These boots are such great quality and value. The contrast between the tan sole and black leather make them such a versatile staple in my wardrobe! I ordered my regular 7.5 and they are slightly tight and maybe a tad bit narrow, I could've sized up. That said, I wore without thinking of any discomfort or "breaking in." They have been easy to wear. I also loved the handwritten note and personal touch that came with my order. Thanks, La Belle Boutique!
