FLY London Women's Yada Boot - Stylish Ankle Boots for Women, Comfortable & Fashionable, Perfect for Casual Outings, Work & Date Nights

I bought these for a trip to Tennessee in the winter time, where I knew I would be walking a bunch, and I needed a boot that would accommodate a thick sock and not pinch my rogue baby toe that I broke years ago and that sort of rolls out to the side ever since. Ooh, look at my pretty run-on sentence! Anyway, the toe gets pinched and smashed, and every once in a while (several times a day, usually) drops me to my knees with a sharp crushing sensation when I wear most shoes. These arrived only two days before the trip, so no time to get them broken in, so I was worried, but they were perfect. I took along my other favorite boots (which do not have room for a thick sock) just in case, but ended up only wearing them one day out of the 8 we were there. In one day, these were perfectly broken in to my feet and never once crushed my toe. In two days, the thick sock was perfect, and they stayed that way. I walked all over Nashville and Memphis in these. My feet were warm, my wide toes were happy and never pinched, and I even ended up taking out my favorite arch supports in favor of the no support that the boots came with, because it was actually more comfortable without them, letting my feet just move the way they are supposed to. I love Fly London, and I have a few pairs of sandals and a Mary Jane in this footbed. I love them all. So happy to finally have a boot in this footbed now too. They were also very easy to fly in. Easy on and off, easy to adjust the calf width with swelling due to flight. I normally wear a 9, and the 40 was perfect, so I would call them true to size. I bought the leather ones, not the suede, because the reviews said the suede ones stretch out too much over time. I'm a big girl, and I normally change my shoes three or four times a day due to foot pain, so I don't walk much if I can help it. Which results in a depressing loop of me becoming a bigger girl. These made moving so comfortable and they felt so stable that they might just become my walking shoes, and make it possible for me to get out and enjoy walking regularly. How much is that worth?!
