"I was a bit reluctant to buy these at first, primarily because I usually wear a size 7, but I like to buy 7.5 in winter boots so I can wear thicker socks comfortably. Needless to say, the only size available was a 7, but surprisingly when I tried them on they fit comfortably even with thicker socks. They did feel a little snug at first, but I've worn them for a couple of weeks now and they have gotten move comfortable as I break them in. The only reason I gave the boots 4 stars is because the ribbon falls down occasionally so the sides at the top of the boots kinda flops over, but other then that I love them and would highly recommend them!"
