In all pointed toes I normally size up from my usual size of 8 to a 8.5 if available or 9 if not to make room for a foot pad if needed for added comfort and slippery surface materials. both 8.5 & 9 were out of stock, there was only 1 left in stock (an 8 & I got it) This booty fits me perfectly in the size 8 😓 the heel is 3.7 inches and the ankle circumstances is 10 inches with very little stretch. The boots are medium wide with in the footbed, the PU leather is very shiny and obviously fake but gives the boot an edgy feel, the heel hight is great but not much padding so I'm sure it's not a boot you could be comfortably in, for long periods on your feet! it's very cute though (shoe fetishist enthusiasm met, lol).
