I just received my order, and I absolutely LOVE these boots!!!! I ordered my usual size 8 and they fit perfectly and they are very comfortable! The red color is not very bright, which I am very happy about (more like a burnt red but still red!)...They look like a brighter red in the picture.  I have thin calves, and these fit just right, so they would not be good for someone with bigger or more athletic calves... The buttons on the side are so cute, and very well made and the ruching on the boot is just perfect.  I highly recommend these boots, and it's still cool enough in Boston to wear them!!! :)
