A.S. 98 Open Toed Ankle Boot size 39

My husband refers to these as my “Bad Ass Boot”, and wearing them kinda makes me feel that way. Unfortunately I fell in love with this boot and the closest size was a 39 which is actually a size too big. They are gently worn but never fit snug enough. The leather is foot and supple, the details and the distressed look make this boot, or sandal I can never decide.
