Had to send for a 2nd pair in a smaller size-(I'm a straight 81/2, mostly) These boots however, ran a bit big, so I ordered them in an 8 and they fit perfect. Worth the wait. I'm 5' 8 1/2" tall and the boots rolled down, come just under my knee. The leather is awesome, just soft enough. Great quality.  Great boots, love 'em. Husband loves 'em too!!
