Raffaela Up Mid Boot (Women)

Don’t believe what Nordstrom says about the calf circumference only being 14, it isn’t…I purchased an 8.5 and the calf was closer to a 16 which means these gorgeous boots were more like Wellington boots on a child rather than the sophisticated look we’d like to attain. Plus the way Shultz packed them, the suede on the back of the heel was already crushed! I know $300 is a lot for a pair of boots but I expect the same care in the description & packaging as I would with a $1500 pair! They also run huge size wise. I’m an 8-8.5, so boots I’ll go with an 8.5 to allow a pair of socks. Even with so is these boots were sloppy length wise. Go a half size down…very long toe box.
