Flame on!🔥🔥 These booties are so unique! The scales on the side are a great touch that adds a bit of panache. I usually get a size 10 in Akira's shoes that are on sale, but they were out of stock. My actual size is a 9-9.5, so I bought the 9 to see if I could get into it without any problems, and I was able to fit them. They're a tiny bit tight across the top, but that's not a them issue, that's a me issue, so I'm not going to take away any points for that. The laces are very long, which feels like I should be able to loosen them up a bit. Truly a unique and beautiful boot.

These are very unique and have a great high fashion industrial look to them--if that can be a thing lol. Great ankle support and the platform combined with the chunky heel will definitely make for a smooth walking experience. They didn't have my size 10 that I usually get --I wear a 9-9.5 but always order up in most of their shoes, although depending how they're made, I can fit a 9 easily and comfortably---so I ordered the 9. They fit a little snug in the toe box, but the laces were still fully tightened straight out of the box, so I'm hoping to losen them up and open the width up a bit more so they'll fit a little better. But that's a me thing, nothing to do with the shoes, and I don't expect it to be a big deal. Still a beautiful and unique boot. I also ordered the black moto jacket with the same type of scales on the sleeves, so I'm looking forward to putting a look together with both pieces. Beautiful boots 👢 💕
