The boots are just as pictured, although just as most Spell items, somehow a bit more magical in-person. I adore leather and fringe so I might be biased. I’m 5’2” and typically a Size 7. Was very unsure about whether to go for a 37 or 38 as I have a wider foot. When I tried them on initially I thought the 38s would be the better choice as the 37s felt snug on the sides. However the next day I was going to try on the 38s and even with socks they were too loose, and stretch is still to come. So I thought I’d give the 37s another try-on and they felt much better with socks. Probably also made a difference that it’s only morning, so no swelling from the day, but I think the pending stretch will solve the potential problem of end-of-day swelling. At 5’2, these come all the way up to my knees, so the v-shape in the cut is perfect for shorties as it allows us to still bend at the knee without disturbing the leather.

Adding pics. Sorry for poor quality! I had my 3 year old take them, lol. But they still give a good idea of the actual boot/fit.
