text: Since last year I've wanted this boot and this year I decided I couldn't pass-up the price. Ordered the 40, which usually works fine. When they finally arrived and I tried to put them on, I could barely get my foot in the boot, as they are VERY narrow. I wasn't willing to return them as yet and held the hope that perhaps my feet may have been swollen (I live in Arizona and it gets miserably hot). In the end, I realized they are just a narrow boot. Someone with a narrower foot would probably love these boots, as they are gorgeous and well-made. :(
