Boots arrived nicely packaged with the extra pink laces. Unzipped right boot to try on and zipper sticks if unzipped all the way. Left boot does not do this. Ankles are rather large and bulky but I read that in other reviews and purchased anyways. Little snug on the top of my feet but hopefully after breaking them in this will help. True to size fit. I wear a 6.5 in all of my cowboy boot brands so that is what size I ordered. Super comfy other than being tight on top of foot. Thinking about ordering the purple ones also! Had to end up having them stretched and that seemed to so the trick. My left had to be stretched a little more than right. I wear them all the time even at work. And I work alot of hours and on my feet alot. Would recommend these to anyone looking for tall comfy boots!
