They are a little bit bigger than I thought, they look shorter in the picture. But really, that matters nothing to be for these look so cool and I am so excited about them. No, the size 9 isn't for me, damn; it's a gift though for Oct 21st, and I can't wait. They look well made, sturdy, cheaper than I saw anywhere else and did I mention I love these? Wish I could wear them! This brand is good and this store kicks @ss! Thanks again.
