I bought these boots in size 8 from a vintage shop. I normally wear an 8 or 8.5, and these boots are just a little bit too small on my slightly-larger right foot. I wish I'd found an 8.5 pair instead.

I also find that the shaft of the boot isn't wide enough for my calves. I don't have super huge calves, but they're probably above-average, and the boot shaft gets all slouchy because it is a bit too small for my calves.

I initially found it really difficult to get the boots on, so I rubbed a bunch of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam onto them, especially the problem areas, and then rolled up a couple of thick paperback textbooks and stuffed one into each boot. After leaving the books inside the boots for a few days, the boots had stretched enough that I'm now able to wear them comfortably.

They're great-looking boots made of high-quality leather. I highly recommend them, so long as you aren't bothered by needing to see your cobbler or do some extra stretching at home to get them to fit right.
