Lira Hiker Boot (Women)

I’m super underwhelmed with these boots. They are stiff and plastic feeling for leather boots. When I ordered, I could have sworn it said to order a size down but now it doesn’t- so these have to go back anyway because they are too small. But I don’t think I’m even going to try and get my normal size because of how they feel.

I usually wear size 8, and my feet are about 24.5cm long. Size 39 runs about half-size larger for me, but I can still walk in them with some room for my feet. I purchased those in white. The exterior is 100% cow leather and the interior is 100% goat leather. I think the tongue is wider than most of combat boots. Because it is wider, it supports my feet very well. While walking, my feet, ankle, and legs all feel comfortable. The zipper on the side makes it very easy to put them on/off. There are also multiple ways to lace up the boot. Overall, I'm obsessed with its style and quality. It is a well-made pair of boots. Right now, I'm debating with myself whether to buy another pair in black.

Reading the reviews, there is a huge debate whether to size up or not. I decided to order my true size (8). They did fit perfectly when I tried them on with a thin ankle sock, so yes, I would say they are technically TTS. However, realistically I would wear these boots with a thicker crew sock, and when I tried them on with them, the boot was uncomfortably snug and I didn’t feel it would stretch out well enough to be comfortable in the future. I ended up returning these for the Donita boot which I did size up for to wear with a thicker sock!
