Fit just as expected. I was nervous at first that they’d end up being too big but when I tried them on they fitted as expected! I usually wear size 7.5-8 depending how tight the shoes are, I chose to order a size 7 because many said to size down; it ended up being a perfect fit! I wouldn’t suggest going down two sizes as I feel like that would be wayyy too small. Downsizing half a size or a full size (depending on how narrow or wide your feet are) is the best option! Love these boots can’t wait for it to get colder to start wearing them, and yes they’re authentic Ugg boots.
