Spring Step Women's Heroic Boot - Waterproof Ankle Boots for Women, Comfortable Slip Resistant Winter Shoes | Perfect for Hiking, Work & Outdoor Activities

I just received this boot today and I love it! It looks similar to a boot I owned many years ago so I had to have this one. It's soft and comfortable. I have never bought a shoe that has 2 sizes so I was a little skeptical about it. I used to be a perfect size 5 1/2 M from childhood well into adulthood until my very high arches started to fall so now I am a perfect size 6M. This shoe is a 5 1/2 - 6. I thought it would be too tight but it is loose. I think I can make it work with "thick" socks and my arch orthotics. I am afraid to send for the 5 because it may be too small. A shoe cannot be two sizes but this one is but shouldn't be for obvious reasons. I can wear a 5 1/2 in sandals but not in a closed toe shoe. This shoe would be too big for someone wearing a 5 1/2, in my opinion, because I now wear a 6M and this boot is loose on me.The other thing is the color. It is advertised as black multi but I have looked at it in the light and all I see is black and that is okay. I do see that the zipper is purple. Because I bought this shoe with a coupon I got it for a very good price so the price and the shoe all in all is great. My only worry is will my foot slip and slide in this boot over a period of time. I will wear around the house on the carpet for a few days and then determine whether or not to return. It would break my heart to have to return it. I wish I could try on the size 5 without having to order and wait for shipping. I am up in the air about it right now.This shoe did not need both a zipper and laces because it is roomy enough to get your foot in with just the laces.
