When I opened the box, I had a fit because they looked so small.  I thought they had sent a boot that was three sized too small - I wear a size ten.  I was just going to send them back without even trying them on.  but they were so pretty I figured I would at least try.  I was amazed that they were a perfect fit.  I don't know how they can make my size 10 'gunboats' look so small, but they do!
