text: I'm pretty bummed with these shoes.. they look really cute when you open the box, but the fit is weird. They DO run a bit large/wide. I have feet that on on the wider side and I wear a 9.5 in 80%+ of my shoes and I felt like I could have worn a 9 in these. The big problem is the shape of the top/front of the boot. It curves in toward your ankle. I have thin ankles and feet and I feel like these make that area look fat. If there was just the tiniest bit of a concave curve to the top of the boot it would make a huge difference. They feel like they'd be very comfortable, but I am sending them back.
