"I bought these shoes in an 8 1/2 because they did not have my regular size of 9. The length is perfect but the width is soooo tight. They are beautiful ankle boots and very nice leather. I have been wearing around the house to stretch out and it is working a little. They also rub on my heels and my ankle bones. I probably should send them back, but they are so cute, I am going to try to wear them."
