So pretty but the rhinestones have a lot of tissue stuck on them from packaging. Then it’s super stiff material so go up one shoe size since it doesn’t fit correctly.The boots are pretty in the light but, i needed tweezers to pry off the tissue that was stuck all over the boots that they came packed in. I walked on grass to get to our down town boardwalk, little did i know the grass was freshly cut. The boots picked up blades of grass because of the tackiness. Some stones were missing too. Im going to keep them but wont buy this brand again.Definitely need to size up a half size. I can fit my bare foot in but probably not a sock and foot. There is Faint smell of the glue but I only smell it if I’m right on top of them. There are some sparkles are upside down which is weird if they are hand put on and they weren’t reviewed. Like they are easy to spot within the first minutes of opening the box. Those are my only critique. Other than that they are beautiful and I cannot wait to wear them out!Love them! I normally wear between a 7.5 and an 8. I bought a 8 and they fit perfect! I feel like a super star in these boots! Also, they are comfortable. Just get them!They picked a bad glue and crystal application process for shoes. I wore these boots once and they are ruined because everything sticks to the glue (including the packing tissue paper)Shoes came with stones falling off with no adhesive in some areas and then with adhesive still sticky and tissue paper sticking to other part of the shoes. After 3+ hours of reapplying rhinestones and gently removing the tissue paper they look like they should. I had planned to reuse the box to keep the shoes after wearing them for my wedding but looks like I’ll have to buy a different storage for them. Not what I expected when I bought $160 designer shoes. I would have asked for a replacement but they didn’t offer that option and no other sellers had the shoes in my size.Shoes run narrow like the manufacture states but I was able to fit in my normal size.These Betsey Johnson Hiking Boots are just as described and received when expectedI love the toe being tapered so it's not super clunky. The color is what made me keep this. The glue was so sticky the tissue paper was stuck inbetween jewels so I had to pick a lot off which was frustrating and why i only gave them 4 stars.Once you take the time to do that, you are good. Definitely be cautious when putting these on tho, some of the stones were stuck sideways so I already have a little spot where one came off and I haven't worn them yet.It's hard to lace them as there are stones at the bottom and top of the tongue; so you have to work each line at a time. But overall once they are on, they are quite spectacular
