I was so excited to find these boots, only to be disappointed when I received them!  They ran very small and were SO hard to get on!  I actually needed a shoehorn!!  After wrestling them on my feet, I stood up and my toes were rammed into the front of the boot. SO sad!  I ordered my normal size (9) and even have a different pair of similar boots in chestnut (they are 8" ones) that fit great...unfortunately, these did NOT fit the bill at ALL and I'll be returning them for sure.
