I got these boots last Christmas 2014, I absolutely love this boots. They are very comfortable, great quality! They do have a bit of a weird smell but the smells vanish once you have them out of the box. I know a lot of wedges make you trip I haven't had a problem with this at all, it almost feels like their isn't even a heel or wedge on them. I feel they run about right in size I am a 7 and that's what I got and they fit great they are a bit tight at the calf if you have a bit of a large calf, but my mom says they fit perfect for her normal sized calf. My mom loves these as well and we both got the same pair. Hope this review helps.
