I love these boots!  I wear them almost everyday!!  I ordered half a size up and don't regret it.  I have skinny little thighs, but I tuck my pant legs in like the cool kids ;) so I appreciate that they have some room.  And when I wear them with a skirt, they look fine with my chicken legs.  I wanted riding boots for the look, but with a little edge and these are honestly kind of a perfect mix, with a hint of--dare I say, cowgirl charm?  Absolutely one of the coolest pairs of boots that I own.  Worth every penny.  They transform whatever I wear them with.  An old rancher today asked me if I rode horses, pointing at my boots with excitement and a few weeks ago a girl at a tattoo shop told me that the boots were "incredibly cool".  Quite the spectrum, I'll say!
