"These boots are even more beautiful in person that online. I saw them online and new I had to have them so I tried them on in stores - I fluctuate between an 8.5 and a 9 and in these boots I definitely needed the 8.5.
I haven't had a chance to wear them yet (I live in TX) but I will be in Chicago next week so I will see how they stand up in the cold and snow!"
