I use to get really nervous purchasing shoes on the net.  The first pair I bought didn't fit and had to relegate them to a second hand shop.  But these are great.  I can wear them at work all day and they never get heavy nor do they rub.  My daughter, who is a personal shopper in San Francisco loves these boots on  me.  My thing is the shoes that I buy cant't be available here or I wont' buy them.  These do fit that bill as well
