These boots are a size 7, but I had them stretched to fit size 7.5. They are also waterproofed. Broken in and ready to wear, they look great with dresses or leggings. Please look at photos for scratches on back heel of boots. I used to cross my legs behind and the buckle scraped. Still tons of life left in the soles. My calves are 15 inches at their largest and the boots fit well with a thin sock.
