Shipping was super fast! I am a woman's size 7.5/8 and bought a size 6 of these boots. They fit great, and very comfy. There was still a bit room for movement at the front, so I added an insole for extra comfort. Perfect and flattering. They make my legs look leaner and longer. At first, I was scared that the front of the shoe might be really bulky and big-looking, giving the impression of clown shoes, but they aren't. They look really awesome, especially in photographs. I was also scared that my calves would not fit since my calf diameter is between 14.5-15 inches. I know, yikes! But after playing around with the laces and buckles, everything looks and fits just fine. And like I said before, they make your legs look leaner. Anyone who has a bigger diameter than me might want to think twice before buying these boots though, because I was just able to fit into them just right.
