"I don't buy boots very often, so I wasn't sure how the fit was going to be! I don't live near a DSW, so via mail is best! I received my order right on time and was anxious to try on my new boots! I put on socks and tried on the boots...they fit perfectly! No pinching, no places that were rubbing, no heel sliding, and the heel height was perfect for wearing with jeans or a longer skirt!"
