I definitely did my research when it came to finding a pair of black booties. I really liked this style and the reviews made me feel comfortable buying them online. I usually wear an 8 in sandals, 8.5 in sneakers. Initially I bought the 8.5 but it was still a little snug. I ended up returning them and buying the 9 which was perfect! The free return shipping made it easy. I love nordstroms and I love these booties! I plan on getting the cognac ones as well.
These are my favorite booties -- I've had them since April 2014. I wear them with dresses/rompers/jeans/leggings/skirts... literally everything. I wore them in Vegas and thought I destroyed them... but got some suede cleaner and they looked good as new after some TLC! I highly recommend these booties -- I've never regretted my purchase!
