true to size. These boots are pretty comfy. I do put insoles in them but thats due to high arches and foot pain. I have a narrow foot so they fit in there just fine.  These boots are super cute and I've gotten lots of compliments on them.  I wish they were a little more snug at the top but since I have chicken legs...thats seems to be a reoccuring issue :/  THey do kinda have an aged look??? if thats what you would call it? marbled? Over all Im very pleased.
