I love these boots! They are not for dress but great for running after kids and the dogs while outside! Very warm and stylish for that rustic look. I ordered a half size bigger than I usually wear because they didn't have my size but I liked them so much I figured I would try them anyway. They are a little big but thick socks work great. They are a little big around my average size calf but it doesn't bother me. Cant wait to wear them every chance I get!
