I love this boot. I initially bought it in a size 9 which is my regular size but it ended up being too big. My foot was moving around too much. I have narrow feet so this might be why. I ended up exchanging it for a size 8.5 and it fits perfectly.  I wear them with thin socks and they are extremely comfortable and stylish. I have worn them with dresses and skirts and I loved the taupe color so much that I recently bought the chocolate as well.
