Leather on foot area is decent, but not as good a quality as I would have expected for the high price point of these boots.  I probably would have sent these back, however, I did get them on such a good sale, that I've decided to keep them and make them work.  Fit is as expected however they were a bit tight at first.  They are though, already loosening up and, I am confident that my normal size 9.5D is going to work fine.
