I bought I bought a similar pair of Dan Post boots at a boot shop and absolutely love them. They were a size 8 1/2, distressed pink and browns. I have walked many miles in them and gotten so many compliments. So I decided to get a dressier pair and ordered these beautiful boots on Amazon in the same size. They appeared to be the exact same boot. However! The toe on this boot is totally pointed, not nipped off like the other pair. It makes the boot look very long in the toe. or maybe it is longer. I ended up exchanging them for a size 8 and having them stretched a little. The goat leather is soft and it worked out great. The only reason they are not getting a 5 rating is because of this issue, but when you buy boots online these are the risks you take. Such great boots with skinny jeans of skirts and enough of the daring side to get noticed.
