I bought these boots for a trip I am taking to Europe early November.  I wanted something comfortable enough to withstand all the walking I will be doing on my trip, but also cute and not too "hiking boot" like. I have been wearing these around the house and to run errands in order to break them in before my trip.  When I first put them on they were a little tight, but now after 3-4 times of wearing them they have loosened up and feel very comfortable.  I am confident that these boots will be the only shoes I will really need on my trip.

Also, to note: they fit true to size for me, I have average sized calves and can only fit socks and thin leggings.
