would you say these run true to size? or maybe half a size small? i’ve been eyeing the yellow pair on garmentory but they only have 8.5 not 9 for me !!

i bought a big bud press zip tote last year that has basically become my comfort bag. i put a bunch of pins and patches on it to liven it up (it's a light natural canvas color). it's not a particularly glamorous bag but it's sturdy and fits everything i need without being overly bulky. i take it everywhere!

Omg I JUST bought the yellow from the real real. I’m doing to the ‘no buy’ January but had to break it for these. Love the review, excited for them even more now.

Love love, What do you think of these Vs the Frye yellow campus? I’ve been eyeing the Frye but maybe these are better / cuter / more versatile? Thanks!

I've tried the Frye campus boots and ended up reselling bc I preferred this toe shape (more square) where the Frye feels more rounded. Also, the Frye leather is thicker and harder which can be a plus for some, but these are a little more *dressy*

What a great pair. I am a bit disappointed because they won’t work for my “extra wide” calves, which need a 17 inch circumference. It’s suggest you explore DuoBoots as well!

ah definitely, I wish all shoe makers would include various calf widths in their sizes. Especially since I feel like the industry just normalizes "regular" calf when most ppl are actually the "wide" calf or would be more comfortable with a wider calf! thank you for the duoboots rec!
