They are true to size, I always wear a 9 1/2 and the 9.5 fit perfectly. Someone said they were tough to get on. It was a little tough sliding them on, but if it wasn't your foot would come sliding right out of the boot. They were secure. I walked around the city all day today, wandering up and down brick roads and while they are not the most comfortable, they really weren't bad. People saying they aren't comfortable shouldn't be so surprised, we're paying $36. I have the tan boots and they are stinking CUTE. They aren't real leather but the rubber soles are GREAT traction. I live in the midwest and it's always icy outside, I'm usually restricted to flats and snow boots in the winter months, but these do the trick nicely. They aren't the warmest shoes, but I'm dealing with below freezing temperatures. For the money and as cute at these are I LOVE them, highly recommend.
