10/23/11:Logo shoes

Definitely order a size down. I normally wear an 8.5 (US size) and I ordered a 7-7.5 and the shoes fit perfectly. Other reviews that I read stated that wearers felt the leather thong piece between the toes was uncomfortable and stiff- but I had no such difficulty. The shoes were comfortable from the first time I put them on; the more I wear them the more comfortable they get.

Defective? This boot has a great heel height. However, the innersole is not cushiony so one may need to buy them to insert. I am not sure if the right side boot is defective or not, however, it appears that the zipper is not sewn 100% straight. This has resulted in puckering whereby that part of the zipper plus the leather material hits the inner calf making it quite uncomfortable. The left side is very comfortable though.
