Beautiful shoe, I usually wear an 8 sometimes  8.5 so I ordered the larger of the two, unfortunately it is to small. I will be returning and getting a 9. Had a friend with an Amazon account order me a size 9 since it would be quicker and I just was in such a hurry to get these boots. The nine was way to small and the leather was tough so again I sent them back and went with a 10, oh my goodness.......way to big!!!! The leather was buttery soft though, what to do??? Try a 9.5 or just give up
