Collie5 , My 14l broke in immediately. I put them on and wore them for many hours the first day with no problems at all and walked a LOT. Matter of fact I wear them almost all the time they are so comfortable. I wear thick socks with mine and the 1/2 size down fits perfectly, they might feel slightly sloppy on my feet without the thick socks but that is what I wear all winter so it is fine.Thank you! Yes, I have found this board to be VERY cliquey. I did find one or two threads on other topics where a couple of people replied to me, but for the most part, I seem to be a "Thread Killer". Once I post it seems the threads shut down.
I have some foot problems so finding comfortable shoes that are fashionable is a challenge. Also, I am not a person who works in a setting where dressy clothes and shoes are appropriate (I work in a veterinary clinic), and I'm not a dress up person anyway. The most I usually dress up is when I wear a nice suit in the dog show ring showing my dogs. I'm not sure I would pay the kind of money for the CL's etc. even if I did have occasions to wear that type of shoe. I'm way more comfortable in jeans and boots. Thank you again for your reply!
On Zappos it looks like the 14R and 14g are the same boot so the fit should be the same as the 14l .I think you will love them!!
Dragonette, I like that white skirt on you.It looks good with the boots too.
