Okay I really like these boots. However... I'm not pleased with myself. I always order my true size 8&1/2 but someone reviewed this boot and said it ran small... I mulled it over for like two hours before I placed my order... well I decided to order a 9 to be safe. . . AND IT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO! They are too big, I'm so upset because I usually know better... THESE FIT TRUE TO SIZE!!! Anyways I wore them out for like an hour and I cant return them now... so I am stuck with beautiful boots that are too big!
