I was nervous about these because I am short (5'0) and wasn't sure if they would look good on me or be too bulky-looking. However, they look great! They are such unique boots and can be dressed up, down, or anywhere in between. I wore them to a conference the other day and they added some edge to my business-casual outfit.
I will say that I followed everyone's advice and went up a half size but I don't feel like it was necessary. They fit, but I have slightly more room than I need.
