I am crazy in love with these boots.  I was a little sick about paying more than $300 for boots but now I know why.  I generally wear a 7.5 in shoes and 8 in boots and that is definitely the case here.  I tried the 7.5 and couldn't get my foot past he ankle.  The first day was a little painful but I've had them on for three days since then and don't want to take them off.  I don't have a wide foot per se (I buy all medium widths) but do have a fairly flat foot.  I can't recommend them enough.
