I’m very happy with my purchase. The boots are attractive: Practical & stylish. I normally wear size 7.5-8 but I followed advice to size up. I purchased an 8.5 which fits just right. So I too would recommend ordering a half size up. I like that the toe area is slightly wide as opposed to a narrow taper with western style boots. Even though I have a narrow foot, it feels fitted with the cushioning inner fabric and a normal tall sock which the company sent a complimentary pair of tall socks- thanks! I wore the boots right out of the box for a full farm work day and had no problem with soreness. They broke in fast! They gripped natural & man-made surfaces well and proved to be breathable at the end of the day. Today is approximately a week of daily wear and they feel like I’ve had them for much longer because they’ve formed to my foot so well. I appreciate the big finger loop to pull them on. And as I said, they’re stylish so I can still look cute and I like that! 😀
