Cheaney Olivia R Wingcap Brogue Boot in Mahogany Grain Leather

This is an update to my first review - in the end, I made a huge mistake when I decided to follow the advice of other reviewers here and got these gorgeous boots half size smaller. When I tried them on at home, it seemed that they fit a bit tight, but not too much. However, as soon as I wore them outside for a full day, I realized my mistake and ended up with my toes hurting. Alas, by then it was already too late to exchange them due to Cheaney's rules. A real shame, because the boots are gorgeous. I wish I got them in my regular size.

I am in love with these boots - they are so well-made, fantastic color, easy to put on and take off, roomy and not heavy at all. However, I advise you ladies to try them on in store before purchsing, if you can. I usually get size 5 in Cheaney, but followed everyone’s recommendations here to go down half a size in this particular model. So the boots worked well for me width-wise, but they are somewhat tight length-wise (I have a longer big toe). Fingers crossed that after a few days of wear the leather gives in a bit. It’s only noticeable when I walk - if I check the big toe when I’m standing still, it seems that there’s more than enough room. Otherwise, these are gorgeous and classy!
