Reviews had me confused as to size ordering so I ordered two, but I accidentally ordered 2 of the same size.  (duh!)  Between a 7.5 and 8, I ordered the eights.  I was sorry I didn't order the 7.5 to put an end to this dilemna.  Anyway, they are both going back.  The 8 is a bit swimmy in the heel.  I am not (yet) a wide and found the toe box is a tiny bit snug, I think the toe box would have stretched to be the perfect fit.  The zipper was a challange, but got it going.  (Don't any mfgr make this in a silver tone?)

Funny tho...when I opened up the one pair they were as expected - nice, smooth leather.  The other pair (actually fit better) was a grainy leather - looked almost croc-like from afar.  Both going back.  Do wish Amazon gave us an "ARS" (auto return ship) label optiion.  My printer is down.  I'd rather pay Amazon than be bothered with the trip to the library to print a ret label.  Oh, LOVED Sam Edelman Women's Louie Ankel Fringe Boot.  The 8 works perfectly!  Toe box fits now, no breaking in.  Love the look of the few flapping fringes that show under jeans when walking.  Cocoa is the color suade should be!  LOVE these!
