I am head over heels with these boots they are EXACTLY what I was looking for. They are rustic looking the color is perfect the leather is great. They are def true to size I ordered a size 7 and they are perfect with a nice amount of room for thick socks. I will say they seem a bit slippery but I will figure it out. The shape of the boot is really nice, they do not make your feet look huge but they do not compromise the western look. I don't know if I will ever take these off. They have a touch of gold above the heel but its not enough to make the boots look cheesy. I really love these... The heel is wood so it doesnt clash with the light color of these boots.
