lost my mind? contemplating dye-ing suede boots...

i think all cl boots run small in general.

evolkatie, do you own a pair of CL boots? i thought it may be too small also, but for example, everyone always says Rolandos/Mad Marys run small, and to get 1/2 to 1 size larger, and i got a 37 (i am normally 36/36.5), and they are falling off my foot (especially left one - it is smaller), and i've had to put tip toes, and DOUBLE heel pads on each shoe... so then i thought there MAY be hope with these boots...

oh i hope so... if anyone here owns anything ariella style, please let me know ASAP!!!
 
If it's any help I got Laponos in a 41 which is the same size for all my CL's so far ( the ones I have at 41.5 I have to pad out ). The toe box was ridiculously tight but the length was perfect. Once I stretched them using socks and a couple of painful wears they were just fine. I have long toes which is my problem, if you don't I think you'll find it easier

Do you have a CL outlet near you ? perhaps try on a 36 bootie and see just how tight it is ?
