etnies Women's Regiment Boot

I love the way these look. However, they run small. I usually wear an 8/8.5 but the 8 was like cramming my foot into a child's shoe. I exchanged it for the 9 and was still disappointed that it was pretty tight, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping it back again so I kept them. I figured they would stretch because they are suede/leather (whatever it is). I'm glad I did because they fit great now. The first week of wearing them was really uncomfortable, but now they slip on and off when I loosen the laces and I get compliments everywhere I go. I absolutely love these.
