For 20 bucks they are great. Sizes do run big. I wear 81/2, got an 8 because of reviews and definately wear big socks to fill them out. Dont pull too hard when putting them on, the "slouchy" seams easily pull out. The first time I put them on I could hear them tearing. I debated on returning them but you couldn't really tell and I needed grey boots for an outfit riht then. Very comfortable. I have super thin calves and the calf of the boot was pretty big around me but I added a leg warmer and it looked great. I like them but in the future would probably just spend the extra money for a pair from payless.
