These boots are just as cute in person. My daughter and I wear the same size in shoes, she really liked them too, so she'll probably scarf them from me! I would recommend going up in size. I usually wear a 6.5 but bought them in a size 7 and they're a little snug. I'm sure they'll loosen up a bit after I wear them a few times. Not insulated, (hence the 4 stars) so you'll need a thicker sock. These boots are perfect for Fall weather.
