These boots are super cute and very comfortable! I almost did not purchase them based upon some of the reviews stating they were hard to put on, but I decided to try them anyway. I am glad that i did! I have no problem putting them on and am quite satisfied by how comfortable they are. I will note, though, that my shoe size varies between 8 and 8.5, depending on the brand and type/style of shoe. I bought the 8.5. So, my suggestion is that if your size varies, then order the bigger size. I think that perhaps those who had trouble putting on the boot may have just purchased a size that was a tad too small.
