These boots are even better than I expected! I did order one size smaller and I am so pleased I did. Thanks for those of you who said that prior to me buying these. They were a bit tight initially on my biggest foot and after a day of wearing with no sore spots--fit like a glove now and so incredibly comfortable. I did wish they had come with care instructions and there was only one cardboard boot support instead of for both boots. Oh well, minor things. I have had lots of compliments on the boots and they look good with skirts. Would buy another pair.
