LOQ Lazaro boots in patent black 40/ US 8

LOQ Lazaro boots in patent black 🙌🏼 These boots are beautiful and amazing but fit way too small. I sized up as recommended but as a true 9, these are too small to comfortably wear. I think they would fit an 8/8.5 best. Better for narrow feet. Although these have been worn only a few times, because they’re patent they show any wear immediately. See photos for marks/scratches. On inside heels only so not noticeable when worn.
