I saw these boots before they came out, and saw them in a magazine, and have wanted them ever since. I wear an 8.5-9, narrow foot. I'm just disapointed that they slip in the heel so much, that I will have to wear heal backs on them, just to keep them on my feet. I think a half size down might be too tight in the narrow toe area. I would think a better made shoe wouldn't do this. Maybe some advice would be nice?
