"I'm a true 8, but the 8 was too big, so I ordered a 7.5. Although the 7.5 fit much better, my heel kept slipping out when I walked. I think it was due to the fact that the back of the boot is fabric, only the front is leather. It is a beautiful boot with the gold zipper and accent. I so wanted it to fit perfect but it didn't and I returned it."
