I bought these under the impression that they were going to be a new pair of work boots that I would have to break in. Unfortunately, when I unboxed the shoes, it was very clear that they had been heavily worn before. The front was scuffed and the leather edge surrounding the top ankle part was already cracked or scraped off. Definitely not a new pair of boots.

The fit was as expected, could have gone up half a size just to have more room.

Overall, not the worst pair of boots. They do the job and are okay. But I will not be purchasing these again.

**UPDATE: shoe completely fell apart and detached from the soles within the first three weeks
