I first got these boots in a size 8.5- the size of my skechers running shoes.  The boots were HUGE! I sent then back- it cost $20. I got a size 8 and they are still too big in the toe area but getting tight in the width, but they are wearable. I put Dr. Schols inserts in them to take up some of the size and to make them a little more comfortable as the inside soles are quite hard as some of the reviews said.  Having spent over $100 on the boots-because of shipping them back and the insoles, I don't love the boots like I had hoped I would.  The way the zip stops short of the top is odd and seems to cause the top to flap open.  I am thinking of sending them back for good. I was so looking forward to these boots.  I have never bought shoes on line and probably won't again.  It is too risky finding the right fit.
