Please read this before you buy. I am listing the EXACT same shoes twice once as an 8.5 and a 9.5 for those that have researched and know they need to size down. I do LOVE these boots despite the terrible sizing now that I have them in the correct size. All the reviews say these run 1 size big. I am an 8-8.5 in all shoes and I ended up with these in a 7. I am not sure why they messed with the sizing on these because I have the taller sport boots as well and the 39 is an 8 which is perfect. These say 8.5 and Euro size 40.5. Even the websites list the 40.5 as an 8…so they are not even sure! Whatever. Just so frustrating because it is impossible to find women’s gear live and in person. Anyway, read the reviews before you purchase! These are online right now for $159.99. I wore them twice. They do have some marks on them and the white is a little dirty from the ride. In my opinion these would work best for a 9, 9.5, and maybe a 10 if you like them more fitted or you are between 9.5-10. Just hoping to get a little of my money back since I wore these.
