I wear a size 7, but after reading all the reviews I ordered one size up to an 8. I'm glad I did, as this fits perfectly. The leather is very stiff, as many others commented on, but I think that will soften up in time. I love the styling- they will look great with skinny jeans or skirts and tights. Bring on the Buffalo winter! In these boots I'll be ready for the cold, snow and ice!
