It runs fairly narrow. I have an average to wide foot, but out of all of my shoes maybe one or two pairs are actually wide. I usually do fine in regular sizing. These, however, were REALLY tight and because they are so structured, I don't think they will ever "break in" enough for me. The color is also darker in person. My monitor shows a rusty/cognac/chestnut color for the dainty option. In person they are predominently brown with a slight rust tint. The boot is well made and beautiful, but if you have a foot that is on the wider side of average, I would pass. Mine are going back.
