Cropped Leather Tassel Waterproof Boot (Women)

The Tassel Bootie is a beautifully made, and I love the look. Unfortunately, I followed the sizing suggested by the manufacturer and Nordstrom, I have worn the boots outside once, they are too wide, too thick, and maybe a 1/2" to 1" inch too long. They kill my feet to try and wear a too big shoe. I have tried wearing ski socks, or heavy socks and nothing helps. I usually take a 7 1/2 or an 8, I would suggest going into the store and trying before purchasing.
