Haven't worn the boots yet, just tried them on. Waiting for the fall/winter. I have always worn Anne Klein knee high boots and usually wear a size 7.5 M. I bought the same size in these boots and they seem to be a slightly narrow and probably because they are a pointy toe boot. That's why I ordered 1/2 a size up but still the 7.5 M seems to still be narrow. Seems like they will be uncomfortable for awhile after a couple of wears then believe they will stretch and then will be comfortable because all Anne Klein boots usually are. The shaft on the boot is a little big below the knee, but think that will fill in with jeans or legging I will be wearing with them. They look dressy because of the pointy toe. The buckle on the side is a dark gray almost black so it blends with the black boot and you can wear silver or gold jewelry with these boots.
