Very nice boots.  Definitely need to where boot socks with them.  They're stiffer than my Ramblers, which can be worn with any socks because they're so soft.  These will rub you if you don't have the right socks.  I've never gotten as many compliments on shoes/boots as I've had with these boots.  I wear a size 14 normally, I got these in a 13EE, just as I have my other Ariats and they fit perfect.
