Well, these are stunning and really well-made, but they are just a bit too big in the toe box for me, which makes them awkward to walk in. I am a size 9/40 in almost all shoes, and I have a pair of sandals by this company that are a size 40 and fit great, but these just feel too big. Otherwise, they are very comfortable. A 39 would probably be too small. They also look like a cross between cowboy and combat boots, and not as french-inspired as I had hoped, although I think if the fit were right, they would look and feel less clunky. They are really gorgeous, though, so although I will sadly be returning mine, they are definitely 5-star boots!UPDATE: Okay, there is no way I am returning these! I put in an insole and with medium weight socks, the fit is great. I read online that boots are not supposed to fit the same as regular shoes and should have more room in the toes, as long as it fits correctly in the rest of the foot, which these do. The insole makes them even more comfortable. Seriously, I don't want to take these off! I am attaching a photo, but it does not do these justice. The red is subdued indoors, but in the sunlight it just glows like a really rich and luminous undertone.I've been waiting five years to but these boots, but waited for them to go on sale. They never did and I finally found them on here! Gorgeous and fit perfecty. I can only wear them for a couple hours at a time due to a bad back, but they're comfy enough for others, I'm assuming. I want more styles from this brand!!I wear a 6.5 shoe and ordered a 37 in these boots. The fit is good, I wear socks with them. I put my arch supports in them for added comfort. These boots are so beautiful and I get tons of compliments when I wear them.It is a bit of a wild boot and will definitely require the right outfit, but its very artistic and different, if you like unique then these are for you. I call them a boho gypsy style. A little stiff but hope they break in.Beautiful boots. High quality. Worth the splurge! I get compliments on them every time I wear them.These boots are beautiful! They are even prettier in person. The quality is excellent. I ordered my usual size 9 & they were too big. I returned them for an 8.5 & they fit perfectly. The style is Victorian combat boot & I think they rock! They are comfy & cute. Love them!!!Compliments every time I wear them. They are so cute and different ?This shoe (or boots) are conversation starters, stunning in design, bringing forth a visual uniqueness to your style. I can’t go anywhere without someone stopping me to ask me about these shoes. Not to mention they are extremely comfortable, by far my favorite pair of shoes.Perfect fit, great style, I get lots of compliments. Probably best purchase of the year for me
