The black leather with the brown sole looks great, the ankle stretches too which made it easy to slip on, but the sizing is way off. Most of the reviews said they ran about a half size too big, so I accounted for that when I ordered. When I opened the box they looked enormous, they were marked 7.5 (I typically wear an 8 in boots with socks) and they weren’t even close to fitting. A lot of the sizes were sold out so I couldn’t exchange, but I would recommend sizing a whole size down.Boots are very cute and comfortable! I played around with several sizes but ultimately had to order a half size down. Not the best made boots as I've received several pairs with the fabric bubbling, glue showing, etc. I keep receiving damaged, unboxed boots that have pink pen drawn all over and spots that seem to have makeup rubbed into them. Hoping I will be able to get my preferred size free of defects!I only reason I kept these at the 10 I ordered instead of returning/exchanging is that they didn't have a 9.5 available. Other than that I typically can wear a 10 comfortably but these seemed too large for me this time. Most times a tish of space doesn't hurt in boots but these are noticeably sized big. Ladies you will love the quality of these boots but to be 100% happy order a 1/2 size down!These are super cute but the reviews are correct and I’m glad I read them prior to purchasing.I don't need the platform's hight - just LOVE the feel of it. Especially with these boots that are optimal for everyday walking and even dancing.Been using them all week and my feet are fine. No 'New Shoes' soares. Didn't even need an adjustment period of 'backing them down'.They feel wonderful and match almost every type of outfit and occasion. The look is stylish and well designed.Absolutely fabulous! Highly recommended!I'm 1.8 M and about 90 K with 10.5 US.*Returning for 1/2 smaller.I have a high instep & it is an effort to put on.. but hopefully will get better after breaking in period. Has a rather roomy tie box. Good quality- love the packaging. Reminds me of some favorite boots from late 90’s/early 2000’s!(I’m normally a size 7 & ordered a 7 -runs big)*I really hope I didn’t accidentally send back 2 pair of earrings with my return! :-)Love these boots, they’re great for fall. I normally wear a 7.5 in western boots, 7 in running shoes, and 7.5 in sandals. I bought a 6.5 and it fit great. The top edge of the boot rubs a little bit above the ankle, taller socks fixed the issue. Overall, I love them! Super cute!They are really cool boots. So comfortable to wear all day. I would recommend you to buy them a half size smaller since they do run a little big.
