LOL, it's sometimes hard to go to bed, isn't it?? I own the Laurette boots, and while Coach shoes and I don't always get along well, I do find their boots typically comfortable. I don't know why! These I really like because they have a high heel, but it's a rubber sole, which is great for walking on a lot of concrete, which I seem to do. I also love the height of the heel because I'm so freaking short!! These are a lot more comfy than the other leather boots with stripe liner...is it Monika?? I don't recall the name of that boot, but I had tried both and chose these even though the shaft is shorter (which I didn't like as well).
Usually I find their shoes run true to size or slightly larger. If they are pointy, I usually get the size I wear or next size up. I got my true size in these, and they seem fine. I think they would be too big otherwise. In general, I find them very comfortable...and I don't usually say that about Coach shoes!
Oh, and I would much rather troll the forum and Ebay than listen to my DH snore, so I would say continue trolling or get a pair of earplugs!!
