Normally I wear a size 6 1/2 but I buy my boots in a size 7 in order to wear thick socks. So these boots fit well. They are very comfortable and the heel isn't that high; it won't hurt to wear them all day. My legs are average (size 10) so I can stuff my pants inside my boots. They do not look cheap at all. Actually, I wear them more than I had planned to because they are so comfortable.
