These boots do run a bit large like other reviewers said.  But the extra room is nice for tucking in jeans.  I ordered a 6.5 and usually wear a 7.  They are really cute and come up to the top of the calf.  They are definitely fake leather, but it's not like I bought them to last forever anyways.  Purely for fashion.  They kind of hurt my feet by the end of the day because there is no support, but my feet are very sensitive and I have to have good shoes if I'm walking or standing all day.  Overall, I would recommend these boots.
