I bought this boot in a size 8.5 b/c it was less expensive than the size 8 by a lot.  The color was fabulous.  They were too roomy.  I probably could have used the 8.  The circumference of the boot was very tight.  I am a smaller boned lady and it fit pretty closely.  The ankle and footbed were huge.  What person has a cankle and extra wide foot and skinny calves?  It just does not make any sense.  When you walked in them they scrunched just around the ankle.  Extra weird fit and had to send them back.
