I love this brand and these shoes. For some odd reason, this particular shoe runs big somehow. My regular size was about a 1/2 to 1 size off. I could put my thumb in front of my big toe and still had a little extra room. I just returned them and ordered a smaller size. I love them. They are SO CUTE and stylish!!!I would go one full size up to wear with socks.I'm really enjoying these shoes! That said I had to make some major adjustments before this could be the case. The ankle area is really "roomy" relative to the foot part. I found that cinching down the laces + straps (which I was pleased to discover are adjustable, not just decorative) helped a lot. Also, as some of other reviewers have commented here, there's potential for annoying/painful interactions between the wearers ankles and a hard plastic structure in the back of the shoes. I walked three miles when I first received these, and my ankles were not happy. To address this, I cut into the inside of each boot and cut a bit off the plastic structure. I'm now able to walk comfortably, with warm feet. The bottoms of the shoes also feel really solid, which I appreciate. All in all, a bit of work required to get these into working form, but the outcome has been good.Love the color, slightly darker than in the photos. I usually have to buy only wide shoes, especially boots, but so glad I took a chance, just enough room not to pinch my "duck feet". Probably nice & roomy for most. As for other comments that the sizes were off & too big, once I tightened up all the laces that issue resolved.I work in a very large building with 14 theaters. This is my 2nd pair of boots. Very stylish, extremely comfortable. Wish the soles lasted a little bit longer. I wear them for about 8 months.The boot fit great. At first, I was worried it might not, but it did, and the straps make it more customizable for fit. I usually wear size 7 or 7.5 in US shoes and size 8 in boots, and bought size 8. I like the style, and it didn't run against my skin or hurt like I saw in a few other reviews. I don't know how long the sole will last yet because I've only had them for about 4 months.The boots run a bit large. I usually buy boots half a size larger so that I can wear thick socks, but I didn't need to do that with these boots. Just buy your exact size. They're not slippery on the gravel but they are slippery on stone and tiled floors.I ordered my usual size and when I took these out of the package, they were huge. They're at least 1.5 sizes too big but with heavy socks they fit a bit better and it's not worth the hassle of returning them and ordering another pair. I like the style and the quality is good, especially for the price. I'd suggest ordering a half size down from whatever size you wear.Je les adore vraiment. Les commentaires disaient de prendre une taille en plus moi j'ai pris du 1/2 pouce mais elles font grandes. Je fais du 9 généralement et j'ai pris du 9 et demi. Elles sont grandes même avec des bas épais. Mais je suis confortable pareil et les adore. Les boots CLIFFS sont les meilleurs après Dr Martens et ClarksMe quedaron un poco grandes pero nada que una media gruesa no solucione ? la marca me encanta y este modelo está hermoso
