I received these boots as a gift right before a recent trip to Europe (May 2012). They turned out to be amazing for walking all over Europe! My feet were walking on clouds..not one complain of achy feet with these. I walked in rain, so they got a bit dirty and wet, but kept my feet dry throughout it all. I am 7.5 size, so I got 7.5 M(US)--Not the wide one, and they fit perfectly! After so much walking, my feet tend to swell, so the minor extra room in the boots gave my feet a perfect space to still be comfortable and not too tight. My only CON with these is that they scratch easily. So you see a slightly lighter line of brown where the scratches are...but nothing too noticeable...only to me, since they were brand new. After so much wear and tear, you don't notice small scratches anymore. I strongly recommend these!! Totally worth the $$$ and one of the MOST comfortable shoes/boots I've ever worn! Best of all, they are so cute! The little heel serves as extra cushions on your feet, PLUS gives you an extra inch or two of height (for those short people like me).

I feel I must make another comment! It's 2015 and I've had these boots since 2012. They've survived trips to 5 countries in Europe, rain, snow, and dirt! After having a baby my feet grew to a size 8 and somehow these boots still fit! (7.5)--they r a little snug.
I am looking to buy these exact ones because I love them so much! In a size 8. My husband hates when I complaint of swollen achy feet, but there's never a complaint when I wear these. I would recommend these to my family and loved ones! Worth EVERY PENNY! :)
