These boots are absolutely gorgeous!  Unfortunately, they run small.  I returned mine at a cost of $26 shipping (both ways) and ordered a half size larger.  But they didn't feel any larger.  So, not wanting to spend another $26 on shipping, I spent half that amount and just returned them the second time.  I have other Merrell boots that are true to size.  I will probably buy these at an outdoor store where I can try them on in person eventually.  But I'm smarting from spending nearly $40 and still have no boots that fit.
