text: I was so excited to try these shoes and really couldn't be more let down. I bought 1 size smaller than usual and these boots were still WAY too big. I wear an 8.5 in tennis shoes and really needed a 6.5 in these boots. The width did feel correct for me in a 7.5 though. The style is incredibly cute but the leather looks cheap...super disappointed in the quality. I would swear it is synthetic and has a weird fake shine to it like vinyl or pleather! I showed to my mother and she agreed, they just look like they are made from poor quality material. A terrible value for a $130 shoe. I'm so sad to be returning these. :(
