text: i loved these - ordered them in both black and ginger. however, the ankle shaft opening is way too small for me, and i fit a 10-inch circumference in booties just fine.  these are adorable, but had to send them back because the rubbing against my ankles -- even with socks - proved to be too much.  i ordered both in size 10 (I am usually a 9.5 in everything and tend to get a 10 in boots except for Clarks boots and pumps, where i order a 9.5 or sometimes a 9), and I also found the 10s to be a tad too big.  These are really true to size I would say.
