i ordered this boot because it looked so chic yet casual at the same time. however when i received it, the top part was SO flabby. i thought the boots wouldve been better off without it. it was so thin and waved back and forth. i just couldn't accept that style and would not know how to pull it off. but the rest of the boot has pretty nice leather and quite a unique style. i sized half a size up to wear thick socks and i would say it runs true to size.
