I chose my regular size. Initially, they were a bit tight, but that was until the leather stretched. Beautifully crafted boots with lovely gold details. They are slightly overpriced, but I bought them knowing that I would pay extra for the brand. The gold buckle on the side is a bit inconvenient, as the laces come out of the hooks unless I tie them extremely tight (very uncomfortable). Lastly, I should mention that they don't have any inner lining, so if you want to keep your feet warm, choose a size larger to be able to wear thick socks!
