This boot is very stylish and cute. I love it. It feels a little big, but I'm not sure if it warrants going down half a size.  I will most likely just buy a cushioned insert. After wearing the boots I find them comfortable enough for long term wear.  My only concern was the zipper. The boots have a full zipper on the outside, but I could not get either zipper to zip down.  I am not sure if the zipper is just for looks.  It extends fully the shaft of the boot.  Fortunately, I was able to pull the boots over my skinny jeans when I tucked the jeans into my socks. They look great on.
