I recently purchased a "antiqued brown, Veronica bootie in the size I've been wearing for 4 decades. First off they were not antiqued, barely! I did not try them on immediately KNOWING I ordered MY size! I decided to "distress" them myself, I love the "worn" look, just not thinking whatsoever about the fit! After I was done distressing them, I TRIED like heck to even get them on! (I know my fault for distressing, and could not get a return) they run ATLEAST a WHOLE size smaller than your normal size! After I got one on, it was so tight on my foot, I couldn't get it off! Once I did, I used a "shoe stretcher" on them for DAYS! And STILL can't get them on my foot! I measured up to other numerous boots of mine, and they are indeed, ONE SIZE smaller than what label states! Oh I'm pissed! Buyer beware! Order larger, and the antiqued look MUCH better in photo than in person, they are NOT! OUCH!
