I just got my boots today and I love them!!!  I originally ordered my normal size (7) but cancelled and reordered a half size smaller after reading reviews.  I am so glad I did.  They are just snug enough in the foot and the shafts actually fit my calves.  I have had a hard time finding a pair of boots that weren't 2-3 inches big at the top of the boot.  I can tell these are going to be my go-to boots.  :)
