I love the look of the boot but after reading other reviews that suggested getting a half size larger, I did just that.  I could have gotten a whole size smaller than my regular shoe size.  They run LARGE.  I kept the boots because it is too much of a hassle to return them.  I have to wear two pairs of socks and I have stuffed the toes with tissue to keep my feet from sliding around in them.  The calf part is a little on the large size also.  Other than that...I think they are cute and with all of my homemade remedies, they will work.
