I didn't buy these at amazon, but I stalked them at a local boutique for months, watching the price slowly decrease until one day they were 50% off, and there was only ONE PAIR left!

heart trembling, I check the size, only to be disappointed, because it was smaller than I usually wear (typically a 9.5-10)  I try them on anyway... and they FIT!

Now, a year later, I still get compliements every time I wear them.  Which is often, since this wasn't a case of "I love them, they're on sale, so I can cram my feet in there a couple of times, and then leave them in the closet for 10 years because they are so pretty and were such a good deal."

In another words, they run a bit large- long and average to narrow.  I'd say about a 1/2 size below your usual boot size.  I have a fairly wide toe box, and these shoes almost accommodate it, but are a bit narrower then I'd like.  If you have wide feet, I would not recommend ordering a 1/2 size down.

They strike at about mid to high calf on me.

Mine have stretched out and become even comfier over time.

Also-for the record, Amazon has a better price.
