I was leery about purchasing these shoes originally because I was unsure of the quality.  I have to say when they arrived I was so excited!  I just loved the structure of the boot and how super light they were. I couldn't wait to just get them on my feet!  Insert the bad part...they were way small.  Like a whole size too small.  I'm a size 10 in all footwear so it was disappointing that they just didn't fit.  Unfortunately they don't offer a size 10.5 so they had to go back.  I think it's a recurring theme with Steve Madden boots as I tried the Steve Madden Women's Inspirre Boot and they too ran small.  If you are going to order the Candence I suggest getting a 1/2 size bigger than your normal shoe size.
