I read all the reviews and after receiving these I was shocked that people thought these run true to size. I'm pretty much always a size 8, no matter what the maker of the shoe, so I ordered these in an 8. Well, I'd say they ran a full size if not a size and a half too large! exchanged them for a 7, and now i'm happy. These are beautiful boots and the leather is soft as butter. So glad I snatched them up during black friday!
