Tin Haul Women's Man Eater Shoes - Stylish & Comfortable Cowgirl Boots for Western Fashion, Country Dancing & Outdoor Adventures

So I have been eyeing these kicks for some time now. I wear a 7/7.5 and I didn't go for what most of the buyers say going a size down, I went for a size up. I bought both the size 7 and 8 to see the fit. The size 7 was very tight and constricting. The size 8 was a little loose but if you use some inserts like Dr. Scholl's, it fits better. The other consideration is that when you're on your feet more, your feet might expand a little bit so that's why I had to get the size up. I have some pretty thick calves and fitting through the stovepipe was no issue. It didn't even tight and I could walk around. If you have wide feet like mine, might want to consider going half a size or a full size up. However, if you live in places like Winterfell or North Dakota where it's continously ice and snow, be cautious because these man eaters aren't anti skid. So strut with caution.
