Funny thing - I had a pair of boots just like these when I was a teenager, but they were just cheap plastic. I wore them to shreds and assumed I'd never find another pair like them, so I was absolutely delighted to find these boots! They're comfortable enough to wear right out of the box and they're SO beautiful and well-made. Mine are in a size 11 and they fit very nicely - perhaps a little narrow for my admittedly wide feet, but still more than comfortable enough to run errands in. They're very sturdy and well-balanced and the heel never gives me any trouble.
Two small notes, if you're eyeing these up: One, the leather soles are VERY slippery on wet stone walkways. They're fine on rougher surfaces like cement, but if you live in an area with cobbles/flagstones/brick walkways, I strongly recommend getting those stick-on ridged half-soles so that your feet don't go out from under you. And two, the laces are quite fiddly. I love the aesthetic of lace-up boots with no side zip, but it does mean that they take some time and effort to get in and out of.
