"These boots were almost perfect. I loved everything about them. I am between a 9.5 and 10, so based on the reviews I went with the 9.5. They fit great on my foot. The hole at the top of the boot, however, is HUGE. My foot almost came out of it when I stepped. They would have looked ridiculous with a skirt or anything but long pants covering the top. If you have regular sized ankles, these are not the boots for you."
