Loved these boots when I was younger, so I got another pair. The length was perfect but the heel, ankle, and instep areas were enormous! It was loose, and a terrible fit. I had to wear extra thick socks and eventually fabric around the heel so that it would not slip. I ended up doing the bathtub shrink by soaking them with water and letting them dry by a small space heater overnight (left the toe area dry). They shrunk so perfect! I oiled and conditioned them after, and I couldn't be happier with the fit.
