I put fit as expected as I've never had an issue with Merrell sizing.  They did fit great once they were on and the style is very cute.  However, getting them on was a struggle I was not willing to face.  If you have tiny petite feet perhaps this is a good boot for you.  I wear a 9 in Merrell's (usually 8.5 in most other brands).  Good quality boot, but needs a zipper, imo!
