I love these boots. I ordered the dark distressed with pattern. I ordered a 7 even though I wear 7.8-8. Other reviews say the boots run big, and they are correct. They are super comfortable. I recently wore them for two long flights/lots of walking, and they were fantasticly comfortable. When they first arrived, they were scratchy and dry. I applied three coats of boot conditioning leather cream and now they are hydrated and soft. I wouldn't mind these boots in another color.
