I love these boots! I ordered down a half size based on reading other reviews but since they didn't come in 5 1/2 they are still a little loose-- which is fine since I can wear thicker socks and still have plenty of room. My feet are somewhat wide in the toe area and they still are roomy! They are comfortable and definitely the cutest colors. I wore them for a bit of walking the day I received them and they were comfortable enough on my feet and also with my bad back-- didn't exacerbate issues at all. So nice to have leather and they breathe so well in the heat. These will definitely get noticed! They shipped out of the Dan Post address-- those who look around will notice that the parent company's boots tend to be more expensive but similar in construction. I am very pleased with these boots and would recommend them to others.
