I purchased these in a 8.5 because I normally wear a 8 in boots but other reviews said they ran small so I ordered up.  I put them on and my feet were swimming.  I went to purchase a smaller size and they were out of stock.  When my size becomes available I will hopefully purchase them.  The reason I gave this a 3 star  is because I had to ship them back a receive a refund before I could exchange.  This was frustrating because I had to pay shipping both ways!

Edit June 2013:  After  purchasing a size 8.5 and returning them, I was determined to find these in my size.  The only size I could find was a size 7.5.  I decided to take the risk and order them because I didn't know when or if these would ever come in a 8.  After wearing a few times, I have stretched them out enough that they have molded to my feet.  I still cannot wear them with thick socks, but they are perfect with tights or bare feet!  I get compliments everywhere I go!  They are absolutely beautiful and I am so happy I can add them to my boots collection!!
