Adria Knee High Boot

I like the height of these boots, as well as the deep wine color and the brass detail. However, the best part is that I was able to walk all over London on my first day wearing them with only a little rubbing on the outer toe of my right foot (which is a genetic reality and no fault of the boots!). I took my normal 9.5 and found the regular width worked fine for my larger calves. I wore these with tights on my first outing and hope that with time and wear these will be perfect with regular socks. Really happy with this find.

My normal size in Vince Camuto, Sam Edelman, Clark's & Stuart Weitzman is 8M. Five & 1/2 months ago, I had surgery on my left foot. The swelling is receding, but it's still a little swollen. I have to be careful with any shoes or boots because my toes, on the left foot, are still sensitive & tender. The color, rich mahogany, was so enticing that I took a chance & ordered my usual 8M, regular calf width. For reference: I am: 69 yo, 5'4", 145lb., calf width at thickest: 13 1/2". The top of the boot comes just under my knee. That length from my ankle to the top of the boot is 12 inches. The left foot is a little snug; but I couldn't go to an 8 1/2 or my heel would slip. No thick socks, just hosiery socks. I wore the boots around the house , on tile & hardwood, for about an hour. No rubbing of any kind or pinching. The online picture doesn't do this boot justice. The detailing, leather & construction are luxurious. I love the addition of the gold saddle bit in the back of the boot. This is this season's fall color & will go with so many of my outfits.
