I ordered the boots to get here overnight. They did.  I wear a size 5 1/2 shoe but got a 6 so with socks it would work. I have to push hard to get it on, and I have a little extra room once on for warm socks in the winter.  So far, I've only worn them once but plan to wear them more this winter in Maine.  I love the look of them and think the leather will loosen up the more I wear them.  Will update if they don't.
