I had been looking for these boots on every website and no one had them in my size, which I thought was a 9 1/2. I tried the 9 1/2 on and they were huge. I exchanged them (not super thrilled about the $25 return shipping) for the size 9 and they fit perfect. Snug where they are supposed to be and a little slip in the heel like they are supposed to. I love the look of the boots. Looks like I've had them for years. They feel comfortable, although I have only walked around my house with them. They are exactly what I was looking for: short cowgirl boots that look cool with jeans, dresses, shorts, etc. and these will fit the bill. So happy Circle B had my size. Nothing more annoying than shopping and finding something you like, only to click on the sizes available and they only have a size 6. Can't wait to wear them on jean day at work!!
