Purchased FitFlop Tall Boot in Chocolate color. Loved enough to splurge on a second in Black. Ultra lightweight with its soft flexible shaft. Easier to tackle subway stairs unlike the more structured boots. Footbed is comfortable for hours of walking. Pebbled leather lends an expensive look. Wide toe-box nicer than other popular brands. Works well with tucked jeans and skirts. I wear an 8.5. Ordered the 9 against advice of most reviewers--I'm a rebel :-) The 9s allow wiggle-room for thicker socks in cold weather. My advice: If you fall between sizes (on products available only in full-sizes) always order up. Your toes and heels will thank you.
