These are beautiful boots and I was delighted to receive them on time. Unfortunately, they run about a size and a half too small. This is genuine leather, so I'm sure that the leather will loosen after you "break them in" but they are too tight to endure that.  I ordered a size 12, but because my feet are large, I would suggest that anyone with large feet order up a size if possible. Keep in mind that this may only be true for people with large feet.
