Becca here:

I ordered size 12M because they didn't list 13 or 12W. They shipped 12W! They fit perfect!

I bought these due to the heel style for one of a series of dressy rugged photoshoots Walt is going to photograph I want to do in answer to a crazy challenge from a girlfriend.

They really aren't the prettiest of boots up front, but I wanted strong looking heels for this particular shoot. I don't mind using many of the heels in my wardrobe in ways that likely will ruin them, but none have a heel this style.

I say this because these boots are so comfortable and I'm debating trying to order a second pair in hopes of another wide pair arriving. Depending on how or whether they hold up will determine if I try to get a second pair to treat properly.

Normally I have to do at least a little work to get my footwear to not squeeze the tops of my feet. Not so with this pair!

I had reservations taking them out of the box as they looked absolutely humongous. Even though they are wide, I don't feel like they're calling attention to my feet.

They stunk coming out of the box, but now that I've worn them, the smell has dissipated some. The calves are a great fit on my larger ones.

We've walked around on the land and I really can't find anything major to mention. So far, we've navigated a few hills and the heels still feel sturdy (I've tried to be reasonably careful).

We crossed some shallow water (a couple of inches deep) and I was surprised to see the material darken like leather.
