"These leopard booties are gorgeous. You will definitely make a wild statement anytime you rock them out in public!! They are well constructed, with arch padding in the footbed (which may feel strange at first) . The lower heel is comfortable. The ankle opening size is generous, they don't cut into my legs . Here's the caveat. These boots run SMALL. I ordered my size, 8.5, and they are tight and short in the toe box. I'm not miserable in them, but I was surprised. Only very thin socks or tights, if any, will work for me. Order a half size bigger!!! I'm keeping these beautiful booties. I hope they stretch out some with time."
