This bootie runs a half size small. I took the other reviewers advice and ordered a half size up-perfect! These booties are amazing comfortable, the arch of the insole is built up and gives terrific support. I love the look. They have a slightly edgy, European look to them. It is very rare to find such an extremely comfortable shoe that looks so fashionable. I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

These are so cute and comfortable! I ordered my usual 8.5, but it was too tight in the length. The width was fine. I re-ordered in the 9 and they fit great. Definitely a half size too small, so order up, especially if you intend to wear with socks.

These are my favorite shoes of all time! They are super-cute and holy cow are they comfortable -- like wear all day while traveling through airports with a toddler comfortable. I have worn them while traveling, working, on dates, chasing my toddler, with dresses, pants, leggings ... I don't know if there is anything they can't go with or any situation where they will not be the absolutely most comfortable option you could have. My foot is wide in the toes and narrow in the heel, which is no problem with these. I got them in the grey, which looks way, way better in person. The one caveat here is Gentle Souls as a brand have such supple, soft leather that it will stretch a bit with wear. Their shoes and boots tend to fit snug at first, but as long as the length is good, you don't really have to worry too much because they will basically stretch and mold to your foot exactly. You can't go wrong here. It's worth the money.

I normally wear an 8.5, but based on other comments and the fact that I will wear these with socks I ordered a 9. The 8.5 probably would have been fine since the 9 is a little big even with socks. These boots are comfortable from day 1 and the color is a nice neutral.

Oh my, these are comfortable. Softest, best-comfort shoe ever. Sadly, they make my small, narrow foot look like a huge clod. I would try this brand again, but not in this big-toed clod styled boot. Looks good on the web, not on the foot. Nice soft suede too.

This is a great shoe if you want to look nice, but take a break from a high heel. They are adorable! I have gotten compliments every time I have worn them. They are comfortable for most of the day, but was ready to take them off when I got home. I ordered the size I always wear in a boot and they fit perfect.

It is my birthday, no, it is Christmas and Santa came early! No matter, I would wear these ankle boots to bed if I could. For me, they run true to size, the plush lining is like a walking on clouds effect. Looking down at your feet, how did they ever get so cute and small? Outfits to wear with? Just about everything! They are well worth the investment. I coveted them for a long, long time. Be happy with (finally!) a shoe investment that will make you smile, perpetually.

I adore these shoes. They are so comfortable without being frumpy. This pair (and the grey ones I ordered later) were my go to shoes all winter. They are not too summery - but buy them now and pull them out in the fall - you will be so glad you did! I ordered my regular size and they fit just fine.

These are lightweight, so comfortable like flip-flops! The suede is great, but will be sensitive to snow that is for sure! It would be nice to have them with a gold zipper for more style.

Absolutely beautiful, but they run almost a full size too small. No way I can wear these. I am consistently a 7.5, which I ordered. I could barely get my foot into them. But I could tell they would have been comfortable. Too bad these seem to be out of stock. It's such a unique style and it's hard to find wedge ankle boots in a light color. Please bring these back in light colors for next season! Also, I thought the style is very sleek and tapered, not clunky like another reviewer said.

True to size & made my foot look super small which is a plus for my size 9! So comfy could walk in them all day. Also didn't have to worry about the suede staining. Sprayed them with a sealer & walked in the rain with no problems!

These shoes are amazing! I wore them for the first time to a party and was on my feet for at least 6 hrs.
So comfortable and had lots of compliments on them.

I love these shoes! I watched the video, read the reviews, and they were correct! These shoes are so, so comfy, cute, they look good with wide leg pants, narrow pants, and skirts. I just love Zappos! The color true, size true everything. The price is high but soooo worth it. Zappos makes shopping for shoes easy, fun like everyday is your birthday!

These boots are really nice--stylish, comfortable, and versatile. They didn't need any breaking in either. The heel is a little bit higher than I usually wear, hence the 4 stars rather than 5 for comfort.

Ordered these in my usual size (8.5). The first pair arrived with one shoe much tighter than the other. I like them so much that I tired for a second pair and they fit fine. These are really too cute. I believe the first pair I received had a defect. I called Zappos and they had another pair delivered the next day. Love the service.

These are very cute and comfortable shoes. The only disappointment is its color, not a neutral tone of gray rather a very greenish shade of gray.

I really, really wanted to love these. The color is great. They are well made. And they are uber comfortable! The problem is I was wanting booties that I could wear to work with pants or skirts and they seemed a little too clunky/casual for skirts. Oh well. But, if I am ever looking for a casual pair of booties to throw on for the weekend I would definitely buy these again.

Very nice shoes. The suede is muy soft and the fit seems true. (I have medium-width feet and they didn't feel too narrow.) They're comfortable too, as long as you're comfortable walking in heels. I had to wear them the first time for a long travel day -- the shoes themselves were great. My feet weren't fully used to walking all day in heels.

Nice boot but the grey kid suede has a greenish cast to it and too green to go with any of my grey clothes.

I am a very reliable size 7.5B or smaller. These a great booties but they run at least a 1/2 size small! So I had to return them and unfortunately they don't have a size 8 available! I loved them and I'm so disappointed that they don't have a size I can wear!

Gentle Souls gladiator sandals size 8 fit perfectly. Ordered these boots in Size 8 and they are at least 1 1/2 sizes too small. Sadly they are sold out so I am out of luck. They are lovely.

The material is really cheap. The second time I wore them I stubbed my toe on a stair and they were torn. The material was more like paper definitely not leather not even cheap leather. I usually love Gentle Souls but these were made with bad material.
