I was deciding whether or not I should get these boots because I didn't want to deal with the hassle with returns after hearing from other people that they ran small, and some said they fit fine...etc. Its a pain to do return/exchanges online especially with extra shipping charges. But this looked like a very cute, casual sexy boot and thought they would look great with leggings/skinnies. Since I am pretty thin, narrow feet with small calves and the price is so cheap~ I decided to take the risk of getting my true size 7.5. I was afraid if i had to size up, that size 8 would sell out.  I was pretty anxious waiting to receive them.  When I finally got these, I slipped them right on barefoot without a problem and there were still some room left for socks. I also had about 1 1/2" left around the calf area for skinny jeans.  So I am very glad I went against the reviews and stuck to my true size without sizing up.  I got the rust color and they are very nice - well made. Made in Mexico.... I am very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend these to girls with barely any calves and narrow feet.  I agree if you have med-large calves you may need to size up due to no zipper and the narrowness of the boot.  Nice color~  I love them!! Yay!
