Got the boots, put them on with thin socks and I will admit, they need a bit of wearing before the real comfort sets in. I have wide feet and ordered the 7.5M. The entire boot is a bit narrow, but I always find with wide width shoes they stretch too much over time so I didn't want to go that route.This is the first day I've actually worn them out of the house and they were pretty stiff this morning around 7am when I got dressed, but it's noon now and after wondering around work all morning they've already become cloud comfy! Just give them a few minutes! I feel like I'm wearing sneakers and I love them so much already, I ordered another black pair and a brown pair. They also look very nice, I like the matte type of finish. The pair I received do not have that funny smell others are reporting. I'm very pleased with the purchase, I think this pair and the other two pair will last a long time! It's hard to find bootie style boots that are comfortable and stylish, that go with anything. I've been looking forever for a new pair! Extremely happy.
