These are great boots.  I thought I would be returning them for fear they would hurt my feet.  I wear a size 10 and my foot is wide. I was afraid I wouldn't bve able to get them on. I am finicky about my shoes.  I will not wear something that hurts my feet just for the sake of fashion.  I think this style is super cute and I also rode them riding and they cleaned up nicely.  I wore them to work just to test them (as I am on my feet all day doing a lot of walking) and the only problem I had was with  my little toe.  After that one day though, they broke in and they are fine!!  Love these boots I would buy another pair.  Also, they don't make my feet look big like other boots and shoes.
