These are... the most amazing comfortable, stylish, absolutely POPPING shoes I have EVER bought. I want them in every color now. I have plantar fasciitis that flares up very easily. I have worn $250 sneakers and my feet still hurt...However, this is the only shoe I can wear all day with minor to no discomfort. This is coming from a HS teacher that is always moving! I refuse to wear anything else now. They are exactly as pictured in the brown. Context: I wear a size 7 in Vejas, Hunter boots, Uggs, heels, most sneakers. Measured my instep (28cm) and widest points of foot (9-10cm). The instep was measured as seen in pictures. Normal arches. Sensitive plantar fasciitis. I was so so so nervous to order a pair due to the exchange policy. This was my first pair of blunnies so I did not know what to do size-wise. I have pretty normal feet, but I am so picky about shoes and how they fit. Especially when spending this much. I went ahead and ordered my true size. At first, when I put my foot in it fit... perfectly. Not too much room, but also just snug enough. The insted felt a hair's width away from being too tight. It made me nervous. But, ordering a size up would mean I would most likely have to wear thicker socks to fit comfortably, and if they stretched after some time, they would feel so big. So I kept them. I wore them EVERY DAY pretty much until the posting of this review (2 months and change). After 2 months of wearing it, the instep is roomier, and the boot fits me perfectly. I truly started feeling it break in after about 2 weeks of constant wear. The first week, I felt some rubbing and discomfort. They really get much much better with the RIGHT socks and consistent wear. Recommendation: Your true size works well for sizing. But, keep in mind if you have high arches, bunions, wide or slightly wide feet, I would say to order up either a half size or full size.
