I received my boots within about 3 days and before the expected date however I found out the hard way that they run VERY big. I am normally between 7.5-8 depending on brand. I ordered a 7.5 and it left MUCH wiggle room. I couldn't possibly wear them. The feet and calves are very loose. If the calves weren't loose I'd probably try to wear them with thick socks but they look ridiculous on me since I'm so short and small. I wish they fit because they are cute but rather than deal with a return hassle, I learned the hard way not to order shoes online and will give them away.<br />Definitely order a size smaller than you normally would.
