Earlier this month, I got a different pair of Aerosole boot/shoes that were on sale on Amazon and I really like them. As many Aerosole reviewers on other shoe reviews note, Aerosole runs true to size. I usually wear 8-1/2 to 9-ish, sometimes 9-1/2, and tend not to mail order shoes bc of that. When I saw so many say that they run true to size, and then saw those first boots on sale more than 50% off, I thought I'd try them. I got an 8-1/2 and they totally run true to size, although I would say if you run kind of in-between and plan to wear socks with them (thicker than trouser socks), I'd probably err on the side of a little bigger, but that's only if you're in-between to start with. After I got the first pair (they were black) I then went looking for a brown pair, and fell in love with these. I again ordered 8-1/2 and they are a perfect fit. They are really attractive, both with dress slacks and with jeans (I have them on today with skinny-jeans and they look great.) The only thing I wish was different about Aerosoles is that the heels clickety-clunk when you walk. I don't know why they do as the soles appear to be rubber-like. I work in an all-male department (to clarify, I am not male, everyone else is though). It's awkward to make loud slapping sounds when I walk to the printer or to the restroom. (no carpet and quite obviously uncoordinated) Other than that, there is nothing I don't like about Aerosoles. Especially now that I know I can get them to fit through the mail.  Absolutely 5 stars on these!
