I LOVE these shoes. I bought them for my first winter trip to the East Coast. So, just like the other two reviewers said, these shoes run big. I wear a 7.5, but bought a 7. With heavy winter socks, they were a perfect fit (without the socks you might want a whole size smaller). The fur lining keeps your toes warm and comfy. The heel is stylish (makes me look taller) yet practical (comfy to walk in for extended periods). Works with skinny jeans as well as tights. There is a buckle on top to tighten it a notch as well as at the ankle (I have skinny calves and ankles). Best of all, NO BREAK IN TIME! I bought these a day before my trip, and I wore it all day walking about the Washington Mall the next couple of days. Ps: Zappos service rocks! Thank you for the overnight shipping. But for you, I would be in DC, freezing my toes in flip-flops. Brrr.

I just got these for my daughter. They are great looking, but they run really big! She wears a 6, sometimes a 6½, so I ordered the 6½. They are at least a full size too big for her. They almost fit me and I usually wear an 8. So order down a full size.

Very Warm. Can't wear them here in San Diego; Bought for cold weather trips. VERY soft leather. Lined with soft, fur-like material on foot (made me want to forget socks!) Used them to walk all over NYC. Found that I had pain (pressure) at ankle along zipper, so I had to stuff a sock in there for padding.Foot was about 1/2 size or more large. I hardly ever wear an 11 and these were plenty big in that size.
