I've searched amazon for different types of cowboy boots and read all the reviews before finally making the decision to buy these boots. I'm so glad i chose them. I'm a size 9 & usually have to purchase boots a size bigger. I read reviews stating these boots are true to size so I ordered a 9. I have to say nearly a perfect fit. I wear my boots with regular socks & they fit comfortably. Mind you..I have wide feet. Anyhow, I purchased the black color. Slightly on the gray side, but still looks nice. I love the heels!  Since my feet are big the heel make my feet look smaller & gives a sleek sexy look. As suppose to a square bottom which emphasises length. The boots are also comfortable to walk in. I constantly get compliments. Looks amazing with skinny jeans. I still haven't worn them with a dress, but because of the design on the boot, it will make any outfit look nice. The overall look is like a modern day boot mixed with western style. Very stylish. If you're unsure about these boots, it doesn't hurt to try them. Trust me...you won't be disappointed. Worst case, you can always send them back. One last thing, these boots come in a foamy material...make sure you purchase the synthetic fabric. Hope this post was helpful :-)
