Ordered this in a 9 and it was way to be big. Exchanged for the 81/2 and almost could have gone to an 8, except for my wide feet. The toe turns up a little which I'm not crazy about, but the boot is very comfortable and well made. The more I wear the more I like. Fits snug to my leg, which is an average leg size. I think they look great. Not too clunky or motorcycle, but not dressy either. They have broken in nicely. One boot did fold into my ankle at first, so i folded a small sock and layed it against my ankle for the first few times I wore them. Definitely recommend.
