I love these boots! I ordered them from Amazon and they came delivery from Shoes.com. I ordered the 7 1/2 size. They came true to size and appear well made.

I didn't get my boots from here, I did order them but they were out of stock. In the pictures they look awesome. But when I received them and put them on, they look kinda dorky and ugly. As for the sizing they do run true to size but it ticks me off that they don't make this in a size 9 1/2.
The 'outer layer of leather' is not what it appears to be. It is NOT a double layer of leather.
The shaft 'layer' is attached by a foam material to the 'shoe' guaranteed to rip, guaranteed. The pair that I recieved from Nordstrom's will go back. The cherry color is nice, and the heel height is nice, but that is all.
