Having to return. Run small. I’m usually a 9-91/2 In shoes/tennis shoes. Boots typically run bigger( but not the case) :(Pleasantly surprised!! I have tried many Bed Stu with no luck. These are more narrow most that I have tried. They were incredibly stiff the first couple wearings and had moderate heel slipping, but I am no quitter & was determined to make these work.For reference my normal size in FRYE boots is 7 1/2, and is my general go to brand on boots.After reading reviews at a variety of different sites I decided to try this boot in a size 8. Many said this boot ran narrow which was music to my feet.I did get these for an amazing deal through Amazon Warehouse, but found absolutely nothing wrong with them. I feel like I found a new place to shop.I really wanted to love these but they just were not for me. The 7.5 that I ordered looked great but were a little too small. I ordered size 8 thinking that would work but unfortunately it didn't. The 8's were much lighter and had a strange looking spot in them that just didn't look right to me. I know they are distressed but this was one spot and it really looked out of place. I'm also not sure how the color can be so different when they are the "same" color? A little variation I can understand but they were drastically different. The boots run a little small compared to my other Bed Stu's as well. Not what I was expecting for such expensive boots. I will attach pictures as well.Fit is true to size.. Shipping time very good, packaging very good as well. Haven’t had much cool weather to use them here in NC, so, I can’t give an opinion about walking outside for any period of time to really test them out .My hunch is that they will pass quite well. I love the style of these booties. I had spent quite some time researching before I finally settled on these, and I am glad I did. Others reviews got me to Frye and these. Becca’s won, mainly because the leather was more pliable and softer from the get-go. Hope this helps.I purchased these in the black, which are more like brownish/black, which is perfectly ok with me because it has a rustic look to it and it makes them more versatile. I listened to the other reviewers that said they run small, so I purchased a half a size up and they were too big on me. I exchanged them for my normal size 6 1/2 and they fit much better. They felt a little tight in the toe area at first but as I wore them they stretched out. They are well made great quality leather that you can smell as soon as you open the box. I'm very happy with my purchase. Bed Stu is one of my favorite brands. I can see these lasting a long time.Love this shoe and the scarlet color is fab but they run small!!! They no linger have a size 8 in this color, boooo! I will have to return and continue my srarchThe shoe fits nicely. I order a half size bigger and probably could've gone with my regular size. The shoe fits loose in my opinion, but I still give it 5 stars as it fits comfortably, just not a snug fit.Even more gorgeous in hand! If you want to wear socks, order a size bigger - these fit like a glove but only with tights or trouser socks. They are beautifully styled, softest leather, rich color.... I am in love! Worth every penny.
