I've worn similar Magnum boots in the past and have been pleased and got many years of heavy use out of them. I ordered my usual size 10W and when they arrived they were rather snug. I could have worn them with thin socks but with heavy socks, or feet swollen from a day of work, they would have been uncomfortable. Heed the warnings to order 1/2 size up from your usual. I sent them in for an exchange and will update this review after they arrive.
