So, I completely fell in love with these boots when I saw them online.  I was afraid the silver might be too bright, but I was happy to see that it wasn't.  It's a very lovely gray color, definitely very wearable.

I listened to the reviews, and ordered half a size less, and even though the first time I tried them they were a little tight, when I went back for a second time, the shoe felt so much better.  Unfortunately, I have wide calves, and this boot isn't wide enough for me.  I was considering getting them adjusted (if you have a good cobbler, you will be shocked what can be done with a leather shoe), but the ankle area was very loose.  I didn't like how that looked in the mirror.  Looking at the picture, it does look like the ankle is a little baggy, and I wish i had paid a little more attention to that.

Anyhow, other than that, these are very cute boots.  I only tried them on in the house, but I think they very comfortable.
