I just love these boots! Although I had to return the size 8 for an 81/2. I'm normally an 8. But that's ok. They fit great in the foot. I do suggest buying a half size larger. Now, if only the calf wasn't so large. I have to wear my skinny jeans with this boot (no leggings) to try and fill the gap. I can still get away with wearing them with the gap. With all the bling on the back, people will be mesmerized while you walk away.
