I had read the previous reviews, so I merely ordered two sizes up. They look big, and I probably would have been fine with a size and a half up, but who cares? These boots are made of natural suede, with Australian sheepskin lining that keep your feet snug as a bug in a rug. Plus they are really fashionable and look awesome with skinny jeans or anything else. I cannot imagine finding boots of this caliber any cheaper, as at $40 it is more than a steal! Additionally, Amazon was as usual prompt with shipment! Thanks!
