They are long and narrow for 8.5, my usual size. They were out of other sizes and I really love the look of them so I wear them with thick socks. I'm hoping the leather stretches out a bit so they aren't so narrow.

Love these boots. It's so easy to dress them up or down. I wear them with dresses or throw them on with jeans. They also do the job of keeping me warm. Only reason I didn't give a full 5 is because they are a little snug and narrow. After reading reviews I went up half a size and that helped. However, I'm still not able to wear super thick socks with them. I'm hoping once they're fully broken in that won't be a problem anymore. Either way so happy with this purchase, that I'm even thinking about getting them in the different colors.

Loved these, but they were very narrow. I wear an 8 or 8.5, and I ordered the 8.5, but the boots were still too narrow and not at all comfortable.

I had high hopes for this but it is a bit rigid and that made for an awkward fit. I am hopeful that after wearing a few times that things loosen up and my feet feel more at "home." A boot like this should feel good from the get go in my opinion. Love the look of it but not so sure about the fit.

True to the other comments these do run narrow. That being said, I don't want to take them off. They're show-stoppers. I've worn them in the city, on trails...they're quite versatile.

These boots are awesome. They look cool, they feel solid. Stylish but look like they can get the job done. Unfortunately, the toe box area is too narrow and is uncomfortable to wear. Bummer! I was so excited about these! I sized up from my usual 7.5 to an 8 hoping that would mitigate the narrowness. No luck.

The look of these boots is awesome. I received two separate compliments from strangers the first weekend I wore them out. They are fairly comfortable, but I had to go up a full size and there isn't much arch support. I'm usually a 6.5 or 7 and had to get size 8 to give my feet enough room to comfortably slide in the boot. Like others had mentioned, these are very narrow boots, which is weird because many people wear thicker and warmer socks with boots, so a little extra room is desired. My feet slide around just slightly after sizing up one full size, but it's worth it to me. I walked around for multiple hours in these boots the first day I was breaking them in and got a small blister, but I think over time these will form well to my feet. The cool style of these boots outweighs the sizing issues for me!

Very tight but I thought they would be fine once broken in. Decided to wear them out and got the worst blisters. I wished I had ordered a half size up but it was too late to return. But!! I have a solution.. I had a baseball and a tennis ball. I shoved the tennis ball in to widen the foot part, and I put the baseball in the heel to widen the heel. I alternated the balls between the boots back and forth over a few days, then did a test-wear and they were a lot better. I repeated all the steps and the next time I wore them they fit great! No more blisters, stretched to perfection. I recommend this technique for anyone who can't return them but found them to be way too tight! They are beautiful boots, very cool style.

After ordering several similar styles to this boot, these were the ones I decided to keep. Comfy, waterproof, stylish. My only complaint is I wish they had a bit more arch support, as my feet feel like they’re slightly pronating in these. Ordered my usual size and ended up going down 1/2 a size as they ran big.

Usually a 7.5, I bought an 8 to accommodate for the narrowness. Still is a bit tight, but stylish enough that I'll keep them and hope they break in

Ordered my usual size 7.5 which fit was true. Wide enough in the toe area for my toes that usually require a little extra room. The heel has a slight slip for me but the design of the boot compensates for that. High quality materials. Love the stylish look. The tread looks like it can handle ice and snow conditions which I look forward to testing as winter progresses.

I'm always a 5.5 or 6 and ordered one of each for sizing. They're both pretty narrow, and while the 6 fits better in width (snug in the toes but not painful), I get some heel lift because of the length. The 5.5 are tight in the toes, but perfect in length, so I'm going to keep the 5.5 and hope they break in! I don't have a particularly narrow foot.

The boot is very sturdy and durable. My issue with it is that the boot is quite narrow and the silhouette of the ankle is a bit too wide for my liking (that does make it easy to slip your foot in and out of though). I'm being picky though. Those small things aside, I like them and I very frequently get complimented on them. I have the ones with the red soles and people just love them!

They run very narrow- thee tries and I needed a full size up. Absolutely worth it! If they fixed this they would be perfect! You can walk 5+ miles in them and wide heel base keeps you safe from turning you ankle on uneven pine cone strewn pavement or hiking trails. They are so sharp looking and I just hope I done wear them out too fast. I am a dog walker and rowing coach.

I love this boot, the looks, the style, etc. Only drawback is how narrow it fits through the toe area like others have mentioned. I don't think going a size bigger would help. I kept the boot and am hoping that it stretches a bit.

the red soles are stunning, the leather and elastic are so easy to pull on and off .. but my only complaint is that they're a bit too narrow, even though i bought one size larger for wool socks. i know they'll soften over time, but pinky toe pain can be hard. otherwise, i'm thrilled

These boots are perfect if you have a narrow, long foot, haven’t had a chance to take them out but I love the look and think they’re pretty comfortable - a little heavy.

Too narrow in the toebox and too wide in the heel. Beautiful boot, looked well made. But unfortunately didn’t fit my feet. Returned.

I’m usually an 8, but ordered an 8.5 hoping to be able to wear thick socks with these. Unfortunately they were just a tad bit too narrow. I don’t have a wide width foot, but my toe box runs on the wider side. I felt like these were snug in the width, and a bit long in the length, so they went back. Really fantastic style though, and seems like they would be supportive!

Love the look of the boots, but they seem to run a bit small. Will be exchanging for a larger size.

These are so cute. I couldn't wait to buy them. I received them and they are so narrow, I could hardly walk in them. I am so bummed and sad about returning. They look great.

The fit was ok, ankle width was tight and stiff. The whole boot was very stiff and difficult to walk in. I work on my feet all day and would be uncomfortable.
