Just a bit tight across the top. I am a 7 1/2 - bought the 8 and they are small but doable. So well made and great style!

Not for walking. The lug sole pulls the boot down, making them move too much and causing blisters.

Beautiful boot but run real small, i have to return. I'm thinking sizing two sizes up. I'm regularly am 8.5/9, ordered a 39, too small.

Absolutely loved this look of this boot, but it is too small. I ordered a full size up per others reviews, but I believe sizing is off. I wear a size 10 / 41 EU. This boot says 41 is an 11. I trusted it, but I believe it fit like a true 41 / 10. Hoping to find it in a 42.

Top of the foot was more narrow in depth and width so not comfortable at all. Love the look ; just didnt work for my wide feet.

Shoes felt fine. True to size fit. They are a darker white...more of a bone white or almost tan in color, which is why I'm returning. Also, the platform fit just isn't for me.

These are beautiful boots, but the sizing was problematic so I ended up returning them (which I'm sad about). I'm normally an 8.5-9. The 9 were much to tight and short, and the 10 were too large--my heels were slipping up too much and I was afraid they'd cause blisters. I wish the sizing was better, as the cream color is amazing, the style is generally comfortable, and the boots look terrific with black clothing.

Heavy and narrow. Got my usual size 38 and feels okay with thin socks. I like the narrow shaft but people with wide feet may have issues with this.
These will be good for outings that don't involve much walking or standing.
They do look great, though! I will be keeping them.

Difficult to get these shoes on. They also rubbed on my heals horribly. I returned them and am looking for something more practical

These seem really nicely made, but they were too inflexible at the ball of my feet and were pretty uncomfortable.

I love the look of this boot, but it was too tight across the top of my foot toward my toes (right where my big toe joint meets the rest of the foot.) Made it uncomfortable to walk. I have narrow heels and ankles too! If I went up another 1/2 size, then they would be too long. So I have to return them.

Normally I wear an 8, and based on reviews I ordered a 9. STILL way too small.

I ordered the patent leather finish. On both boots, the gloss finish was spotty, streaked, and noticeably uneven.

I am usually a size 7 and got a 7 but they are way too small. The ankle part is super slender and stiff (and I have thick ankles as it is). The leather feels nice, and will probably take a few times to wear it in. The sole/platform of the shoe feels high quality, and the boot itself looks cool as heck. I am going to exchange for a size up and hope it fits.

Disappointed! Love the look but the inside feels like cardboard and they are very narrow through the top of the foot.

This is a beautiful shoe that is narrow at the ankle and tight by half size.

I couldn't get my foot into these. the sides are quite stiff, and although they may stretch over time, I don't want the time investment. They are lovely overall, just couldn't get them on.

I wanted to love these , but I had to return. They were too large for me - I am most usually a size 5.5 so ordered a 6 as suggested, but lately it seems shoes are running even larger than normal for me! There is no arch support, and yes-they are a little hard to get on even as they were big otherwise. The quality does seems quite good and a big plus that the uppers are real leather.

I have wide feet so I always go a half size up on boots that don’t offer wide width. These felt narrow at the shaft. Tight at the heel. Spacious in front. I’d get at least a half size up or a full size for wide feet. I’m just gonna return and look for something different.

Very cool but narrow and hard to get on- the pull tape isn't large enough to get your finger through

I love these boots, but unfortunately the wedge portion of the boot split near the front toe after less than a year of wear. I don't wear them all that often, maybe a few times a week, so I was really disappointed by the lack of quality.

The right shoe felt smaller and more narrow than the left shoe.
