Shoes just arrived and I tried them on immediately. Bandolino has a very good reputation for quality shoes. This boot is very well made, comfortable with a classy look. I purchased the grey suede in my normal size 8.5. They fit perfect and the suede is so soft that the shoe fits well. Recap:  True to size, true to picture, quality boot and I could wear them all day.  These are a good buy.  I'm in my late 50's and my husband thinks they look great on me.
