"I’ve been on the hunt for the PERFECT black low boot to wear with my skinny jeans, leggings and casual dresses. I saw these on Gilt originally but sadly they didn’t have my size. I was obsessed and had to google search them. When I saw DSW had them online, I didn’t think twice and quickly ordered them. I agree with others that the size does run about 1/2 -1 sz bigger. So unlike me, go down a size. I normally wear a sz 6 but was surprise how loose the boots felt. With thin socks, my feet kept sliding out of them. It was fine when I used a thick insole and wear thicker socks with them. As to the reviews that said the boots are big around the ankle, that’s the STYLE of them. They're not ment to be tight fitting. Since getting them, they have been my go to shoe. Even my friends have been coveting them. True, they’re a bit of motorcycle meets rock chick, but that’s what I LOVE about them."
