Norella Buckle Bootie (Women)

I try to buy Cole Haan on sale because they’re one of the few companies that make a 10 1/2. This boot did not come in at 10 1/2 so I bought the 11 and with a pair of Not too thick socks they fit perfectly. What I love about them is the small square toe. When you have a foot my size, you certainly don’t want to enhance it although I do wear pointed boots also. I also bought a pair of Donald Pliner boots with a round toe that I will be returning because they look like Fred Flintstone shoe if anyone remembers him. I definitely don’t like a round toe on my foot. Might get these in another color also other than black suede.

I purchased all 3 colors thinking I would only keep 1 pair and return the others. I usually wear a size 7.5 in CH , but also ordered a size 8 as it has been several years since my most recent CH order. The 7.5 fit perfectly and all 3 colors work beautifully with my wardrobe and I ended keeping all 3. Surprisingly I wear the I wear the brown and dark camel color the most. Look great with trousers and dresses.

I love the style of the booties, however, they’re running on the small side for me. I’ve been a size 11 in all boots/booties for years, and I have boots and booties that range from 10-11 that I still wear comfortably. I wear a 10-10.5 in Cole Haan sneakers, and I have a pair of (CH) sandals that ran so large I went all the way down to a 9.5! I wish CH would be more consistent with sizing. I have another pair, same brand, very similar that I bought (same size) a few years ago, that fit just fine. So I would recommend sizing up if u wanna wear a thicker sock with them. Not sure if I’m gonna keep them or not, just received today so the jury’s still out on them for now. I have several pairs of this brand ranging from sandals to boots/booties, which I’ve never had to go larger than an 11, and that ONLY applies to boots/booties.
