Boots stand out and look contemporary retro. Nice colors. Great size of heel. Runs small. Lengthwise 8,5 fits well for my ordinary 8 size feet. Left boot (my left foot is a little bigger) was tied in a step, I am not sure I would be able to break it. The biggest problem was the arch area. My feet are medium width with no arch whatsoever, nevertheless, I was not able to tie sides closely. There was  a gap about 1,5 inches between sides on the left boot and about half of it on the right one. Size 9 could work, but it was way more expensive. Return.
