.
