These boots are amazing. My wife, sadly, only wore them 5 times over the last year. She thought she was a size 8 but yurns out she is more of an 8.5. She figured they’d stretch and break in a little more after a few more wears but we discovered that in heeled cowboy boots she is definitely an 8.5. She is sad to let these boots go bc they look amazing and she always got compliments on these shoes the handful of times she wore them but alas they were just not meant for her.
