These are true to size.  When I put them on, it felt like I was walking on a wooden floor, but some nice insoles fixed that.  They are cute, very well made, and the suede is not cheap.  It's thick, strong, and heavy suede.  The calves fit nicely over jeans, not tight at all.  I am a runner, so my calves are pretty built... about 15" around the largest area, and these boots are a perfect fit.  Love them!!!  Very comfy and cozy!!!
