I love these boots! They're comfortable and really stylish. The heel is high enough to be current and solid enough to be really stable. I love the worn leather look of the brown oily leather version that I purchased. I usually wear a size 6.5, and order a 7.0 in boots and tennis shoes to allow for heavier socks and a little more wiggle room. After reading the reviews, I decided to go up to a 7.5 in these because many reviewers mentioned that they run small. That worked perfectly for me. The sizing is just right with a winter-weight sock. I've purchased a number of Clarks products and have always found them to run on the slightly-large side. So thank you to previous reviewers whose cautionary statements helped me get this order right.
