Really loved these boots, tried them in my regular size, and 8.5, and my foot was pinched painfully. When I tried them in a size up, 9.5, they fit great! However, after 2-3 wears the leather loosened up in the ankle area considerably, so now they don't fit as well. Maybe I should have just ordered a 9, but can't send them back now! Oh well, I'll have to figure out a way to make them fit better, insoles or something.
