After reading almost half the reviews on these boots, I was starting to regret ordering these online. Between them being to big, or too small, break in period, scuff marks, wrong color delivered, and so on.. I was just banking on them not fitting and returning and going in person and getting fitted for boots. This is my first pair I have ever worn. Straight out of the box they look perfect, no scuffs and the leather is nice and and already soft. These fit true to size. I wear a 11.5" to a 12" in most every shoe I own. I ordered the 11.5" and they fit perfect. I do not see a long break in period with these, if I wore them daily maybe a week. No scuffs out of box, correct color (brown) comfortable to wear out of box and fit perfect. Buy them if your size is still available, you will not regret this purchase.Just what I wantedThe insole did not feel as good or comfortable as the one I sent back.They r comfortable and fit my mans wide foot but they are a lil longNice bootfor a 2e I would have expected the boot opening and instep to be bigger, width is and length is perfect, if you hag a high ache or instep may be a bit tight possible able to stretchNot only did my size too big, but the boots have no padding what so ever. Decent insoles, but everything else is just a thin leather around your foot. Actually injured my foot today pretty good bc it's not protective at all. The are waterproof though.Good product. I probably should've gotten a bigger size.
