Decatur Western Boot (Women)

I am a woman who wears size 5, and several Ariat boots start at 5.5. This model is beautiful; I loved it, but I don’t understand how a mid-calf boot can be designed without a zipper or elastic. Therefore, I couldn't even get the boot on to test it, let alone keep it, unfortunately. Comparing the sole with my other shoes, it was even biger, so I wouldn’t have been able to buy a bigger size. The problem is really the lack of a zipper or elastic. My other brand boots have zippers or elastics and work perfectly well. So I was disappointed with the brand, which has wonderful boots, but they just don’t work for me!
