I like these shoes a lot. I got them in black, size 9. The suede is gorgeous and a very good quality. It's a very fine suede. They are a little on the snug side. I wear an 8.5M and my last pair of Luichiny's in 9 were WAY too big. These fit just about right in size 9 for me, though they probably run a little small (I would say a half size). Toes are not TOO crowded, but the shoe does run on the narrow side.

I do have one issue with this boot. The back of the shoe, where it kinda juts up in the back...this digs into your ankle when you walk, so I would NOT wear this shoe bare foot. You're going to need tights or thick stockings, or something. Otherwise this will be digging into your achilles all day. It was hard to focus on things like arch support (though it DOES have padding and a bit of arch support) when you have a problem like this.

Overall though, this is a nice looking boot. I would give it 4.5 but we cannot give half stars.
