Boots are very comfortable and well made.  They DO run large.  I wear a 6 1/2 - 7 ordered a 6 and still a tad big.  I wish the side was sealed and the ribbon was just an embelishment.  I tied the boots up and slip them on.  They stay pretty good.  Maybe there should be snaps to keep the boot closed better.  Love the looks and get lots of compliments on them
