I am petite and usually wear size 6 shoes. I ordered 6.5 just to make sure I have enough wiggle room and can wear over skinny jeans. While I love the style, and it seemed comfortable even with the 4 inch heel, albeit wedge - it was too tight around my calves!!! My calves are average, it would have been great if boots were designed with a little give around that area. I am torn between returning or keeping it as the sale price can't be beat, but I also ordered the BCBG Watson to compare it with (this one is cute as well - and will review shortly). I hope MIA designers read these reviews and redesign this boots.
