As other reviewers stated these boots run small, order up a whole size.  Nice boot but I did return it.  I only went up a half size which left no room for socks and my toes felt like that were almost touching.  This is not a boot for anyone with large calves, I have skinny calves and barely had room for jeans, not complaining as that's usually the opposite problem for me.  Also, the front of the boot at the ankle and strap dug into me when I walked, saw that too as getting worse over time.  The liner was a deciding factor as well, it left fuzz all over which would be horrible with tights in the winter.  Thick leather, stiff, most likely loosen up over time but I want full comfort out of the box.  Good boot just not right for me.
