These boots are amongst several pairs that I've ordered over the last few weeks in my search for the perfect pair of brown boots. Although I have fairly narrow feet, and I ordered a 1/2 size down (due to what I read from other reviews) I could barely get these boots on. It's not that they were too narrow - it's that there wasn't enough room in the top of the foot area on the boot. Once I was able to squeeze my foot in, the width was fine. Weird. Also - if you're looking for a high boot, this isn't for you. I'm 5'6" and these looked more like a mid-calf boot on me...not what I was looking for. Additionally, the material of these boots is more like a suede/soft leather (that will show marks), not a smooth polished leather.
