the shoe feels tight, but you're able to break them in when you walk in them,

First off the color and snakeskin pattern is on point 👉 it's black Vining, teal blue, rust with glitter gold throughout, just fabulous 👌. Now size that is why it has only 4 stars. I purchased a half size up and the footbed is a little snug around and my toes go right to the round part of the boot fitted more like a narrow size 8 and was difficult zipping up from the bottom til I got to the ankle, from that area on up it was smooth sailing ⛵️ the calf area is a dream, I have 16 Inc calfers and the boot is 18 inches around the calf 😊 easy to tuck in a pair of pants 👖 😀. Walking is not a problem with the heels because it's only 3.4 inches in height but I will say they have no cushions, typical for FN boots and because they are already tight around the footbed, sadly I can't add my own. For reference my foot measurements are 9.5 inches long, 3.5 inches wide. 9 inches in circumference and 16 in calf. US 8.
